If you look at the Hoods on the 83 you will see something that almost looks like a helmet/viser but they both have it making me think there was some type of weird hood scope.... Because of that I was wondering if it was painted diffrently... May end up just painting it like the 1984 but...
Thanks Aztoyman! I have never seen that build... seen a few others with that truck but this tread is a lot more info than the others.
Unfortunatly So Far I have not found any 1983 pics... I wonder if the cab was removed to install the 1984 cab. Either way just looking for a better picture of...
Looking for 1983 IVAN IRONMAN STEWART Pickup Pictures like the Trucks seen Below! The 1984 Pickup is what most of us all remember and are easy pics to find. But looking for that first year pics.
Reason for this is I found a CHEAP 79-83 whit Hood! So I was wanting to paint it up like Ivan...
So many of our Trucks come with a LSD rear diff. Like Devil Paw said check under the hood with the Axle Code.
Many people (me Included) do an e-Locker Swap but that requires modification. I dont think they came with one factory. but I could be wrong.
Now if its a spool locked or Welded... that...
Oh I did see that USA made Hilux with the the 2nd gen runner and the rear of a pickup, and bed to make a Sweet Hilux knock off! I was looking and was like what if you did that with the Extra Cab Pickup! Passengers in the back would have so much leg room!
Hey Mtnbiker4evr13, You already have the 2nd gen, Take a Fiberglass mold of the top and rear of the back door, buy a 1st gen topper, Cut the top off and then graft the mold to the fiber glass topper!!! Don't forget Manhattan Suggested roll cage! I might take the plunge after I move. I did...
I feel I need to get some measurements, Currently dont own either but debating on which should be the next build. Problem is I want the roof to come off but I have a Kid and so I want 4 doors... Since they 2 gens are pretty similar I thought this may be possible with some welding and fiberglass...
I was Curious if anyone has made a 2nd gen 4Runner with a removable top. Think using a first gen top with the front metal window frames removed and then do some fiberglass to match the rear door window frames... Something that looked like this high quality Photoshop in Paint, Think like the door...
My dad and a coworker bought a white 77 to commute in late 90s. That is what started my love for the Celica. I actually talked to my dad and his coworker about buying it for my first car. I started saving and then the coworker got laid off. He had the title and just sold it. My dad never saw any...
Hey Yall it has been a Minute since I posted. So here is the Lux update.
- SHE RUNS!!!
- Doors were installed (
*Front are ready for some wet sanding and putting in all the hardware.
*Rear doors are now coming back off for rust repair... and what didn't look too bad is worse...
You know it would have been logical to check at the time... but I didn't. I saw that the radiator inlet and outlet were in the same spots and was happy! I will say that it is a 3 row aluminum which is the biggest I found. I would like to run a turbo at some point but for now I will just get...
I want to see some pics!!!
Thank ALX. Yours is a beauty!!!
So for updates. Unfortunately, I am in Michigan and it is cold and my tiny garage is able to house the Hilux, Celica, and a few bikes to keep them out of the weather, but with a very minimal room for movement around everything. That...
Sorry Everyone,
Been working hard trying to beat the snow fall and praying for it stay away this year. Well it finally snowed but I have gotten a lot done since my last post. For the most part the rust has been patched. All that is left are rear doors and a small bad spot in the passenger floor...
Hey Yall,
So I have done some cutting and welding and thought I would share, I also have cleaned out the front half of the rocker the best I could with a 1/4 in rod welded to a wire wheel, a shop vac and then rust encapsulated it to prevent moisture attacking the metal... I will also be using...
Hey Everyone,
This is Captain Slow!!!! I decided to make a NEW profile.. More on that in a bit.
So it has been awhile, I have been cutting and welding rust left and right and would love for you to follow along if your interested. I decided not to do a youtube channel... Reason for no...
I did! But it was under a diffrent name... couldn’t remember the password and decided I would like to keep everything with my Instagram and gmail I made for it.
Yeah that was it!
