Well I'm starting a build tread for my 2nd toyota ever. It's my pride and joy. Working on making it trail and Toyota Legend Worth.

Got this truck bone stock.

1985 DLX 134k Miles, AC, Heater, ok interior, very little rust to no rust. Dead battery.

Total cost $2200. From Albuquerque, NM.

 

Then came the fuild drop and order the lift kit from Rough Country 3inch.

kept BFG AT the 31x10,5 R15 wheels.

 

 

Good looking truck! Looking forward to seeing the progress!

 

Well bought!!!

 

Thanks everyone.

Completed the bobbed bed 13 inches and recesed the rear bumper. Rock sliders and rear extended/rear rock slider.

 

What up Cruces!? Did you put the Yota through the Chile Challenge a week ago?

 

Sorry no just a spectator. The weekend before busted a knuckle and Power steering hose. Going to rebuild knuckles and convert to Hy-steer soon. Thanks for the view. Hope everyone likes the work so far.

 

You join the local 4 wheeler club? I just bought my 86 few months back and looking to shorten the bed too. Any advice on who, where, how much? I'm a born and raised Cruces local so looking for some locals to wheel with.

 

No clubs just wheel with buddies. They all have different rigs. Chevy, Jeep, Ford, Etc. I'm the only Toyota. Do you know how to weld? It's not that hard. Let me know when you want to wheel I'm down.

 

Nice job on the bob, I did 12 off my 87. Your the only Toyota, that sucks you be doing all the recovery of the Chevys fords and other vehicles...and loving it......lol

 

Out with the old in with the new.




New Engine from 5 Star engine exchange in Glendale, AZ.

 

Sorry new/old info had a guy El Paso Powder coat my valve cover. In black satin for $40. Great touch I think.

 

joumateo99, if you post your pictures to photobucket.com than put them on your yotatech thread, they will be larger. Looks great

 

Looks good so far. Bob turned out good. Still on my to do list although mine won't be on the road till late spring / early summer.

 

Easy huh? haven't welded before though....when do you guys go wheelin?

 

Well I'm not great. I took a class at the Branch to learn the basics. We go out wheeling when my wife lets me go. ha ha. Just whenever.

 

what did that engine cost if ya don't mind me asking

 

Right on, I actually thought of taking a class so I can start doing some of my own mods to my truck. Past couple of weeks I've been out to Upper Broad, Hopping Jalepeno, and tomorrow we are heading out to Box Canyon. I plan on exploring the Dona Ana trails next weekend. Let me know when you wanna go wheelin, or even wanna make some extra cash for helping with some mods. I will extremely appreciate it

 

Well mpwarfy the engine cost me about $835 with taxes. Had to return my core. But I had a extra one for that reason.

86YodaForce I'm down just call or text Ignacio

Thanks everyone for the views.
