hahaha i know what ya mean, i grew up around my dads 79 so im partial to the round ones, just think it dont look as boxy, thats one thing i dont really like about 2nd gens all that much is there boxy, but after owning my 86 for a year and a half the 2nd gens have grown on me

westjohns yota

i love my second gen! love my 1st gen more though.... cmon its a 4 speed!

1986yota4x4

id love to have a 81, first year of 22r, 5spd, and still round headlights!

westjohns yota

hhaha true im a year off, fidning n 81 sr5 with round headlights is like an 85 sr5 xtra cab 4wd with the 22re, toyota only had one year of the good toys!!!

1986yota4x4

at least for the american ones, i want a austrailian crew cab first gen with teh diesel

westjohns yota

seriously dude, that or a second gen crew cab with the 2l turbo diesel, my dad almost imported his when he lived in aus. said he went places he never would have thought he would have went with that thing but he said important costs were so high it wasnt worth it

westjohns yota

thought about "yotatech" on the back like xxtreme87 did with his flatbed, got the same tailgate, plywood!

Personally? I'm really torn on this subject.... I keep reading EVERY swap thread I can, and it seems they're ALL full of their own pro's and cons, ya know?

7MGE might give you plenty of power with less 'things' in there to worry about. But hey, if you're ambitious and just WANT A TURBO, no talkin you out of it?, lol.... Then go for it! But as a DD? I think the 7MGE will SHOCK you in the power dept..... Probably in the mileage dept. too! hahaha... But seriously, I had a Cressida with one(another with a 5MGE, which was DAYUM hard to tell the difference in power therein between the two cressidas)..... And the thing was PLENTYYYYY powerful.

Yeah, this is a tuff one... You have a line on a Supra Motor? Hopefully the whole supra????

I'm torn between LOTS of them, but the big 3 would be 1UZ, 7MGE or 3RZ.... I LOVE the 3.4... But I think, from what I've read, it's the most ambitious of the 4 swaps... 7MGE is supposedly the easiest fit(along with PLENTY of wiring to do, sure enough! lol.).... Honestly? NEVER understood why, since Yota loves the Straight Motors.... why didn't they slap a 7MGE into the earlier Yota's, rather than the 3.0?

Sorry, getting on a 'FUTURE CHRISTMAS LIST TANGENT', hahaha... But I'm REALLY close to deciding which motor and then bringing it home and SLOWLY, over time, restoring it to pristine and possibly some mods(depending on which motor)... I think you're a bit different than me in this... in that you aren't thinking SUPER LONGEVITY like I seem to be, lol... BUT, it IS your DD for the time being, right? ............ I tell ya what, I look forward to WHATEVER you do... But MAN, if you sell this thing half way into gathering parts, getting me all worked up again....I'MA SCREAM 'TEASE' all over the net! hahaha.

westjohns yota

hahaha idk mark, the only reason i even thought of this was a full surpra that had been rear ended popped up on my local CL for 1000 with the 7mgte and i was tempted, my phone crapped out on me so no pics for a good while, hopefully get a new phone soon so thatll fix that, shes sittin in the barn out back and the beds in my garage slowly being brought back to perfect.... for the tme being all im worried about paying it off, i only owe like 400$ ill prob pay it off next week and slowly start buyng tools and parts

i agree with what chef was saying. im really really impressed with my runner and the 7mge. so much more power over stock, for mine its a bolt in swap, probably a little different for you though. my runner gets up and goes now, throttle response is awesome, and people dont expect it because they hear a car! haha when i first got it my first goal was to turbo, i got to reading and i decided against it. main reason is from all the heat and cooling down and spooling up and all just wouldnt really be that great for wheeling. not to mention you have to build it up stronger because of all the boost. i think 7mge, or maybe 2jzge!

westjohns yota

whats your mpgs? this isnt my wheeler so i wouldnt be worring abpout it myself, id be strictly a daily/ hunting truck

yota864x4

when i got it from the po he said he was getting low 20s out of it, im sure he drove it like a old grandpa who cant see good no more. i drive like i stole it and im getting 12-15.

if its not for wheeling than heck yea, totally go for 7mgte. that would be way cool. total sleeper too

westjohns yota

i think ill stick with the ole stock 22r, alot easier and cheaper. plus ill have more money to spend on my 86.... heellloooooo air lockers.....

westjohns yota

i really need a camera, started building a box to go between the seat and the shifter or my cobra 25 and a new cd player, didnt want to hack up the old dash to fit it in

westjohns yota

LOVE my deck... And you should be able to grab it for around that or under.........

http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PU...ers/DEH-7300BT

I got mine for 130$ I believe... Some blowout sale at www.bestbuy.com.

Can't seem to find it easily right now... but the step down one at Crutchfield, the 6400BT unit is 139$ ....... Mine came with wireless remote and nice microphone I mounted in the pillar for the bluetooth phone... LOVE having that, comes in handy ALL THE TIME! Not sure on this one, but you'll find one... I'm sure Kenwood makes a decent comparable version of the 7300BT... but I've heard they've slipped a bit. My pioneers just GO AND GO for years without drama!

This one looks simple, low priced... no BTooth but has usb and mp3 ports..... Not sure if it has sub and 4 preouts like mine... But they HAVE to have a sale this week on something, ya know? The money you save you could slap some NICER 4" ers in the dash!
