that's unfortunate...to each there own I guess..

 

Hey guy Im new to the Forum just picked up my first Toya i heard the axles are hard to blow up so i picked one up for cheap, her nick name is the Dirty Dawg, has a 20r motor five speed and 38s that are a little worn but still hold air. and yes it has a 1995 ranger box on it the past owner put it on to carry his kinds in it on a couch. either way here you go

 

lmao ^^that is awesome!

 

that is too funny!!!! loving that snorkel; I also heard the 20 r engines had a better head setup than the 22 r/e 's did, so hopefully she's got another 200k miles on her yet...

 

new look for my 83.

Nice truck...how many miles?..I like the stock look better..

 

thanks, got about 150,000.

 

i like the new look

 

Im in the process of taking mine back down too but Im limited since I have highsteer... gonna raise my motor about 1" and shorten my shackle to lower the front ( and put in stock rear springs to fix the rear and after that I should be close to stock if not .5-1" of lift

...to 671- you may wanna replace the wheel lock , with a brake lock, same kind a stick, but goes under the brake bar, and wedges upwards. Lets see someone cut that very easy!!!!!

 

Newbie checking in.. I guess I'll post up some pics of the beast my gf and I got... Its an ugly beast... I think after getting stuck with a broken steering arm the trucks new name is the "blue bastered"

Small block chevy in it, turbo 350 trans with adpter to fit the stock toyota t-case, stock toyota axles, body lift, 35" tires... dual rads, dual batteries .. I don't know a whole lot about the truck we picked it up as a project.. So far I rebuilt the transmission, changed all the fluids, put a new trans cooler on it, redid all the battery cables.. built a new battery tray on the pass side.. the old one was rotten and the battery was ready to fall threw... lots more work to do.. hopefully I'll get some pics up from todays first wheeling adventure..

 

^^ the only thing ugly about it is the cluster of steel on the front end

 

looks like he is ready for the zombie apocolipse lol

 

671, sweet ride chelu', keep her covered, or the island snow will rust it away, esta..........

 

Something out of Mad Max!!....For those who remember...

 

This truck is straight out of mad max/red neck hillbilly vill.. The upper light bar has Road Warrior welded into it... The rear bumper has Clearcut Clayquote and Green piece welded into it...

 

Some pics of the blue bastered out wheelin on her first voyage...











Broken! Let the beers flow now!

 

was that a broken steer arm or pitman? I have a stock steer arm for you but shipping costs to CA is a mother!

 

I have been out of Toyota's for a year and a half or so. After a month or so of driving past this '82 with a for sale sign on my way to work, I got the bug again and brought it home. It has been sitting for about 5 years as far as I can tell. Runs OK but needs a carb bad. I'm starting to go through it to get it to Daily Driver level now, will probably start building it up a little more after that. The bed is a goner and the frame has a couple of patches and soft spots to deal with. Its got about 230k miles on it.
