dang good looking 1st gens!

 

California baby.

 

Just got it today.
1986 extracab
22re

Why is it only the cars with air fresheners seem to stink?

 

My '91 Pickup Standard Cab, 22RE (with a new head gasket, DOA Timing chain kit, timing chain cover, oil pan calking(?), distributor head, plug wires, plugs, new exhaust manifold), 3" lift blocks (came that way), 31" A/t Dayton tires, anonymous gull wing bed box, gator gate, '91 4Runner seats, new cup holders, after market radio, Sony speakers

 

now thats a purdy runner. reminds me of mine lol.

 

rained a bit yesterday so we went out for a lil run.. it was fun! going back on monday, Gah i want some new tires. these slicks really suck. wile we were down there a chev 2500 decided he was gonna go off on a atv trail and rolled it in a ditch. some people lol...







I hate wheeling whit the windows up but there are some consequences you face with them down. its not too bad i just wont be wearing my white shoes while im driving any time soon. And yes thats a Jesus Bobble head on my dash lol

 

 

is that out by Desert Hot Springs by any chance? Looks familiar . . .

 

I know iv been uploading pics like crazy, iv been wheeling every chance i get. My Bald Wrangler RT/S's have gotten me places i would never think they would go, i still need some MTRs tho

 

I bought this thing 93.8% stock in June 2008 and it was a one owner out of Arlington, Texas. No rust can be found except the small amount between the leafs when I added an AAL to the back.

The original owner was awesome at keeping up with this thing. Most of the work appears to have been done at a local Toyota dealership. I paid $2750 for it and found it on ebay. 267,xxx miles on it so I think the kinks are worked out of it. My album listed below has more info and picks.

My main goal right now is to get rock sliders on it so I can take off those silly steps on the side. I almost don't want to mess with it because it's so nice and stock but I keep the stock stuff in the barn so it's always available. I haven't had it off-roading yet unless you count my driveway after it rains. ( I need new gravel.)
This is way it looked the first day I bought it

After a few obvious changes and an AAL kit from 4wheelparts.com.

This is my "yotatech glamour shot":


Much more to spend...I always welcome ideas and suggestions too. I've seen so many awesome trucks here it's hard to focus on doing one thing at a time. You guys have been a great help to me many times even though I just linger around and don't post much.

 

If it were mine I would for sure tear those running boards off. It will look A LOT cleaner and meaner without them. The best part is it's free!!
Great looking truck BTW!!

 

I have posted the truck earlier now for the Runner. Got this gem in the beginning of May.

Before...





Now...



Flexing the mighty IFS with the super duper huge half life 33x12.50!!!



She needs a lot of help but she is getting there slowly.

 

what size lift does this look like? i know there's a 1 inch body lift i think. but how high over all? 33" tires btw

'91 Short Bed Deluxe, 3vze 5 speed, 4x4.

 

I would guess 4". Does it have blocks in the back? measure them.

 

First day home


Right After the 3" BL


Outside at night sitting after the 3" BL, ES 9000's, and a few other things

 

^^ Nice truck!

 

Thanks, Im still working on it here and there. I really want to do a SAS very soon.

 

Check out my traction bar!

Here is a pic I got from a video of me climbing a hill.

And a picture of her resting...

Thanks! And yes it is...No Cat!
