Wow looks awesome...the first gens look soooo tight...
Got it painted yet??

 

I have not painted it yet... I did a little sanding last night and I plan on painting soon. School and work keep me tied up most of the time. I have one more week of class, and then a week of finals, so check back soon and it should be done within the next few weeks.

 

Okay, I've got some good updates, it's just i've been at work way toooooooo much and I'm lazy. I'm on vaction starting sometime next week and then I will be able to show off my new goodies.

 

Y'all wont believe it... I finally got some pictures for the people who don't like reading.


First off the passenger side fender, marking light smoothed out and cut front bumper area. It's just stuck on there for right now,



Then the driver side same as other.



Right now the hood is getting it's loving.



I bought a Weber 34/34 about a month ago and installed it.



Then I scored a free flowmaster from my buddy.



And today the UPS man was good to me and brought me this. ENGNBLDR 261* crawler.



Also I installed a tach, but my computer is being stupid so I can't upload the pic. Hopefully this week it WILL BE PAINTED, if the weather is right; it's stormed here just about everyday for the last two weeks.

 

Nice progress! I'm interested to see how the painting turns out. I've got to do that at some point.

 

Here it sits today

 

So have you installed the cam? I'm curious how much difference it'll make. My 82 is coming along much the same. It's got 4.56 gears, 3" lift, 34/34 Weber and a header. The cam is too cheap not to buy. I like the Weber. It needs a little more tuning, but once the truck warms up, it runs nice. I think mine has had the thermostat removed because the temp gauge hadly moves. The truck never did run very warm (maybe 15% of the gauge range)

 

Alright I have been putting my toyota off for too long, hunting season is gonna be here in less than a month so I got to have it going. I have called every one and their brother around here about getting the machine work done to install the cam bearings for LC engineering but no luck. So I am ordering a new head and cam off of ebay so I can put it back together and drive the wheels off of it. So hopefully in the next couple of weeks I will finally have a real update with some videos.

 

ping, its been a couple months give us some more updates!

 

I just picked up a engine so that will be going in during spring break in two weeks! look for it
