Hottrod81, How do you like yours?

I think the only reason the canyon took a driveshaft is because of the axle wrap his cruiser had. I imagine once he gets his track bar on, that canyon will be known as Megolfer canyon.

I love my Roundeyes. Not only do they give a nice clear light, but they also look good. Bill also has them.

Well, I bought another Toyota, again! (4th one so far). It is a donor truck. Its a 87 2wd with a brand new engine, with less than 1000 miles on it, and it has all new AC components. I plan to rob a few parts from the truck, but other than some parts, is anyone interested in any other parts from the truck such as the back bed and frame to make trailor? the cab? I will let all of it go dirt cheap. Here is what I plan to take from the Truck,

engine
AC stuff
Hood
Drivers side door
door locks
fuel float (in tank)


question, is the 2wd rear axle the same as a 4wd?

My neighbor may need some stuff for his 1988 1-Ton.


I think you have all met "Old Joe".

Do you need a dual battery set up for that or a high out put alternaetor?

[Hottrod81]

Those kits come with a high output alternator.

[megolfer]

got most of my on board air hooked up today. I need to wire the pressure switch and hook up the air for the arb and I should be done

[slickrock]

Nice. Which pressure switch did you use? Mine is huge and would like a smaller one.

I set my timing and adjusted my headlights properly for 25 feet.

[H2OBOSS]

This is the switch I used works great, they have three different psi settings to choose from.

10. 12 Volt Pressure Switch-105psi
Pressure switch keeps your air tank at preset level. Available in two ranges, either 105 psi (great for use with ARB's) or 145psi upper limit. Made by Texas Instruments.
Only: $ 19.95

I went with this switch
eBay Motors: 200 PSI Air Pressure Switch Horn Suspension Compressor (item 220334682138 end time Dec-31-08 20:03:04 PST)

hard core 4x4 has them too!

[H2OBOSS]

I've heard (for what it's worth) that lockers work better at a lower pressure of around 75psi ???. 175 -200 WOW I guess a guy can put in a regulator to the line on the locker.

[D'Animal]

According to ARB, they need 90 - 100psi.

[deans87]

i dont have a air locker yet i use it for on board air. and the air horns!

Going to go out to Dan's and going to start the engine swap from my 2wd to the 4wd.

[slickrock]

Picked up a cool reverse camera that mounts to either the lisence plate or some flat surface and has an LCD TV that goes up front for the driver. The other day I took out the trash cans becasue the neighbor put them against the garage. WHen I pulled my Cruiser out, I couldn't see them and crushed them. So this will help there and on the trail backing up and not sinking into a hole or hitting a rock. Only 50 bucks!

[rollerracing]

We got the engine swap done! First of all I would lke to thank Dan for all the help he has done for me! I cant thank you enough! The reason Dan missed the Xmas party is because of me, so I would like to appologize to everyone for keeping Dan from attending. Dan really stepped up to help out someone that he barely knows, you dont find people like that anymore. He let us use his parts cleaner, tools, knowledge, engine stand, you name it. But I do need to replenish all of the items that were used. Also I would like to Thank Dans wife for making lunch for both days. Also I had a couple of friends helping me as well, Thank you David Jackson and Will Mayo for lending a hand. I could not have done any of this without all of your assistance. Dan, next time you have a project and I have the day off, my services are yours! Anyone need any parts off of the 2wd before I start ripping off parts? The cab is in great condition, the bed has a wrinkle in it, and the bucket seats are in ok condition. Anyway, the truck is up and running and running great! Once again, THANK YOU DAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rollerracing]

More from the Swap.

[rollerracing]

one more!

[Dereks83Toyo]

hey i was wondering if u still had the buckets and how much u wanted for them

[rollerracing]

I have bucket seats out of my 2wd drive I can sell you, or trade you for something. The seats have a few tears in them, but with seat covers they will just fine.

[rollerracing]

[Hottrod81]

[slickrock]

Still swapping out the 40 axle for the 60 axle. More fun tonight. Need to get my spring frame mounts moved out an inch, mount up the axle, bleed the brakes, hook up the rear back-up camera, figure out if I a flat towing or trailering. fun times!!!

[deans87]

I bought new spark plug wires and a new cap today. found out that number 3 plug had a short. hopefully this will solve the bogging in the engine.
