my NEW FREE toy

INFINITY · 06-16-2008, 09:23 PM

well after going out to a new found fishing hole, my friend and i were headed home and he told me this one guy (who's house we were driving by) used to have a toyota just sitting out in font and it never moved. so we go a little farther and see it but it is in the back of his place. so we back up and go talk to him and he said the motor was blown (his son didn't pay much attention to things like OIL) but he put in a "newer" engine but it leaked water. so we walk around and look at it. it is a red x-tra cab 4x4 straight axle and has the 22re in it. so we beat around and talk about this and that and he says just come and pick it up and it is yours. so we are going to get it at 4:30 tomorrow.
SCORE

his place needs some work so we are going to do some work for him so he gets something out of it as well.
will post pict of "how it sat" and others then. i am freaking stoked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SFA...22re...I think that makes it an 85....right? or is that not the original engine?

20twinz · 06-17-2008, 05:52 PM

Sounds like my find only instead of a bad motor I got a bad cab.

GA Yota Man · 06-17-2008, 08:35 PM

Awesome find! Thought I got a steal for $1100 on my 85 SR5 4x4 (22re), but you can't beat free

Keep us updated on any pictures or updates

*frozen motor (one in truck)
*frozen extra motor

besides the engine it needs

PICTS!!!!!

looks great! subscribed!

ephwang · 06-18-2008, 04:25 PM

Congrats! I have the same truck, but with a black rollbar. Got it from a friend for $500 because his wife told him to get rid of it.

yotasavg · 06-18-2008, 04:32 PM

sweet so now i know who to ask for help

hmmwv15 · 06-18-2008, 06:20 PM

you lucky sumbitch. Awesome find, I tried scoring a little blue 2wd long bed that was faded and had grass growing up through the bed and cab. Was very polite to the guy and asked him if I could take care of the truck for him or how much he wanted for it and he hatefully said it's not for sale and slammed the door in my face. He moves it around every now and then... Good find and hope that you get that thing wheelable. It's a free truck so chop, bob, dovetail the hell out of it and make it your trail rig!

zlathim · 06-18-2008, 09:47 PM

You guys scored big time! It's cool that you are going to do some work around the donor's place to show some appreciation. I think that will make him pretty happy- he gets rid of an eyesore (to him anyway), and gets some free labor!

sleepy970 · 06-19-2008, 01:04 AM

That truck looks 10x better after the wax. Wish I could find that good of a steal. Cant wait to see it once its done.

20twinz · 06-19-2008, 06:25 AM

That truck looks very good! nice find!

bigtrucknwheels · 06-19-2008, 06:53 AM

awesome find! what are you doing for rims and tires? It looks like those are AR outlaw II chrome plated steel. I need one or two... if they are steel and chrome, and 15", I am def. interested if you would wanna sell them...

INFINITY · 06-19-2008, 07:01 AM

dont know what brand but they are alum wheels and we are going to put 235/75/15s on there opposed to the 31/10.5s that are on there now. that will get up close to stock(225-75-15) tire size for gearing/millage reasons.

thanks for all of the input.
