OMG turn1andburn1 that is my EXACT dream truck right there thats EXACTLY how im building mine, except im doing mine OD green and stock toyota steelies but other than that its the same.

 

very sweet truck, just might want to make sure that verify that it is a T-G long slip in the back:
"This product is a heavy duty replacement part and is not recommended for applications requiring a balanced driveshaft. Not recommended for use on the street or speeds over 50mph.

**This driveline can not be balanced."

just hate to see you eat pinion seals...enjoy the new truck

 

Thats right, i remeber coming across that when planing to built my 4runner. I just talked to the PO and they are TG, he also said he had the rear shaft balanced?? I drove it home 2 1/2 hours at about 60mph. I never noticed any bad vibs from it. Its says you cant balance it, but he says its been balanced??

 

cool...as long as it works
I want your tires

 

Outfitted for work


A little playing around at work.

 

and your work is what?

 

I work in the oil and gas fields, operating well sites and gas compressor's. So i carry lots of tools, SCBA air pack, big fire extinguisher and other . I wont be using the truck all the time just when the roads turn to mud bogs in the spring, and if we get big dumps of snow. My 07 Tundra is my primary truck.

 

...Cool! I need your job.... more outsidey and drivey...

 

very nice

 

update on my 81

 

THAT is a sweet truck!!! VERY NICE!

 

Nice 4x4yota. Those are still my favorite Toyota rims..

 

I just bought this last night. Only drivin 3 times in past 2 years. To get it home I had to clean the corrosion off the fuse block, and put in a head light, and hard wire the electric fuel pump. Don't laugh too hard, I'm going to the junkyard today... Only got pulled over once from Snohomish to Fife WA. He asked 1,200, and I paid 800.

 

I had thought that the oil and gas work in the US (Primarily the west) was pretty dead. I have 3 friends in that industry, 1 is a roughneck, 1 a design engineer for equipment and the 3rd sets up sites and none of them have jobs right now... they are on indefinite furlough....

 

That thing doesn't look bad at all smallenginemechanic.

 

Thanks 83, just spent $150 at junkyard for front assm and rear lights and allot of misc.... I'm going to pull apart for the expensive stuff...

 

... smallengingmech.... you've ah... oh lessay... you got a bit of work to do there, especially on that inside.
I would love it, if you took pics as you added stuff, just to see the changes. and I don't mean just cool 4 wheel stuff, but regular stock stuff, especially on the inside.
