Figured i should start one of these!
better late than never
So what i have here is a 1991 Toyota,
has a 22re
a 5 speed
on some bald 31's
got it with a 2 Inch BL.
202k on the clock with supposed trans and motor rebuild at
185k. But what toyota hasn't had a "rebuild"

The day i bought it,



i traded my 83 for it.







But anyway, back to the truck at hand.


WHAT I WANT TO DO
1 tons
dual cases
ARB lockers
7mgte swap
Bed bob and dove tail
5.38's
42's

WHAT WILL ACTUALLY HAPPEN
D44 & 14B
5.13 gears welded F&R
38s
hopefully dual cases.

 

First up is new tires!


Before!


After!


33x12.5's fit just fine.
No rubbing!

 

Did a little wheelin to test out the tires =-)

 

Got some LED cluster light from superbrightleds.com
Gonna put them in tomorrow. and i'll do a write up.
and i also pulled off that rear bumper if you hadn't noticed.
It looked saggy =-/

 

Definitely! going for a TG style.

 

good lookin truck, I envy you liveing in medford I love it up there

 

Thanks!
Yeah its nice, im actually moving to the eugene area in three weeks!

 

scribed, making me miss my old truck. Looks nice bet you miss the 83 i know i would.

 

Yeah i do.
But i dont miss not having fuel injection and a heater.

But that thing was fun!
Got ridin hard and put away wet way too many times haha.

 

She is also a work horse
i manage to fit a yard of 3/4 minus in her.
and drive 30 miles with the springs beyond flat

 

nice yota. 35s will nicely in there after the spacers, or you cud just cut

 

Yeah i pretty much saw your build when i got the truck
and was like thats what im gonna shoot for, for the time being.

i was kinda considering just stuffin the 35's under there haha

 

nice...it does look good with them 33's but will look mean with 35's, looks like you have some fun!

 

haha thanks bud. i did a little of all 3 though, cut, BL, Spacers. if i could change anything it would be to loose the susp lift and just run body lift and cut fenders. i liek the looks and performance of big tires and small lift. but it aint gonna matter since im gna SAS

you could probably run 35s in there right now if you cut the pinchweld out and the corners of the fenders

 

Been super busy with the move and gettin worked like a dawg!
but that means i'll have more money to put into it!

gonna rhino line the bottom i think soon, to look something like this




And am currently workin on a cheap cheap homebrew backwoods bumper haha out of this that i get for free from work in 2 foot pieces gotta get to weldin!

 

Did you ever get the LED's done? What color did you go with?

 

i got blue because it seemed like the most logical lol.

Yeah i forgot to post that too! i'll get those pics up!
The climate control light is disappointing though =-/ really like a spot light

 

So i was lurkin craigslist last night when i came across a guy that was selling all of his yota stuff for 100 bucks. so i proceeded to get info and hes like yeah just some stuff and named a few things off so i was like yeah i'll come pick them up tomorrow.

So $100 bucks later and i come home with...








So i ended up with two complete 3rds he didnt know much about. One which is welded and both with new bearings all over.
One new ring and pinion. "4.10's i think"
a rear axle. a set of first gen doors, 22re vavle cover, a bumper.
a front driveline and quite a few sets of shackles a spring hangar and some other misc. parts

 

Score good deal,

 

Dont flame me too hard guys. this was my first welding project.

Here are my bumpers after i sprayed em with bedliner. now ready to mount.
