RedRunner_87's 88 Toyota Build

RedRunner_87 · 02-25-2009, 10:49 AM

I just picked up the new to me 1988 Toyota P/U 4x4 Extra Cab. The body on it isnt very pretty but it is a truck and thats what I am going to use it for. I bought this truck to be my snow/trail/camping truck. It needs a little bit of work to get there.

My plans for this summer

Water Pump
Alignment
31" BFG M/T KM2's
Bilstien Front and Rear Shocks
A Cheap Paint Job

If you have any opinions or advice on the build up PM me and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

Here she is when I bought her.

Took of the bumper ends since they were broken and flapped on the freeway. Spray-painted the wiper arms since they were bare and rusted

Got bored today so I tried to find something to try out some IFS flex on. I'm going to try to post up my updated list and ask for advice tomorrow when I get out of class.

Ok here is my list for my goals this year for my truck. Im going to start at the beginning of summer so this is kinda premature. The first thing that needs to be done is obviously the maintenance issues first. The alignment on it is so messed up the front tires are done for. So I need new tires all the way around, the water pump is leaking like crazy and the CE light is on because of the 02 Sensor. The rear shocks are shot on it and the fronts look like they have seen better days. Other than that the truck runs great. My roommate wants to try painting cars so he is going to do that for me, as I don't really care how well the paint is. After that I don't know if I want to get the offroad stuff done or the performance.

Maintenance:

Water Pump
02 Sensor
T-Stat
Alignment

Off-Road

Addicted Offroad Rear Bumper
Addicted Offroad Front Bumper
Addicted Offroad Sliders

Exhaust

KNN FIPK
LC Engineering Header
Flowmaster 40 Series Muffler
Magnaflow Cat

My Spring Break project is to sand and primer all the surface rust spots. My roommate wants to paint it in April or May. So this will be a prep job till then. Im also going to paint the bottom half and the front bumper black with Rust-Oleum matted finish.

A little bit of an update. Found out the whole steering on it is all messed up. So Im rebuilding that, all new tie-rods, pit man arm, idler arm, and ball joints. Going to install a ball joint spacer lift and get new shocks on it. After that going to go with 33x10.50 BFG M/T KM2's and 5.29 Gears and an Aussie locker.
