Hi, I've been a member for a bit and just been lurking and gaining as much knowledge as possible. I have a first gen, 1981 SR5 4x4. I've had it for about three years have not really done a thing to it. It's got 129,999 on the odometer and has been stuck there ever since I got it so idk how many miles are really on it. It does have a rebuilt motor that I have all the paper work on and a weber carb and pacesetter header from the PO, all the rest is stock.

I know I know, where are the pics right? I will have some up hopefully tomorrow.

Now I am wondering where I could possible find replacement lenses for the front turn signals, the clear corners on the bezel and sidemarkers on the truck. I have looked on eBay and that's about the most luck I've had so any help would be appreciated.

 

It's still a bit dark out for pics so waiting on that...meanwhile I was waiting for work this morning and I was looking around in the glove box at paperwork and the PO has all the receipts for the rebuilt 22R, it is all from spring 2005. Will be getting pics up of those as well...either way hopefully a future build will be on the way. Rust isn't too bad at all, from what I've inspected just surface rust and two rot thru spots in the cab floor...where most rot typically starts.

As for build, I am aiming to keep it towards a DD with off road use as well...more like some trail and hunting and fishing...not gonna go for a full blown trial or climbing rig.

Here some pics of my rig:

 

I will get more pics up later, had to get the kiddos

 

 

Posted a couple more pics, showed some of the surface rust on roof and maybe other pics can show...overall my little beast keeps me happy and fun to drive!

 

Crap, pics didn't work...fixed it

 

Nice ride, I am loving the sunroof!

 

I like your truck. Would like one for a DD. Welcome to YT.

 

Thanks guys! I enjoy this as my DD but I will say I've got plenty ideas and plans for it but...got two little girls and another on the way so yeah...in time it will happen

 

Well congrats on the family I have three daughters the youngest being 16 months. Where at in WA are you. Their calling for snow here tomorrow

 

Thanks man! My girls are gonna be 7, 2 and newborn on the way. I live in granger, wa it's just south of Yakima. And yes I heard snow for this weekend here as well but doesn't look like it. Where you from

 

Born Charlotte, NC then an Army brat so many places, now I'm on Fort Lewis. Guess like father like son. My girls are 12yo, 10yo, and well 16 month, oops

 

hey i got a buddy on Fort Lewis, Dexter Cole! lol
not a chance you know him though lmao

 

Can't say I do, lot of people here. Is he a Yota guy? or wheeler? always looking for good guys to go out with when job allows it.

 

lenses are still avaliable @ the dealer ..

Those first gens are hard to find down here. When you do, nobody sells them. The one when you do find are in really bad shape. That one just looks like a little cosmetics. Good find.

 

Thanks for the help, I will go to the local yota dealer and check some pricing...eBay might be a bit better on the pocketbook.

Muddpigg...the "oops" had me lol. It happens man but bet you wouldn't change a thing.

Anyone know how much lift OME springs would add and what duty should I look into since it DD and some trail and haul elk or deer outta the mountains from time to time.
