Good new is aside from that everything has been running well. I have been driving a bit here and there. Finally got the Evap Monitor to clear. That's all 8 without any codes! The smog referee wants to see pictures of this along with all the swap...

NVMD I think it's just too short for my needs. :(

What is the min/max lift height?

The one's I've been finishing I do a light sanding, use a filler primer (any kind should do) and then paint. I'm sure you could just shoot with a clear coat if you'd like that would be fine.

That's how the day started in the French Alps Then passed (and payed) the custom import... Got my French temporary license plate and finally was able to really drive it! Drove very well for 500km and it's now officially home!! Passed a...

Porn. Still a few things to take care of, but it's driveable.

Super cool man.

@gnob, here’s the part number for the cruise control, I didn’t get any hits on Amayama for it. Turns out the throttle cable I ordered is too short but yet the one from a later model is too long. In the end I just modified this one by breaking...

Cool. Just let me know if you find them. Would be great to have !

If you are not familiar, these things are not only functional, they are a work of art.

no problem deleting it. on my 79, one side used a two bolt regular mount and the other side was one bolt and the othe end just "locked" into the frame. that side pulled out repeatedly and I just pulled it all.

Shoot me a PM if you find them. Going to be a couple of days before I have time to do anything else. As long as I can make them work, I'd definitely be interested.

Wouldn't cause any problems to remove it, although you may or may not like the way the truck handles. On my 60 I drove for years without the sway bar because the front springs were stiff enough that the body roll wasn't significant enough to need...

Thanks. Kind of what I thought. I may just reuse the old ones with the new bushings and washers. Any problems with completely removing that system?

The new links are too short. Ideally the links would want to be long enough that the bar can be bolted on without much (if any) tension on the bushings while at ride height, that way they can flex both up and down without breaking as the...

Today I hit the cab hard with the pressure washer. It's a beast and cleaned out all the dried up seam sealer, washed off more paint and got even more grime off the bottom. The plan tomorrow is more welding. I found one of the lower fender bolts...

I got my new engine running this morning and everything looks good except the tach is not working. I have a 1985 pickup that had a 22R engine in it and I have replaced it with a 2003 3RZ and used the ORS stand alone harness, also put in the 10K...

I know it's not 4wd but I love it just the same. Specs: 1992 Toyota pickup came from the factory with 22re, 5spd manual, no AC, no power steering, no radio Built a flatbed with custom raising rear bar for lumber rack duties. Made the flatbed to...

I did run into 2 issues during the process, the stabilizer bar links and the stabilizer bar bushing brackets. Stabilizer Bar Links: You can see that the old links and the new links are a different size. I'm not sure what's right, but I ordered...

I did the bulk of this a few weeks ago, but went on vacation, and I just finished up today. Changed out all the suspension bushings, hangers, bolts, shocks, and steering stabilizer. It still rides like an old pickup truck, but she's far less...

A friend said he wanted to win one of these billion dollar lottery pools so he could have a private jet and avoid the airports. I was thinking I wanted to win the same lottery so I could have all my dream cars and pay people to get everything...

I agree, too. I hate having somebody do anything for me, especially when I'm perfectly capable. But, at some point I want the job done ... and I stick a crowbar into my wallet.

I understand what you mean about not letting someone else do the fun stuff. Will be great to see more progress pictures !!

You guys should know by now that I'm not only a diy guy, I'm a cheap a$$. I have to be. Prep absolutely sucks and I can see why it costs so much. After I get the prep done, I sure don't want to pay someone to do the fun part. I see plenty of...

New to forum thought I would start thread covering the progress of my build. The truck is a 90 pickup regular 4x4 with 22re and 5spd. My dad bought new then sold to my uncle then dad bought it back then he wrecked it. It sat for a couple years...
