Yeah Zach,its a drum set up, but its a piece of cake to run a disc. I believe its out of a 1975 or 78 FJ40. I am sure about the FJ40 part just not the year. ill find out tomorrow. No hurry i will move it in the shop this week and make sure its good to go. I have this thing about rippin people off; I dont care for it much. Sweet truck jess, and good to hear the gap worked well. Where u at in colorado?

 

Sweet. I wasnt worried bout it the swap. I didnt know that they had drum up front. Can't wait to pick it up and start buildin it for the swap!!

 

Jess,..... just hand over the keys! Wait, ...I'm in CA, .... but, since the world didn't end today.... I CAN DRIVE OUT THERE and pick it up! ISN'T THAT GREAT? HEHEHE. Jk,... yeah, start one, and just so you have an idea.... Go to the "HOME" page, ....click on "FORUMS", .... then scroll down to the build section that's applicable to you, ....click on that, and then at the top of ALLLLLL the ones that come up there.... you'll see, on the top left, "Start Thread" or .... is it, ....."New Thread"... well, you'll see it, and it's one of those. Just click on that and start one up! We'd love to follow it, Jess. BTW, ... think out the name, etc. You have to have a 'admin' fix it if you don't like it, ....and they might throw things at you! lol. Jk... but seriously... just think out the title...> keep it simple, "Jess' 85 Pick Up Build Thread" or something like that.

Best wishes, ..and now back to ZACH-O-VISION!!!! lol.

 

PS> Guys,.... anyone else notice the miles on his FREAKIN 85 IN HIS SIG?????? hahahaha. 'AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!' lol.

 

hahahahhahahahahaha.............

Yeah i dont know when exactly they switched to disc up front, my old man would know for sure though.... ill pass that info on to you when i get it. I hate it when your geared up and ready to go on a project, but there is no cash to do the project with.

 

ok finally! thanks all you guys and chef for walkin me through that. i fell so much smarter now! check me at "jesse's 85 pickup build up". zach your the man and im from the springs too 4runfreak

 

Sweet Thread jess. THE 4RUNFREAK is about to be back in the game. This guy offered me a 1984 4runner with 88,000 original miles. I think i can get it for around 700. Clean interior. Imma go see it this week and check it out.

Whats new on the rig Zach?

 

good luck on that 4runner... hope the 2nd job isnt kicking your ass too much zach

 

Nothin new just yet. Still lookin for a head to slap on her to get her back on the road.

The job isn't too bad. Lots of trench diggin yesterday. But I don't care its $15/hr lmao. Its gonna help me get closer to fixin my truck quicker.

 

Thats good. Im still lookin for a job right now. Hopefully something comes across soon.
Hows your pops doin by the way?

 

Yeah, I hear ya on the job searchin. It took me 6 months to find the plummin job. The old man is doin good. His heart and what nots has healed up great. He is now in Rehab and counseling for it. But he is dealing with a torn roatator cuff and some other shoulder stuff that happened during his bypass. (They made him lay on his arm for 8 hours and it spazzed till it tore). I forgot to add in the last post: I hope that Runner turns out for ya. Its what ya been hopin for all these months.

 

Its a Runner, buts thats fine for now. a truck will come later. I need the rear seats anyway. I already have a list of stuff i wanna do to it. Im really glad its a slid front axle, and only 88,000 miles. Glad to hear about your dad. Sucks about his shoulder tho.

 

SO GLAD your pops is doing ok in the 'heart' department! Yeah, ..me too, "sorry bout the shoulder". PAINFUL! I have a bad 'pitching' rotater cuff. OUCH! lol.

 

Yeah, they want to surgery again. They say 6 mos to heal and its the most painful thing hes ever had done. He wants to wait for summer to come and go cuz he wants to ride and wheel. I think hes ok with giving up hunting this year, but Im not sure lol.

 

Uhmmmmm, ....he'd be risking SEVERE pain, even worse, if he injures it while riding, etc., .... and then he'd have to wait for HOW LONG for the surgery? Just hope he doesn't wind up having a spill and making it worse before, then has to wait a chunk b4 they'll fix it! lol.

 

Thats what my mom is tryin to tell him. They want him to schedule it for the 6th of June. But he is stubborn about it and wants to wait it out. I don't blame him but he shouldnt wait and like you said risk further injury,

 

Not ONLY risking hurting it and then having to wait in agony cuz he put it off.... but, seriously, HE COULD, VERY EASILY, 'INJURE IT MUCH WORSE'.... to the point that the Surgery would be MUCH more serious and in depth. NOT A GOOD IDEA, Mr. Zach's dad. Get it taken care of....that way, you KNOW it'll be GREAT by next summer, and not EVEN WORSE! lol..... Sorry Mr. Zach's Dad.... No disrespect intended, ...I just have PLENTY of experience with this..... I've broken about every bone in my body(38 to be honest, including every rib but one, both arms, wrists, ankles, femur, 8 Fingers, big toe, ...and....SKULL! lol. ...and I've learned, most recently...CAN'T EVER know what might happen, ........ and the problem for me was, ... I put one off, then injured it BECAUSE my shoulder wasn't 'good to go' yet. Grrr! lol. I was OVERTHINKING everything on my Moto Trails.... WAMMO!

Seriously.... I mean no disrespect, Zach, promise... Just know what that pain is like.... and I hate for ANYONE to go through more of it than they have to. Shoulders, Knees, BACK....TEETH, Ears, ...SERIOUSLY SUCKY "ACHES", every one! HAHAHAHA.

 

Oh I know you mean no disrespect. We discussed it today and hes gonna getter done asap. Itll be good soon lol. Pain is nothing new to him. Hes had pancreatitis three times, carpal tunnel in both wrists, broke ribs, broke back in two spots, work out knees from football, mulitple car accidents and prolly some stuff I dont know about. I definitly dont like to see him in pain. But hes gonna get it taken care of soon.

 

!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Definitly. Im glad hes gonna do it!!
