I just joined up with yotatech...
here's some pic's of my
1989 Toyota Hilux Double cab 2.8Liter Diesel









Truck is sitting on Trail gear 5" lift with 35"x12.5" Goodyear MTR's, TRD E-Lockers Front and Rear with 5.29 Yukon Gears, Bilstien 12" travel Shocks.
Front Bumper was a custom bumper with stinger bar.
Trail Gear Rock Sliders.
Rear Bumper is custom built.

Truck is currently in the body shop for repairs after this happened to it. Car turned left into me when i had right of way. Hit his car and then a poll head on.




It's been 6 months in the shop. it's finally getting close but don't know when it will be done. Waiting for a new hood and fenders. The genious's at the shop ordered a hood and fender for a '89 4runner. I had to tell them they ordered the wrong stuff and order parts for a '89 pickup. I have to take some new pics of it because work has been done to it such as, new rad support, frame straightening, new front springs, in front axle housing, new rad, new a/c, new power steering pump, new water pump, clutch fan, and shroud.
Unfortunately it will have a stock bumper on it untill i can either buy one or get one built.

This Is what my truck looks like at the moment... close but still a week or two away from completion.

Hot damn that is hot! Im jelous The repair looks great, the frame looked pretty bad in the front there...

Nice rig, maybe I will see you around

 

yeah what he said! my god that is one super sexy truck yeah i looked for a super sexy award but yeah cant find one!

welcome to yotatech anda how about some pictures of that motor if you can


as for the wait it will be a million times better after its all done!

 

that there is the exact reason i like to have a STRONG front bumper on my rigs...im about to have to find a nice lookin strong one for my '86..its got a WUSSSSSSY bumper on it right now..and its bent..and looks fugly..if you would have had a burly warn bumper..i dont think the damage would have been that bad...still would have been bad..but not as bad as that...

 

wow beautiful truck very nice work! i wish i had i hilux. sorry to hear about the wreck but its lookin better

 

the problem with having lots of armor is if you get in a wreck your more likely to encounter frame damage.. i still agree on having armor though my babys all wrapped up in steel tubing

 

exo!!!!!!!!!!!! im going to do that when mines not a dd

 

Thanks for all the comments.

I have to put the stock bumper on the truck for awhile. Thinking about getting an ARB Bumper for a 89' pickup. the bumper i had was a custom tube bumper. my left fram rail did bend a bit. and of course a new front cross member got welded in. the frame has been straightened, you can't even tell where it bent and dented in a bit. but hitting a tellephone poll at like 40km/h head on is gunna do some damage regardless off what bumper you have. but i deffinately want a steel plate and tubular combo such as an ARB. any other suggestions?

i'll get some motor shots up.

from left side


motor is pretty much untouched except for a K&N drop in filter. and a new stainless muffler.

took me a bit to source something by taking a couple measurements and cross referencing at lord-co. turns out the filter is for a 1985 Toyota Supra 2.8Liter.

k&n part # E-2487

Nice truck man, sucks that it had to get smucked. Looks like the bodyshop is doing a pretty good job. Where are you getting it done?

You should get the Warn bumper...

 

it's out at Marine Drive Collision in vancouver.
yeah their doing a pretty good job with the re-pair, it's just been taking so long!!

a warn bumper? that looks pretty good. who carries warn bumpers in the lower mainland? what do they cost?

overdrive

 

looking really nice there overdrive...

 

Expect to pay over 1500 bucks for that bumper around here... LAME!!

I work near that repair shop

 

aviator; thanks for comment

jay351; 1500 for the warn? wow... that's why i think i'm leaning towards an ARB $1200 at North Shore Off Road. plus it has the triple loop to protect the headlights and corner lights.

Well, not exactly 1500 but very close. We always get shafted on those kinda things up here.

I would just go custom, it would be cheaper and you would get exactly what you want....

 

too bad that big or bad country offroad in b.c never updates there webpage..

we need more canadian mail order places!

 

Don't know about mail order but some canadian places that stock toyota aftermarket parts would be nice period.

 

I think somebody put the steering wheel on the wrong side of that truck.

 

Awesome dual cab man, I have a similar one, except in white with the 22R.

I didn't know they had RHD Hilux's in Canada. Sweet.
