[beafire]

I bought this rig two years ago it was almost completely built. I have made several major improvements like, Hydro assisted steering, Warn 8274 front winch exo cage and I figured out the electrical gremlins. Here is a list of things that had been done before I bought it, dual cases, square drive lines, 5.29's, spool rear, lock-right front, 32 bolt bead-locks, 37 mtr's, Chevy rear springs, solid axle conversion, header, k&n filter, grab bar for passenger, Celia seats, in cab roll cage. Over this winter I repainted it with Rustoleum Safety yellow and placed a tribute to the brave firemen that lost their lives on 9-11.

[ajfriz]

Here is my 86. Currently it is locked front and rear with 4.88s. It also has 33 12.5 15s on the stock wheels. I have the solid axle that is going in very soon I will also do hy steer along with all of the other goodies that come from SAS. I also have the 5.29s and the 37s to put in at the time of the SAS.

[MUD EMPIRE]

Cheers from downunder.........just thought that I'd join up to see how yoos Yanks go "wheelin".
I've got a '97 LN106 single cab Lux...It's got all the regular stuf like air lockers, XP9500, turbo diesel, rock sliders,
upgraded springs and such. We have mostly slippery, rutted and extremely closed in skinny tracks.
Some stuff is nasty steep rocky tracks...other stuff is deep muddy and twisty inbetween big trees and thick scrub.
Here's my Lil Lux...........

[DanS HJ-45]

1991 4x4 DLX shortbed pickup.

Pretty much stock....

But I did remove the 22R-E and G tranny to install this 2LT-E/R series tranny. Only took a year (OK, 5 weeks of actual work, but a year on the calendar). Pretty nice getting 30-35 mpg on biodiesel, plus it has more power and torque than I could ever want. Lots of people have had problems with the 2LT-E heads, but so far I've been lucky (knock on wood). I'm sure someday I'll have to replace the head with a 3L part, but so far...

Other than that it's got Aisin hubs (yeah, like that's hard work!), 4 runner bucket seats, and 10" subs (need big speakers when you don't have AC).

It's got about 220K on the odometer, 15K since the diesel swap. Drives like it's new.

Plans? For the immediate future: none. The body is still in WAY too good of shape to wheel it, but due to an unfortunate couple of months without a tailpipe, there is some rust on the rear left fender, in a couple years it might peek through. For that reason (and because I want one), in a while (probably after I've got the HJ-45 restored) I'm planning on doing a SAS up front, and finding a double cab body/bed to finish the job of making it a Hilux (yes, I know hilux trucks never had 2LT-Es). But like I said, that's a couple years away at least.

Right now, all I want to do is listen to my turbo whine, smell my exhaust, and go 100 miles before the fuel level even comes off the peg.

Dan

PS-I'm glad I took those pictures when I did, I doubt I wash it even twice a year! It sure cleans up nice, you just can't beat the Toyota paint!
