New to the site

Hello to all the Yota Owners. New to the site and thought I would share a few pics with yall. Bought this truck last year for the deer lease I am on. It's a 1980 2" body and 3" suspension. The engine is a 3.8L Turbo Grand National out of a 1987, LOL (Tight fit) Onboard Air lockers etc. The pic has 31's kelly safari tires but went to 33's remington mud brutes. Take care yall

Robeline, Louisiana is where I live but work in the sandbox. Looking at upgrading to Donahoe Racing Coilover shocks and their Plush ride springs. Does anyone know if the ARB sells a bumper with hide away winch mountfor this truck. Hey 1985 4Runner were did you get your seats. My driver seat is electric and the motor if locked up and looking at getting new ones. Thanks

Gorgeous rig! That motor looks right at home in your Toy! More people here will probably be looking into that swap after seeing your rig. Be prepared for the flood of q's.

Yeah, it's definately a cool swap. I don't think I'd be going for it though. I'd much rather a sweet diesel swap for the torquey goodness that is all things diesel. If you were running dunes or bogging then it's the ticket!! nice find
