very clean! not a huge fan of drop bracket lifts personally but that's one nice truck.

 

. . . .

 

I think you scored! Love the simple look of that truck

 

It's hard to buy anything that runs and drives for $1700 especially a solid Toyota pickup! I think you made out just fine!

 

 

Here my new Toyota, 85 runner with 89 pickup body. Bobbed from and back of bed and running 37s

 

My truck loves the beach


31’s are good, but 33’s will be better

Greetings from Austin!!

1984 Barn Find in Tx. plan to stick Dana 60s and dual transfer cases and make it for off road use only.

I know nothing about Toyotas but so far its been alot of fun because of this awesome forum with great information.

props to all the people working these great Trucks!

 

 

Was finally able to get some decent shots of the truck this weekend. Time to share
My 1989 3VZE 4x4 5-spd Manual, only 121k mi on it
Lucked out on this find, only had 2 previous owners. Original owner was the priest at the 2nd owners church who had it for about 20yrs. The 2nd owner bought it as a farm truck and project truck to teach his son how to wrench.
His son decided he wanted a WRX instead of the truck when he turned 16 (his loss, my gain), so it sat in their barn for about 10yrs with some occasional use around the farm before I bought it back in July

 

New to me 1993 Toyota DLX with 123,000 original miles on it!

 

Freshly washed!!! Her good side!!!😂

 

Up graded my towrig. Toyota towing Toyota now!

 

and mini smurf

 

Newb here. I guess. To Toyota crawlers anyway. Not to crawlers and definitely not to building custom vehicles.

TRASH PANDA: I picked up this '89 several months ago and have been building the chassis/cage/storage since then, off and on. First photo is how it sits as of today. I just painted the cage this past weekend. Need to to finish modifying the F150 fuel tank, deal with rear shock mounts, bump stops, re-plumb the brakes to eliminate the lever actuator garbage and it will just about be time for reassembly and destroying the whole thing.




Sunk a bed toolbox between the rails for storage.




When the cage was in process.




First time I rolled it outside after everything was tacked together.




Front down-tubes go through the fenders, because I'm not a huge fan of exo-cages. So less (visually) is better.




Finishing up before paint. The tubes to the cab go to the shoulder belt harness inside.




First coat of rust encapsulator. Before the black UV coat went on that is in the first photo.




Goofy hood art, because I can't leave ˟˟˟˟ alone.






What I started with. The exo-cage and bumpers were pretty ˟˟˟˟ty fab-wise and design-wise, so they had to go.




I'm here to learn from you guys how to keep this thing going and going and crawling at its best. Thanks in advance for your help.

Turned the crawler into a crane over the weekend

 

Very clean! What are you using for a front lift and what tire size are you running?
