I'm loving this build. You have some really great mods on there. Plus, the fact that you are doing all the work yourself. Sweet. I bet that saves a lot of money. If you ever travel through the middle of Ohio I have some things on my truck that need your expertise .

looks clean!

Super nice Toyota pickup! I'm from east Texas and alto is right down the road from me.

You, sir, are not playing around. This thing is going to be serious business.

This is one of the best builds I have been looking for. I am actually going to do a pretty similar build with my 84 pickup...that is whenever i get some money to actually start the build..

Thanks guys.

Finally got my duals completly assembled. Just gotta get that heavy bitch installed. I cycled through all of the multiple gear combinations. Seems and feels good. Low/low is going to be a beast.









Good quality parts. Hopefully they work for a long time.
Pulled the truck out to test the rear discs and to get a quick wash job.



Changed out the lights on the fron to som 6 inch LED bars which have a substantially greater output than the others that were on there.



Night Shots





Added some Circa 1985 decor to the garage walls



I added a 3 gauge A pillar pod for a litte bit more reliability in the oil pressure, coolant temp and voltage readings. I need a couple of fittings to Tee the OEM sender in with the mechanical Oil Pressure fitting to have some redundancy.



Also started taping off the bed for my 13.5 in bob that will be starting soon.



I still need to get the duals, Hydro assist and bob completed.

Started putting together a 3RZ parts list too That should be fun but down the road a little. My little 22REC runs pretty good as of right now.

I love this truck so hard. One day when my truck grows up it will be like this.

Driving the red truck to work this week.



Thanks for all the kind words.

Should have some updated goodies soon.

Marlin Crawler Short Throw Shifter on the way along with a PSC 22re performance steering pump kit and 1.5" x 6 assist cylinder

PSC goodies came in today

Got my short throw shifter in.



Got it installed

My rough measurements show about a 1.5 in reduction in throw. From 5.5 to right at 4. The shifter reduced a lot of the slop in the gear pattern and neutral positions. There is one difference I can see from the other installed pics. On my R151 the breather needs to go to the rear and the Marlin lettering goes to the front. Other than that the install went easy.

That PSC kit sure is nice. Im going to be running the same thing when I get my SAS done.

Nice build! How do you like the rear disc conversion?
Thanks-

Boomtacoma01

I really like the rear disc conversion. It definately stops a lot better now. I just need to figure out my parking brake dilema. Im either going to use a line lock or TC mounted pinion brake or both to fix that issue.

exploresystems

Cool, Thanks for the reply! It is too bad there hasn't been more progress on the integrated e-brake inside the rear disc like the FJs and 03 up 4runners have. Golden State Motorsports seems close to having it ready...

Tim Steele

love this truck!

Boomtacoma01

Added some killer green carpet on my dash to cover up all the cracks.



Started another layer of rustloeum sound deadener on the pass side.



Fixed my sticky hand throttle



Added a blingy TEQ oil fill cap



New pump is in. Steering cooler is mocked up. Reservoir is placed where it should fit. I had to cut off one of the mounting points for the stock airbox to make it work. Steering box is off. Old steering stabilizer is removed. The mess is made. Got some royal purple max steer on the way from amazon. Just need to pick up my other box in conroe. I need to figure out the low pressure feed line to the pump. Its tight. Other than that i have to finish it up if i wanna wheel.

I figured out a better mounting idea last night with a piece of 1x1 angle iron that will be mounted to the drivers side shock hoop. This added about 2 inches of clearance that was definitely needed. It will be temporarily mounted with a couple of hose clamps and welded on later. I need to take the edges off of the new bracket and throw some paint on it before install. I am waiting on 2 -10 90's to show up so i can start routing hoses.

I also ripped out all the non working AC bull˟˟˟˟ since it was in the way. I have one hose left that is being a real bitch to get off at the compressor. I am capping off all of the connections under the hood for when I want to tackle the AC re-install if that ever happens.

I started combining/untangling all the random wires and ran them the correct way away from heat sources/moving parts. I added some dielectric grease to every plug around the ignitor, main harness and other engine components.

I got the ram mounts welded to the Ballistic 1.25" tie rod clamp so that can be mocked up as well.

Got the new steering belt on. I went with one that was an inch shorter than the stock length.
