no its not a bent frame the back of the cab is at stock height the front is still got the body lift on it cause when i romoved it the fire wall was binding against my sterring rod only a quick fix its not permanent and the back of the bed is sitting on the bumper mounts. and as for the mirror i cant find any parts for my truck or i would put stock ones on, those are off of a honda cbr motorcycle they were there when i bought it

 

just some pics

 

I got some generic "Import Truck" mirrors from napa, they were like $20 each, mounted in the stock location, and didn't look dumb like the gigantic trucker mirrors or like they were too small to see out of em. they work decent, adjustment is easy without being floppy, and they survive on the trail for me.

 

In the tillamook forest yesterday

 

Just giving you a hard time. Go on ebay and you can find the stock mirrors all day long. Good luck with your truck.

 

Needed to pick up a second vehicle to serve as a daily driver for a little while and I found this on the side of the road - 1983 auto 2wd with 106k miles. Vin traces back to an SR5 but still working to confirm that. I'm not terribly familiar with these old trucks but I have been learning very quickly! Everything looks to me to be original and it's quite clean considering its age. No rust on frame, just some bubbles above the rear bumper/tailgate. It does run a little rough at idle, but smooths out once it has gas. The previous owner stated that there is low compression in the #3 cylinder, making it shake almost like a diesel. I am going to work to confirm this and have definitely confirmed the shaking.... Oil is clean and it doesn't smoke so I'm somewhat encouraged by it so far. This was a Washington State truck that is now living in Michigan. Feel free to ask any more questions you may have and I'll try to answer if I can!

 

Well my buddy is in New Zealand right now, he sent me these pictures and managed to talk to the owner. Besides the stacks and 90s chromed bumper it is just darn cool. Turbo Diesel mmmmmmmm

 

Man that thing is Sweeeet! I actually like the stacks, and that rollbar is killer! Wonder what kind oof-road lights those are?

 

Look to me that they all say lightforce, I imagine they are halogens though. Hope he has an alternator upgrade haha.

 

you must have a clearer moniter than me to be able to read that lol. if he don't have an alt. upgrade i feel sorry for his truck, my cheepo offroads, and radio put a major draw on the factory alt. and battery of yeehaw!

 

man i want 4 doors!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

My toyota 1980 with a total of 12 inch of lift with 36'' swamper




And there sitting with 40''

 

I just got this awsome flatbed.
My only question is the engine. Of the stuff i been reading this engine is a japanese version.
Might be wrong. Anyone?

 

On its way home

 

nice rig red!!!!

 

I think the '99-'02 wheels go quite well with the 1st gen trucks!

well guys got my truck back from the shop its taken a month for them to put a timing chain on it and then they still couldnt get it started so i bought a new distributor, then they had to re-time it and during the process they stripped out the sparkplug hole in the number one cylinder. so i bought some helicoils and fixed that problem. now its gotta go back because its pouring oil out from behind one of the pulleys that they had to remove to change the timing chain all i know is im never taking my truck back to those guys.

 

i just put a head on my 22r,i forgot the bolt thats hidden by the timming tab,behind the harmonic ballencer....so i have an oil leak that get sprayed by the belts and fan.

crawl under the truck and see if that bolt is missing or loose!

ill get you a pic


see the missing bolt behind the top of the pully!
i feel like an idiot....but i caught myself before startup....but ran it anyway.
you on the otherhand ....paid a few idiots....lol.
i have my ac system off,so i can eaisly see the pully.....if you have a ac compressor....good luck seeing back there.
to install the bolt,the harmonic ballencer needs to be removed to install it.

this may not be your problem,but that 1 bolt is a good place to start



from my point ov view....cant see the bolt.
