sweet rig, still dont see the big deal with messing with license plates... i see hundreds every day... lol

 

Most likely gonna go with yellow it matches my yellow shocks

Not a fan lol, i'm definitely keeping the "TOYOTA"

Yeah i don't really understand either. But thanks for the compliment!

 

I sent James at http://www.jamesdeancreations.com/ a message asking if he could print me a yellow "TOYOTA" logo for my tailgate.

 

Here's some parts that came with the 1991.

(Not pictured, radiator and brake discs)



-Front wheel seals
-Wheel bearings
-Rear axle seals
-Inner tie rods
-Ball joints
-Pitman arm
-Thermostat
-Tie rods
-Brake pads
-Idler arm

And I went to Toyota today and got;
-2 oil filters for the 22re
-Toyota thermostat (to fix the overheating when using the heater)
-Drain plug
-Drain plug gasket

 

SICKKKKKKK! LOL. love it when there's a bonus! start crack'n on that suspension before it's COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLD! lol.

Have fun with her, man!

 

PS> .....Silver on the letters..? lol. I like that on black trucks.

 

I need to snag a set of lower control arms then the teardown can begin!

I also like the way silver looks but I think I'm gonna do yellow (surprise I know)

 

Nah, not surprised, lol. It's 'YOURS', as I've said many times, lol..... I just keep hearing "Black and yellow black and yellow black and yellow" in my head! lol. Get bumble bee'n, man! lol.

 

brian- you could make this look like a service vehicle. that way, you could probably get away with parking wherever you wanted ... stuff like a serial number in the corner, brush guard, small antenna, "how's my driving" sticker (with fake number), amber light bar on top, etc...

 

hahah that's funny. But no i prob wont do it.

 

I wanna give James at Jamesdeancreations.com a BIG thanks for custom making me a yellow "TOYOTA" decal for my tailgate!

 

Quick and dirty Photoshop.

 

you lazy bum





can't wait to see the new decale. are you going to paint the truck before you put it on? (or at least the tailgate, just so you don't have to mask it off if you want to re-paint it later)

 

aw! come on Ian! why do you always think ahead

 

Nice score on the truck and good deal that you actually fit behind the wheel. That really surpised me.

 

i hate seeing a permanent half-a55 job. and i know james dean stickers aren't cheap (though they look great)

 

I'll probably end up ordering another one.

He ruins the fun lol

Yeah I was really surprised that I fit too. I've done a couple hour long drives now and have to admit I am comfortable.

I hear that, i hate stuff done 50%.

 

I had this strange surging temp, when the temp would first hit normal operating temp from a cold start, i'd get this surge of heat and the temp gauge would go to 3/4, stay there for about a minute, minute and a half then drop back to normal. Now way im having that! I got a good thermostat from Toyota and dropped her in today, temp problem fixed!

 

Thinking about a rear locker. I have heard they make driving on ice and snow very difficult and downright dangerous. Why is this? Is it because the axle locks together, thus both wheels are spinning and neither is getting traction causing the truck to slide down/across the hill, or am I completely wrong?

This is the primary reason I have been afraid to put one in Ol' Yeller.

Opinions?

 

my experience in snow/ice with my locker. the rear end of the truck is extremely slippery. its takes some getting used to, but its do able... just dont put an automatic in the front if you plan on driving in the snow.
