-My New Truck- 1994 Toyota Pickup

4x4countrygirl · 01-29-2007, 11:42 AM

So, I traveled to Michigan to get a Toyota Pickup... I guess that would be because of the influence of Yotatech and my boyfriend.

It's my first truck but I have a lot of ideas as to what I would like to do with it. I've been working with my boyfriend (chapman88sr5) for the last year on his 88 4-Runner, so I've already learned a thing or two...

1994 Toyota Pickup
22re Engine
4x4
5 Speed
Soon to have...
31x10.5 Maxxis Big Horn M/T's & 15" Black Powder-Coated Rock Crawler rims

The Before...

However...
So far we have herculined the front bumper, painted the grille and the back bumper black, got a tune up that included wires, plugs, cap and rotor and pcv with a sea foam treatment. I want to get rid of all the chrome on it... so we're almost there already! It's in the shop right now and will post pics with the black later.

Michigan, huh? Be sure to check the inside of the frame near the gas tank for rust.

Nice truck!

4x4countrygirl · 01-30-2007, 03:24 PM

Finally, here are the pics of after we herculined the front bumper and painted the grille black along with the back bumper black.

Chapman88SR5 · 01-30-2007, 03:55 PM

Mmmmm now that is a nice lookin truck! cant wait till we get those rims and tires.

norcalsvx · 01-30-2007, 04:03 PM

nice truck

yotasavg · 01-30-2007, 05:02 PM

how much sanding did it take to get the hurculiner to stick on the crome? i've been contemplating getting rid of mine to...are you going to paint the door handles?

sweet stripes! i'm a little gelous...

4x4countrygirl · 01-30-2007, 06:27 PM

Well, I can't say we did too much sanding. We did get as much as we could off and then cleaned it really good with xylol. It seemed to go on just fine, now the question is as to whether it will last. I would like the door handles to be black but those are a little trickier... let me know if you figure out a way to get 'em black and stay that way! Ha.

signalmtnyota · 01-30-2007, 06:50 PM

i hurculined my truck back in august. did the bottom rocker panels, front chrome bumper and grill. I sanded the body and used the acetone to clean it. For the bumper and grill i did a quick coat of black rustoleum and then hurculined that with no sanding. Still looks good today.

Well, it looks like we have some similar plans... Once it gets warmer I want to hurculine the rocker panels and around the bottom of my truck (we did the same to my bf's runner this last summer and it looked awesome). I would like a suspension lift in the future (i'm thinkin' with some graduation money-ha). But as for now, I have some 31" m/t's that should be on it by next week. However, I'm still lookin' for some black rims... the ones on mine are nasty. But you definitely have one sweet truck... I'm a bit jealous, but I'm hopin' not to be for long...

signalmtnyota · 01-31-2007, 07:03 AM

one little side thing you might want to do...
on mine the turn signals in the bumper were cracked and finally got knocked out in the woods from behind. I've since moved them up to the running light housings by drilling a small second hole. It makes it easier to put a bumper on the front too (I'm building one out of some scrap next week). I dunno if you'll be interested buy I've got a set of 33" x-terrains on black steel wheels that I need to get rid of. They have less than 10,000 miles on them. I only drove them from Tennessee to Auburn AL about 5 times. (250 miles trip) I'm looking at trying to get 500-600 for them. Only had them for 6 months, and most of that time they've been sitting in a parking lot here at auburn. PM me if your interested (I'm in no rush to sell).

4x4countrygirl · 03-26-2007, 04:12 PM

Just a little update... did some mods to the truck and it's lookin' MUCH better in my opinion.

-31x10.5 Maxxis Bighorn Mud Terrains
-15x8 Black Rock Crawler Wheels
-Herculiner on entire bed, around the bottom of the body, grille, and bumpers (Can you tell I like that stuff?)
-Black Herculined Kobalt toolbox

It was quite a fun process cutting off all of the rust and replacing the areas with fiberglass...

Chapman88SR5 · 03-26-2007, 04:13 PM

That thing is almost as hot as the one who drive it =)
