We did a compression test and heres what we found:

cylinder #1= 175 psi
cylinder #3= 180
cylinder #5= 180
cylinder #6= 170
cylinder #4=0
cylinder #2= 175

There was also gas on the #3 cylinder spark plug.. (which we are guessing we need a new fuel injector) ..for the cylinder we are thinking its just head gasket replacement..and re-doing the valves..The heads were machined 2011, and we need to redo timing. Just wanna get some extra advice to consider thanks.:drink: This truck is facilitating my drinking!

Of course I finished up the day I moved into a new apartment haha. Then I got sent to StL for 2 months for work. No truck = BOOOO! Oh, well it was fine. I got back last week, squirted some carb cleaner, jumped the battery and boom, it's running like a dream. I haven't had a chance to really drive it too much, just warm it up. I'm looking forward to winter and snow though haha.

I have been interested in a new fuel source.
So HHO Hydrogen Fuel cell Generetor is what I've chosen to do.
Anyone have any ideas or best kits to buy?
I found this company...looks good.

Did fix tires and attempted to drive it home but it kept pulling to right and the passenger front tire is tilted. Upper part is out, lower is in. So got to check that before I can drive it. So its sitting at my moms. My father in law is gonna bring down his F350 and trailer and tow it back to my house for me when he gets back in town. Its crazy of all the car guys i know not 1 of us have a big enough trailer. So have to sit and wait. My wife said that if I want a straight axle she may get me it for christmas and that would prob be all i get. Told her to split cost with my mom and sister. Only cause I found a u pull it yard that has a 84 4x4 sitting, guy says he is not sure if it has the front axle, its your yard and you dont know, REALLY!!! enought to make a man go nuts.

My little sister has been using my 86 Yota Truck cause her eclipesdecide that its fuel pump wanted to go out. Have to wait till she gets paid and then I will put it in so she can drive it. But she was using my Yota and was going home after give a friend a ride home and was about 1 mile from my moms house and a full grown brown bear comes out in the road. We live in a small town in Colorado and are very close to the mountains. The bears have been very bad. They have been getting in to residencal areas alot this year. With the lack of food cause of people building in the mountains they are coming down adn getting in the trash. But back to the accident. It was dark about 8pm.
She reacted like most and start to aim to the left but the bear decided to go that way. The bears head was above the hood. So with the impact i figure the bear to be a full grown male and weight in about 600 plus. My sister says the head was bigger then a bowling ball. She is ok, some bumps and bruises, nothing serious. When she went right she hit the bear, then went off the road and took out a electircal pole and a 12x12 fence post. She called our mom and mom called me. My reaction was of course is she ok. She was and I wanted to go hunt the bear. Had my shotgun with slugs, just incase it was still there, in my F150. But it wasnt and the county deputys and state trooper were there. Power lines were hanging so power company had to come and repair the lines. Took her to the house and waited till the trooper called. Got the call and went to get it.
It did START!!!! Got to love the old 22re. Passenger side tire was off the bead and the rim was bent to hell and back. The spare i had was falt also. So had to limp it home at about 5mph till i got it to house. Went today to fix tires(drivers side went flat, small bend in the rim) and finally saw the front. Found the front support by the grill and infront of radiator bent. Will upload pics soon. I wanted to cry, Have had this truck since I was 19 and its been there for me throught alot of lifes changes for me. And since it had liability only I got to fix it all out of pocket. So it will take a little while. The front end needs almost 100% replaces. Lights, grill, bumber, hood, fenders. But from what I saw there was no frame damage. Will upload pics to computer then post. And ideas of how to help, where to get parts or words of encouragment LOL will help. Wont let the old Yota die. I will do all I can to make it live again. ]]> dsal_86Yota http://www.yotatech.com/blogs/dsal_86yota/1039-rebuild-my-86-yota-pickup-after-sister-hit-bear-electrical-pole-fence-post.html http://www.yotatech.com/blogs/chosenchange/1038-wow-buying-house-sure-slows-truck-work-down.html Thu, 11 Aug 2011 03:39:39 GMT So the purchase of my house has really put a belt around my whole budget for a build.

I am kicking myself for buying a house without a garage but price and back yard are right. I am starting the rebuild on my engine in my living room cause I figure i need to get that done before a girl wants to live in my house with me cause I know that would never fly. I bought a dvd on how to take apart a 22r from start to finish and I think I should be able to follow directions. The engine itself is a japan transplant with 81 xxx so it should be pretty straight forward. I have purchased the kit from egnbldrs and got the more aggressive cam. I have an optima battery Cadillac alternator mount and weber carb. I have good n bad things about the carb but im gonna run it anyway and get it jetted for the area. I would perfer in the near future having a 300sd motor rebuilt and ill drop that in but for now simple engine rebuild is project enough. I will also be putting in the rear 63s and four inch ruf lift in front I am just mastering the welding skills needed. I got the back half of that mini truck trailer semi built and lifted it will work for now but a serious adventure trailer is in the horizon. I think all in all i just need to marry a rich girl or win the lottery. lol with the way life is going I think I would have less drama with the lotto win lol :) More to come but slowly!! ]]> chosenchange http://www.yotatech.com/blogs/chosenchange/1038-wow-buying-house-sure-slows-truck-work-down.html http://www.yotatech.com/blogs/flearunner/1037-1st-2nd-gen-brush-guard.html Tue, 09 Aug 2011 19:43:08 GMT I just removed this guard.

I have to say, it was a lot of fun. I came away with only two things to fix; 1: Passenger window jumped out of the track, 2: Vac. leak somewhere around the carb.

One of those is a quick fix, the other, not so much. I definitely think I am going to un-crank my torsion bars (PO's work not mine) and lift the front end proper. After the carb is fixed of course. On another note, having a work truck DD definitely takes a lot of stress out of off-roading hahah. ]]> AbeWhat http://www.yotatech.com/blogs/abewhat/1036-first-fix-eighty-six.html http://www.yotatech.com/blogs/shrockworks/1035-shrockworks-toyota-bumpers.html Wed, 20 Jul 2011 17:36:33 GMT Link: 5th Gen 4Runner Front Winch Bumper (http://www.shrockworks.com/5th-Gen-4Runner-Winch-Bumper-Bull-Bar-Front-Bumper-pr-16259.html) Image:...
