Bought this truck after my 1st one blew a rod but still kept on going. I'll never sell another one of my rigs again. this is an on going build.

How it started out



first thing i did was get rid of the bed, it was rusted so bad along the lower parts it was falling off. sanded the cab down bare metal. then heavy rust metal primer browned it.

of course i had to throw on my 33x12.50's and a 2" body lift and rock it like that for a while . even left on those crappy chrome running boards.

then went with dark forest green textured paint.

 

found a flatbed for cheaper then a case of royal purple oil.



how it looks with the tool boxes that came with it.







went offroading twice since i had it. 2nd trip was crossing this bog coming down from where the guy on the quad is. river mud bogs are like quick sand sunk the passenger side tire over the hub but flooded the inside cab bye bye ecu



^ this is taken the next day after it was pulled out. all that trenching and diverting the water to the other bog drained it down. if you look on the left bank *your right if your coming down from the quad in the truck* you can see where i was on the bank nearly made it across then the bank gave. next think you know im up in the air on the drivers side but slumped at a angle. if you look at the after pic of recovery. you can see the water lines angle by looking at the front bumper.

 

what a difference!!

 

my company while trying to trench out the water in the bog



left it in the bog over night some guys with bigger meaner trucks pulled it out. and it sat at the service road.


got it home and it sat under the carport where it started out. picked up a couple parts while i'm awaiting something.






and a g2 spool for the rear with install kit

 

rears are now mounted and on the truck on 15x12 . tires are 31x15.5x15 trenchers

where i relocated the gas tank. no more water in the gas. tacked up a fame then got a better idea . that something - forget the tank the sensors


Propane Time- coming september

and yes I'm keeping the ifs i'll wheel it till it falls apart then sas

 

can't tell if your being sarcastic or not

the only things that have changed are the paint job, height of cab,tires,

already has engine work done to it. .40 pistons needs a better cam but it's not power less. i've done 90 on the highway w/wo a bed. passed cars going up through the mountains.

 

I love it, man. What a good looking little Toyota

 

so far up to this point i've only spent 700$ that includes
bed
shackles
tires
15x12's that came with 32x11.50 at's
spool
paint/primer and a sander
exhaust work
and having the ditchers mounted on the 15x12

that's including cost of truck

 

or not.

compare any subsequent pics to the 1st two pics....that's what I'm talking about.

 

Lets see a pic with the trenchers on! or even better, In actioN!

 

only have the rear 2 mounted. the wheels i found there were only 3, I had no idea they discontinued them and are no longer in business . so it looks like i'll be running 2 diff sets of wheels. here's a pic with a yota with all 4.


I'll go grab a shot of the rears in a bit
length of new shackles, bored the holes to use the factory stock bolts.


it'll be after september before i can get video or pics of them in action. see no reason to fix the efi since im gonna switch to pane . 4.10's spooled rear on pane

 

compared to the 33x12.5's up front. their not true 33's

last pic is with about 2lbs of air

 

who know's maybe i'll go buy or find another ecu, wire the pump up and go wheeling between now and sept. that and buy a new battery.

 

G2 spool & install kit minus the bearings gonna try to use the old ones.

 

also got 3 outta 4 ditchers mounted. Haven't had any luck finding a 4th 15x12 wheel on the cheap. outta funds for the truck till next pay day.

 

got the engine bay all cleaned up. what a lotta * in a factory truck, broke down my wiring hardness to just the alt wiring 1 wire to the 80amp and the red going to the battery.

took out the CC, all the fuel lines, gotta plug the vac tubes.

started searching and shopping looks like 12v guy is gonna be getting some of my money.
