wow! beautiful!

 

Great pic J! Wheres that at? Somewhere down by you I'd guess. I havnt really wheeled anywhere more than the BV area, but I would like to get down that way to do some for sure. Check out some new trails.

 

im new on here so i figured i would post my 85 up. i have had this one for about 3 months and come a long way with it but not close to being done.

the before pic when i first got it.

the before paint

and here it is now 3in lift, beadlocks, 35in km2s, trailgear bumper and paint.

 

i like the new paint welcome to yota tech

 

that is Mt Baldy Z. its fairly easy off old stage road behind the broadmoor hotel

 

the 84, 85 crew are very few ....... nice

 

very nice , I have a 85 4runner same color same stripes. rare man I have yet to see one of yours or 4runner with white and those stripes in the 310 area code or any where that I have been

 

Nice! Easy is ok with me. We ought to get together and wheel sometime (soon as I get the beastie runnin again that is).

 

Nuttin' special - this is my '84 right after I bought it back in '06. Drove it as my daily driver for about a year and a half then the engine died. Just now getting around to re-doing it.

Engine is all re-machined and I'm working on reassembly and installation. Goal is to have it running by second week in June. Pretty much a stock rebuild with a 260 cam and Thorly header. Had a 2-1/4" exhaust with high flow cat installed right after I bought the truck 'cause it wouldn't pass emissions. It's no longer subject to emissions testing here in WA...

Also have a ported 20R head with oversized valves waiting in the wings. Need to get a Weber carb to use it.

After the engine goes in, next thing that needs addressing is the suspension. Shocks are shot, springs are sagging. Planning to go with OME springs. Also going to replace the wheels. Someone drove quite a ways with the lugs loose on one of them and the seats are all wallowed out. Needs tires, too. Those are only 30x9.5 and are almost bald. Want to go with 32s or maybe some 265/75-16s if I find a good deal on used factory wheels from a later model. After that hopefully I can find the funds to swap gears to 4.56s and put a locker in.

Also, bed is starting to rust, got a couple holes in it on passenger side now but I found a rust-free replacement on Craigslist a couple weeks ago only it's blue. Guess I'll be taking it to Maaco...

you got my vote for best yota pic EVER.

 

That's a sweet truck! It's got that low center of gravity, but huge tires. I love it!
