Yep, here ya go..........

It''s on that page... not sure on shipping though...... Maybe get a cam too? hehehe.

BTW.... Like that you're redoing the double roller kit with new.... but I just have to ask.... Are you SURE you want to go with a Rock Oil Pump? Or are you reusing your OEM pump? Checked out to specs? Just saying, man.... that is something I WILL NEVER go other than Aisin, ever again! First Rock pump started to have hard times in the mornings within 2000 miles. YES, the Aisin is 90$ from 22reperformance.... maybe cheaper from toyotapartszone? But I think it's one of the most important parts of an entire build... Honestly, if you're not oiled AS BEST AS POSSIBLE? What difference does it make on how many fancy parts, right? NOT saying Rock Pumps aren't 99% problem free... Just freaked me out that I got one that wasn't, hahaha.

mark thanks a bunch on reminding me of the oil pump, i didnt think of that one, it wasnt leaking and still maintained good oil pressure but new is good anyways, i can get a toyota HG at shop price well because... heyyyy i work at an auto shop, well machine shop, something right? anyways i was going to cam it but, mark, this thing isnt really gong to see anything more then 33s and 4.88 gears for around town useage, so why bother in my eyes, also, with the orginal bearing in the bottom end, with a cam might as well throw on a weber and a header, right? i dont wanna pull it again for a bottom end knock, i have my 86 for now, if the 86 sells and i get what im looking at (1990 dodge cummins with a 5 speed and 4x4) then this will be my playtoy but until then im staying on track, as far as rocker arm assemblies go i got a junk yard one, i wasnt buying an aftermarket one ive heard bad things, the one that was in the truck had alot of play in it, in all the toyotas ive delt with all of the others seem firm, almost like the valves hasnrt been adjusted in quite some time and it slowly wore the springs out, thus i just bought an org part seeming the dealer wanted it plated in gold....... anyways, next pay day im getting the HG and timing set to put the main part of the motor back together, also, what are some advantages of the LCE egr block off plates? any better fuel mpg? or merly a dress up kit? some info on that would be nice, my girlfriends dad has the paint i was going to use to paint my long bed 82, so i think this is going to be grey now with some block steelies shouldnt look too bad, that or maybe blue... like your 83 mark, im really thinking about it, pics tonight

That blue is the SHIZZLE! jUST TO TEASE YA! >>>>





NO CLUE on the EGR block plate..... Would think being in a machine shop you'd have done your own for the cost of a burger compared to 20$ from LCE?(not sure, just guessing that's what they cost, hehehe... "Just say 20$ for something that should be 4$!" that's my theory with them, haha. But nah, they have good stuff, I'm just messin! )

The EGR plates are to block off all the emissions crap so if you have emissions then you might not want to do them. When I desmogged my truck I ended up getting about 21 MPG over the 17 that I was getting. Generally a car "should" run more efficient with the emissions, but efficiency is lost after about 30 years of carbon build up in the emission equipment. If you're looking for something nice looking then I would definitely go with LCE's plates, but if you work at a machine shop then you should be able to knock them out pretty well on your own - just trace the old EGR equipment flanges.

Also, LCE makes water block off plates for the "unnecessary" extra water routing and hoses.

I'll keep the water passages, no pics for awhile, my brothers been watching something he shouldn't causally the computer to crash, now I'm on my phone

OMGOSH, he Porn-Grenaded the puter? I HOPE you razz him good on that one, if that's the case! hahaha.

HURRY UP! lol. Jk, .... just wanting to see this thing getting 'done up', ya know? Especially since you're keeping it... Very stoked for ya.... PICS FROM PHONE would be fine! hahaha.

westjohns yota

I have no way to upload them from my phone mark, and yeah the computers down, gotta figure that one out, put my bumper and cap on the 86, looks great, found some sliders at the scrap yard, my local yard owner cut them off, paid 100 bucks installed

Dang... well, I've been getting blessed pretty well at the yards the last few weeks... So I can't complain.. Would be cool to find a couple things like that(TG or CBI Bumper or Killer soft topper or 4.56 Gears or 4.88 gears or sliders or........... or........... an LS1 that I can have for 500$? hehehehe.

Or a factory 1st gen pickup bed that is in decent shape!

Oh trust me, I know, man... REALLY feel bad for you guys back east on the 'rust factor'.... Just amazing how it can take out rigs.... It's like everyone needs to have a 'DE-SALTER' sprayer that hits the underside of your car AS YOU PULL IN a Climate controlled garage........ Yeah, just not practical for MOST people. hey, Kawi.... look at it this way...... 'If you ever drive to Disneyland, CA, ... you can give me a call and I'll be SURE to have one lined up if possible! .... Again, I know, not practical.

Josh here had me looking for stuff a while back... BUT, just too much for shipping on most of it, I guess. When I see what people are paying for a pristine rust free bed.... HOLY CRAPULA! Almost cost effective to go Fiberglass at this point, ya know? It's not lighter, ...but it DOESN'T RUST! hahaha.

*** JOSH, ... Found 2 gas pedals... but the back things were torn.... They push down but don't really pull the pedal back I guess? Not sure... Could you tell me what part you need, just to be clear? The actual PEDAL? Or the pedal lever/Pivot, ...what? I could grab that one with the broken strap on the back.... But I'm guessing that wouldn't help much. Those(your first gen), the pedal is fixed to the floor, right? (ON the bottom part)... it moves on a pivot? Or was this one just slipped off the spot on the arm? hahaha.... JK

You're totally correct... would be VERY fun, indeed! D for 2400$ with a trans? Wonder what shipping would be.

Very much would love to drop that sweetness in my 87 4Runner! hahaha.

........ Ok, now I officially have "Keep/Sell toyotaticulitus/schizophrenia!" ......... But seriously... Sorry man, I know you wanted to keep it.

westjohns yota

i evern thought of title pawning it but they wouldnt give me what i needed, new owners coming tommorow, really bummed to see it go, but i really dont want to go to school over 3000 in debt, its too much, if the 86 breaks im done for, for my education its just for the best, will def be looking for another one, i did find an 85 4runner for 600 bucks needing a tranny..........

Brudda... , .........it's your life, and not my biz to tell ya what you should or shouldn't do. Only can share what I would do in your situation.

I've been where you're at.. And was there at 28yrs old when putting myself through College in AZ...... First, I made the sacrifice of moving to Phoenix to go to school(rent is HALF what it was here, no parking fees, good schools, .... just couldn't resist 'SAVING SO MUCH!').... And trust me, the sacrifice was pretty decent, considering it was the hottest summer in 25 years, the year I moved there, in June. (118*F at 3AM the first night, moving in ) lol........

Next, I realized that I needed a CHUNK to start off with, as I'd JUST gotten Married, 2 weeks before. So, firstly, I sold my 70 CST Blazer 4spd 4bolt main 350 w/38K miles! ............



Next, I realized I just REALLY needed a lil more capital to get me through the first couple months and pay tuition... So I sold my baby, the 83 SR5 4WD PU, LOADED, with 46K miles..........



Between the 2 of them I got 10K.... Took 1200$(in 1996) and bought an 84 Cressida, loaded, 140K miles. NO PICS, lol.... I have some, but have to scan them to my computer from 35mm prints...........

Anyway, .... You gotta do what you gotta do, Josh... But I, personally, would set my mind to be 'content' with ONE solid vehicle with decent mileage.... Or just keep the 86..... And treat it really well until you graduate, get into the first good job thereafter, and then, after a few months........ Start looking for 'THAT ONE' you've wanted all along. HELL, fly out to CA, I'll have a CHERRY, rust free 'whatever' ready to pick up for ya... We'll take it to Disneyland in a Toyota Caravan style and then head back home in it. OR, just find one there! hahahaha. Sure, maybe you'll get blessed with a great job while in school that'll put you over the top of budget... But even then, PLEASE be careful/frugal, man... Ya know? CRAP HAPPENS, trust me, and ESPECIALLY when you're going 100 hours a week with school and work; I fell asleep at the wheel one night in a 110Hr. week..... and hit the curb, ALMOST the back of a car as well.. Ended up costing me 400$ for a new wheel/alignment and some front end suspension work(GREAT DEAL, too... Can't IMAGINE if they charged me what they could have ..... )

Just, A. Letting you know that you're not alone, B. Your thinking is solid and C. I wish more young people I've met in the last few years put the things up front that SHOULD come first.

KILL IT, HOMIE! STRAIGHT A's! Hey, if I can graduate with a BA in 3 years with a 3.85....while working and supporting my wife, plus 2 kids back home in CA...THEN YOU CAN DO THIS! hahaha.

westjohns yota

mark you sure do provide some encourageing words! thanks a bunch man! it really sucked watching it roll away on the trailer because i know what it could have been, as of now with what i had in saving and what i got from the sell of it i paid everything i needed off, and have 200 bucks in the bank, paydays 600, insur. cell bill paid, everythings on check, need an oil change, and few other parts for thge 86 and its good for awhile, knuckle rebuild, etc etc. right now i think ill get a few pay checks ahead maybe save 1500 bucks and then start looking for something that just needs some tlc, i found an 85 4runner, 22re, pretty rough shape for 900 bucks, i might shoot for that but as of now let the savings begin!
