X-Jack Exhaust jack


I'm really interested in the exhaust jack! Seems really practical if you're by youself out there and stuck in the deep snow or gumbo substance! I think your little pickup will turn out cool!

Update: I got the '86 running with a "kitchen rebuilt" 22re. We used as much Toyota stuff as possible, a DOA C270 cam and an adjustable timing gear from LC. The timing gear took a little tuning, but you sure can dial in your powerband. The engine probably now peaks at about 3650-3750, a bit lower than any other setup I've had. I got 17 mpg pulling passes with 5.29 gears and 34" bias swampers. I'm guessing from prior experience that I could get 19-21 mpg with 33" radials.

It currently has a ghetto looking wooden flatbed, but I intend to replace it with a steel one with a roof rack/tent setup that I can use as an airtank or maybe even a bed with a similar roof rack/tent setup. The whole truck is pretty new inside and mechanicaly but it still looks like a POS beater, with some primer here and there and no front bumper. I have my work cut out for me but I think it will turn out very functional and somewhat profesional in appearance.

I really want one of those onboard showers too!!
