Like I Need Another Project...

toylocost · 01-17-2009, 06:06 PM

Well today I drug home another one. It's a 1990 4runner with a BHG. Power everything, cruiser coils, BJ spacers, sony HU, CB/PA. And it needs a starter badly.

Me and a freind went down in his Dodge to pick it up...

Some guy was tailgating us all the way home...

And after 6 hours of driving we're home...

Really, I don't know. But it feels more like spray on than roll on to me.

EDIT: Oh, yes it is bedliner

toyospearo · 01-17-2009, 06:23 PM

Nice man, Nice!!

yoder519 · 01-17-2009, 06:23 PM

well whatever it is.. it looks good. i went to get a quote on rhino lining all the way around the bottom of mine. $550.00. so i said forget that.im reminded of a quote from a wise man "saying you dont need another yota is like wiping before you poop.. it just dont make sense." and that wise man is me my friend.

Haha that is true.

From the looks of the bumpers looks like the PO couldn't parallel park.

Nice truck. 3.4 Swap.

lol. Yeah I dont know what happened there.

3.4 yeah yeah yeah. But it costs 3 times as much as doin the head gasket. (though it would save me from a chance of having to do the headgasket again)

The Bridgestone Desert Dueler was OEM on many of the tiyotas in the 80s and very early 90s

toylocost · 01-18-2009, 05:14 PM

Hmmmm. It could be. Its still in pretty good condition from being on the back of the truck and in the sun all the time.

wow, OEM?? it did have a cover on it for most of the time I had it. a boat hitch put an attractive rip in it...

toylocost · 01-18-2009, 10:28 PM

Id like to get another cover or locking lugs. I am ultra paranoid about theft.

borz170 · 02-24-2009, 10:52 AM

I like the project, the truck seems to be in great shape.

I have done the head gasket job once on my '94 SR5. I will only do it once. If the head gasket ever goes out, I will do the engine swap to the 3.4.

I decided to put a bunch of money into my truck rather than replace it. I figure I will have around $2500 in it after doing the paint/body work, replacing both front cv axles, new tires, new brakes and a front pinion seal. I may have to do a valve cover gasket/cam shaft seal job due to an oil leak that is about 1 qt per 3000 miles.

toylocost · 02-24-2009, 01:39 PM

Yeah I think I will just fix the head gasket and when something else happens I'll go 3.4

1 qt per 3000mi? pffft. Thats nothin. My Camry needs a quart every gas tank. (But thats burning not leaking)
