x2 on the 08 450 yz, thats what i ride moto with.

i think parted out it would be worth more than five bills. just sayin...

don't let a good yota go to waste.

 

If i decide not to.ill set u up

 

Yfz 450 is quad. You have yz450f..

 

But we both are yamadogs..lol

 

As has been said, I think 500 is fair for a factory straight axle, especially if the frame aint rotten, I bought mine for a grand as it sits now, and it had frame issues but had just been welded up. Spots to watch out for, and I believe mines almost as worst as it gets before it breaks in half, are: under the doors, itll get a small hole and work its self into a total split all the way around (mines like that now), on the back half where the frame curves up, where the shackle brackets are, itll start cracking there, thats where the most damage happens, because of the flex and stress on that part, it will cave in, from the arch all the way back to the tube that goes across, up front i havent seen any rust out, due to most high mileage yoters leaking oil... also in the back where the spare tire hangs, the tubes that go across rust out, but im not sure how much support those offer anyway. I think thats it, i cant think of anything else im fixing on mine lol. But also as said previously, in florida you cant touch a straight axle toyota for less than 1500 running, 800 non running, people run hunting dogs down here, and the toyotas and nissans are highly popular for that, they are the only ones that fit down a pine row, and nissan doesnt have a straight axle so...

 

$500 for an 85 xtra cab in Florida is a great deal, I just paid $3000 for mine a few months ago, but its in great shape... just some body cancer. If you don't get it, post the info.

Edit: OliveYoter is right about the dog hunters, me or any of my hunting buddies would scoop that truck up in a second to use as a hunting truck.

 

I traded an xbox360+games+1.yr xboxlive+300$... im a businessman .

 

I knew there was a way to not pay 500., just gotta find a weakness.and it is xbox that i never play.so i didnt care.im picking it up sun on my buds trailer.
How hard would it be to make this an efi...

 

anyone done a 3rz swap. im thinking of goin that route now, its about the same price wise as doing a complete engine rebuild, but i think id be happier with that. what all do i need, engine,mounts, wiring, and oil pan with a different bellhousing...

 

would i need a new gas tank and fuel pump too

 

That's not a bad idea. You should look into what all that involves, and let us know. I might be interested in doing something like that. I can't say it's even possible, but I guess it's worth a shot.

 

rokblok, doesn't your siggy show a 3RZ in your 84 xtra cab already?

 

Hmmm.... maybe...?

 

I've also been thinking about this swap. Lots of good reading here!

propane?

The EFI became an option in 4x4 in 85 and in the 2x4 in 87. I'm not sure when they totally ditched the carb though.
