russtri · 10-07-2009, 01:50 PM

Where did you get the rebuild kit from? The parts look awesome. Also, are you sure that your truck is a 81 with square lights? Mine has the old round ones.

Lumpy · 10-07-2009, 01:58 PM

Sweet job lookin good!!!

83 · 10-07-2009, 03:59 PM

Yeah you should totally go back to round headlights. That grill is stock for round headlight trucks, so you shouldn't have to swap anything out there. Looking nice!

jtcessna · 10-07-2009, 04:34 PM

hey guys i have a question can yall help? i am gettn a 3 in body lift for my bday friday and i was wonderin if i can install it leave the boot off for shifter and drive it to a place to weld the spacer in the shifter. i am driving 25miles to my dads to do lift and then back to weld it, will it work with the boot off the shifter?

chuckleheadedness · 10-07-2009, 04:55 PM

yes, me too. How much is it s prize now?

81 yota 4x4 · 10-07-2009, 08:17 PM

Yes its an 81 i dont know why the guy before me switched to square headlights, i got the rebuild kit from a guy with a little 4x4 shop in Enumclaw, i cant think of the name of it off the top of my head. I dont have a clue about your body lift problem, my truck came with a 3 in. body lift and it dosnt have a boot on it atm.
did i miss sumthin? what prize?

83 · 10-08-2009, 06:39 AM

I don't know either, seems like some thread hijacking going on.

Some people like the square headlights better...can't say why. I sold mine from my '83 to 4x4Yota on this site and he switched his rounds over to squares. I did like the look of my truck with square headlights, but not half as much as I like the round look. Depending on what they did to your truck...you'll probably just have to find the headlight brackets to switch back. Getting the buckets would be nice, but you don't have those right now, so it depends on how much you want them.

yoder519 · 10-08-2009, 11:24 AM

ahhh man i love your truck! i dont see how you handle runnin those 36s on stock gears. i thouhgt my 33s was bad on stock gears haha. but anyways nice truck

and yes threadjacker you can leave the boot off. i installed my body lift a month ago and still dont got the boot on

this is true I prefer the square over the round ... If I still have the buckets I could send them your way if you pay shipping... not sure if I have them still Id have to look

81 yota 4x4 · 10-08-2009, 11:02 PM

well that would be cool, i was just gonna see if the junk yard had some for me

81 yota 4x4 · 10-17-2009, 10:25 PM

just got back from the first road drive!!!!
ran up the hill to a buddys house for a bonfire and back home, she aint no cadilac but nuthin went wrong.
the reason it wouldnt charge was cause the voltage regulater was fried, instead of gettin a new one i put in an alternater out of a cj and bi passed it (basicly a chevy one wire but cheeper

)
im stoked
my buddy's 83 made mine look like a show truck
