PICS

 

got some work done put my new tires and wheels on and I have to say I like the white on white

 

but your 81 is so beautiful. why a trail rig?

 

nice! man that thing would make a killer trail rig. a good dd too my dd is an 84 4wd as well.
anyways good deal cant wait to see yer progress

 

cuz the 81 is already beat up a lil and 1st gens just look so awesome beefed up but not over kill I still wanna DD both trucks but the 84 will be my main DD

 

got the front lift off and stock springs under it no just need the pull the pos blocks out from under the rear and Ill be done with suspension on the 84

 

Nice rig, little beat up but dont look abused so should make a good DD. good luck!

 

ok so Im having chargeing problems and I want a second opinon... I start the trucks and it runs and idles fine but charges a lil high but when I accelerate or give it gas the charge goes up (like the tach does) and goes back down when I let off... I was thinking alternator... I swaped out the IC regulator... checked all my fuses and all are fine but hav not checked the alternator... is there any thing else I can check before going thru the hastle of removing it

 

does any body have pics of their fuse panel under the hood and under the dash I wanna make sure I have the corredt fuses where I need them

 

so the truck is completely stock...

tomorrow I am planning on getting a topper for it and possibly some new interior parts will get up dated pics soon!...

 

ok so nothing went as planned the guys at the auto yard were dumb and wouldnt help me and I didnt want to deal with them so I guess Im going to have to order from the yota yard

 

The voltmeter on my 84 fluctuates with revving... this is pretty common in most vehicles. Idle is at 700-800 RPM, however an alternator does not provide maximum power output until roughly 1400 RPM. THe needle will also dance to your turn signals. Its pretty common.

 

same here ^^

 

yeah I kinda noticed that but everything is working great now so I just assumed it was normal

 

hey XtraSlow_XtraCab Im curious to know set up you have on your truck its a reallly good look

 

so i decided I liked the look of a lift on my 84 instead so I threw my lifted springs on it and a rear shackle and no she sits almost perfectly level... next I want to do high steer and maybe bob the bed to the size of a short bed



I have decided to buid this truck up instead of my 81

 

lol thanks 4x4yota. Its has the usual 2 or 3in Rnacho suspension lift and it HAD the black American Racing rims with 31" offbrand A/T tires. Now she has chrome "saw blades" wrapped in 33x12.5x15 tires (still A/T).

The front basket thing is a Warn winch cradle (winch not pictured). It kinda sticks out too much in my opinion, I might dump it and save the mounting platform for a later project. Here's my most recent pic:
