Ok so after having been a jeep guy for the past 5 years Ive broken down and bought my first Toyota truck. I picked up this lil beauty off of a local guy who took Excellent care of it. I never thought Id ever get a toyota but this thing is SWEET. This is my DD since my Jeep is just a dirt toy now. So this will be a mild build.

Specs:
1984 Toyota Pickup SR5
22R rebuilt engine
5 speed Manual with 4x4
SS headers and full SS exhaust system
Old Man Emu Full Leaf packs
New brakes
New Fiberglass truck bed
Repainted Original color

PICS:





AND 2 of the Jeep cause its lonely:

 

youll wanna drive the toyota more then that heep now, i wouldnt recomend sayin that j**p word on this site either, what are your plans for her? welcome to yota tech, here comes your addiction.....

 

Nice! That truck looks cleeeaan!

 

I think Im addicted to offroad trucks in general heh. Ive had a dakota, wrangler, cherokee and now this pickup and Im only 19. Anyhow, plans for this truck is bigger tires and nicer rims with less backspacing. I wanna find a lil brushguard for it (looks mostly cause its my DD). I need to either bedline the inside of the bed or find a drop in bedliner. The radio is crap so I will be swapping that out for a new headunit, possibly a double din depending on my funds. New speakers, and a rollbar. I already picked up a couple skid plates for it and will be tinting it tomorrow to keep some of the heat out. I will probably build my own rear bumper and might make a few other odds and ends for it. Also install a CB radio for trail rides. The headlights will be swapped out for a set of projectors also since the stock ones well suck pretty bad.

 

very nice, how much did you pay for her? very clean looking truck

 

Killer find ! I'd love to find a gray interior. Almost impossible to find them that clean and unbutchered anymore. Although I love yotas , I'd beat your jeep and keep this one clean. Although after driving your yota you may consider selling your jeep to buy another yota to build.

 

Trust me this is my dd I would never beat this up. I drive my trail rigs pretty hard, the jeep is strictly a trail rig now, I need to fix the front end of it since I tore it off on some rocks at ure. I might have located a bedliner and brush guard for it. We shall see tomorrow if I get it. I paid 5k for it.

 

Worth every cent.

 

Well I picked up a brushguard today and a drop in bedliner for the yota. Now Im sitting at the tint shop waiting for them to tint my truck. Pics later when I get home.

 

Ok I was suppose to post pics like a week ago, but been busy due to exams on campus. So heres the pics now. I added a brushguard I picked up for almost nothing. Got the windows tinted. And added in a bedliner. BTW it started to rain when I took the pics.

 

Well thought Id update this thread a lil bit. I put some 33s on the yota today to see how it looks. They actually arent mines but a buddy of mines just to see how it looks. Im thinking 33s will be perfect for the yota.

 

Nice truck, that rear bumper is just itching to get ripped off, ask me how I know.

 

Ah trust me I know. The dinky 4 bolts holding it on seems pretty weak. Any suggestions on a nice aftermarket rear bumper? I like the look of a plate bumper, not a huge fan of the tube stuff.

 

I don't have one on mine anymore, I peeled it back when the corner edge caught on a rock. The mounts and brackets actually held up pretty good for how mangled the bumper was.
Did the PO of your truck mention why they swapped to a 2wd bed?
Ah just saw in the first post that it is a fiberglass bed

 

yeah would have been nicer with the 4wd bed for sure, i tink you overpaid for 5k myself

 

You in Florida?

 

Im from Charlotte, NC. If you saw the prices on these yotas around here the price was about right considering it had correct documentation and a brand new engine. Everything in Charlotte is expensive.....As for the bed, I actually prefer the 2wd bed. Im not sure why I just like the body lines of it I guess kinda like the older pickups. So Im looking for a soft top camper top to throw on the yota. Ive seen the can-backs and soft toppers. But I like to have side windows. The only brand that I found with side windows is the bestop super top, but its listed as fitting only 89-04 6ft beds. Anyone know why it wouldnt fit on my 84?

 

GOOOOD looking truck, man! Those 33" tires just make it.

 

$5k is still half the price of a new 4wheeler, so you can't beat that. Your pics looked like this part of Florida, that's why I was asking.

 

Good looking truck! I can say you did very well! I like the color of the truck, makes me miss one of my old Z-71's that was that color
