so i took my starter to be rebuilt and they said there wasnt anything wrong with the damn thing... no i dunno whats wrong with it, maybe a starter relay?

 

OOOH, a Yard "bull", eh? HAVE HUGE respect for the risk you take every day, bud Stay safe out there(as much as that's possible, I know).

Starter relay IS, on occasion, an issue for some. You know where it is, right? (Hint, ....it's right next to the charcoal canister/on the pass. side inner fenderwell. Give'r'a'test! )

 

As far as a flat bed what are you looking for? Wood, metal, or wood and metal?

I built a wood bed for mine. Honestly it is going to be level since the mounting points are level.

Here are a couple pics from my build.

 

thanks, ill keep safe for sure, wow i dont think if ever seen a complete wooden bed thats sweet! im a big metal guy i like working with it so its more like a fun project and a excuse, im off today so ill be working on the yota ill have new pics soon

 

i put my starter back on today, and it did the same "click" thing it has, but this time i held the key on and it turned over and started... so... weird anyways i finished my front skid plate and fabricated some better sleeves for the bolts on the bottom... here are alot of pics......... the first is what they were, way to small, had nuts on them and had a brass sleeve..... [IMG] i bought some bolts that fit and some pipe with washers for a tighter fit

i had to take off the skid plate for the steering stabilizer and what not, and went ahead and cleaned it up and added something to the front...

 

that is one of the best looking skid plates I have ever seen. almost want to do something like that myself. but wont. Don't give up on her. I drove one home on 3 cylinders. launched a rod and she still got me home about 1.5 miles. All though wouldn't start the next morning. I will see if i can get some pics scanned and uploaded. actually taken on a film camera and I still use it.

 

Hell do it to your skid plate man i dont care being Copy catted is the best form of a compliment! so all its been doing is raining in oklahoma, and i have the toyota pretty much running sound besides street legal stuff, one thing i need for sure is tires... anyways me and the boys took it out and tried it out

 

happy dogs and a yota life is ok
