Rix's 1988 Pickup Build-Up Thread
Here's some of the pics from over the years.
When I got it.... stock on 31's, burned up rockers and lobes on #4 and a bad t-chain.

Then the engine almost blew on the way to reiter one day (#3 rod bearing spun)
So I had to build a new one.
engnbldr head w/oversized valves, 268c cam, Keith black pistons (lc engineering) balanced bottom end, LCE header, etc etc.
![](http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c148/rix86/1or2truckpics/DSCN6260.jpg)
![](http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c148/rix86/1or2truckpics/DSCN6261.jpg)
Then I put a front bumper on it, used from c-list
![](http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c148/rix86/1or2truckpics/DSCN4847.jpg)
And a used chinese winch that later burned up. (replaced with a warn)
And I put on 33x10.5r15 BFG muds, which is how I wheeled it for a year or so.
And it was like that when this pic was taken

![](http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c148/rix86/4x4pics/Reiter%204-12-08/steppic2.jpg)
And its last run was the Busywild at Elbe hills

![](http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c148/rix86/4x4pics/elbe%209-13-09/sept141429.jpg)
Along the way, I helped build this
![](http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c148/rix86/OLG/7runner/DSCN7292.jpg)
and this
![](http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c148/rix86/OLG/DSCN7317.jpg)
and this
![](http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c148/rix86/OLG/DSCN6824.jpg)
And messed with this (it's currently back in the garage)
![](http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c148/rix86/4x4pics/fj40/DSCN7334.jpg)
and started on my truck's SAS

TG rock rings (har har)
fzj80 elocker
gussets and all that
30 spline longfields
marlin ball gussets
Rear up front with a couple extra leaves
ETC ETC

So, the cressida is all that gets driven these days.
