Hey y'all,

Picked up another Toyota, my thoughts were to use it as parts for my other project that I haven't had time to mess with.

This extracab was a one family truck. Snagged it off of craigs list only 3 miles from home!

But it runs so good with 193,000 (22re) that I don't want to mess with it and just drive it. Last fill up I was getting 20 mpg, one before that I got 22 city and hwy.

Found an old 3'' body lift and some 33 BGF ATs. But I'm not sure if I want to mess with the gas mileage. Decisions, decisions.......

 

hey man, thats a good looking truck! you should for sure put the body lift and 33's on it to give it a mean look!!!

 

Sold the 33s. Gonna let it ride.....22 mpg last fill up.

 

Nice! I love my 88 though I wish it was a 4cyl like yours!! Id keep it stock or mild mods. I put BJ spacers and 2" lift springs on mine with 30" tires it looks good to me and goes everywhere Ive ever taken it, I don't wheel too hard though, I don't want to bend up my truck, I have a dual sport bike for that!

 

haha man that truck would of looked great with 33's

 

I would vote to keep it stock. I keep both of mine bone stock and wouldn't want them any other way. I like sporting off the 'as is' awesomeness that Toyota put into these trucks.

 

haha but its fun to tower over cars sometimes!

 

I agree, I like the look of bigger tires!

I have had about 8 other toyotas over the years most with 33s or 35s ,but I was looking for something as a dd for now. I know the bug will get me soon enough.......

 

That is pretty! How do you gfind all these super clean rides? How much did you get her fer?

 

x3, but i believe in: 'Lift as little as needed" theory
I personally like the look of big tires and little lift, but DON'T go just to get em in there!!!LOL That truck is in great shape and itll be a shame to see it all beat. I wish my truck was that clean, wanna trade??

 

haha ya i hate cut fenders on clean yotas. trimming is understandable but every time i see a yota with no more fenders left i cringe a lil. lol

 

I ended up trading a 4 wheeler for it.....sort of.

Bought the 4 wheeler from by brother, cleaned it up and sold it.

Used the proceeds to buy the '88 off craigslist as a first come with cash kind of deal. I got a good deal on it.

It has a few dents here and there, but not too bad at all.

 

Just found some Smittybuilt side steps and dual tube front & rear bumpers. Gonna try to get them on over the weekend. Pics to follow.........

 

Well CRAP!

I think 2nd gear went out! Help me here....

I am hearing a loud knock that gets faster with engine RPM, not speed.

the knock goes away with when the clutch is engaged.

the knock is louder in 2nd gear and I feel "thuds"

I can use 1,3,4,5 but still hear the knocking.

No leaks, just started doing this today, 195,000 miles. I have put about 3,000 miles on it.

Thanks guys!
