    Also found this sweet 109 sitting under a tree. We’re gonna try and make a deal on it.

    Got the springs flipped. The added wheelbase looks better with the hacked up quarters. We’re adding 4Plus flares that’ll just cover up all the quarter panel hostilities. Then we can just patch up the back portion without doing the whole thing. Anyways we’ll get some before and after pics when...

    Did a little elk scouting today and manual transmission tutoring. Great day to be in the woods. Planning on flipping the springs and removing the top tomorrow. Stay tuned.

    Here it is mostly put back together. Hopefully we’ll have it back to running this week? New manifold gasket, new fuel shutoff solenoid, new studs everywhere, new paint everywhere, and carb insulator. This should eliminate all the vacuum leaks so hopefully we can tune the idle. Once that’s done...

    More progress on the manifolds. Sandblasted them both and applied hi-temp primer and paint.

    We sealed up the heat riser mechanism. I have all new OE gaskets. Heat riser delete kit. All new OE studs and bolts. Picked up new downpipe and EGR stud kit from vintageTEQ. Also new fuel cut off solenoid from the same place. Great stuff from @ToyotaMatt. Next step is to get it all put back...

    Got some work done this week on the intake and exhaust manifolds. Trying to track down the intake leak(s) so we can get this thing to run and idle better. How do those gaskets look? Can you see if or where it was leaking? A couple of the studs were loose.

    Yes probably put an OME lift on at some point but there’s a ton of other things before we get there. I think he wants to do the body and paint, re do the seats, and maybe a Sniper conversion first.

    Added the HFS lift shackles. They are 1.5” longer. Also added urethane bushings all the way around with Bilsteins. The difference was incredible. It’s a totally different truck. The first pic is a square on before shot so you can see the change in stance.

    Put the top on today and went out driving. We just finished painting and restoring the top and drip rails to match the bezel. It’s still idling too high. Feels like it going to run away. Need to dig into that. Also got some more parts to install. New CR weatherstripping New exhaust/intake...

    The spare that was on it was original to the truck and didn't hold air. 2 of the other 4 didn't hold air and we kept one of the 4 to use as our spare. You might go to a tire store and see if you can bum a set of used tires. If they are very used tires I bet they will give them to you. Where...

    We got it “running”. It runs like crap and the wack a mole continues. It’s got exhaust leaks like it’s 1999. Exhaust is next on the list now so we can drive it without getting all gassed out. Seriously making my eyes water. Took a bit to adjust the idle and I still don’t think it’s dialed in...

    The boy is on a roll. Installed new bumperettes and started on the tail lights. Painted the front bumper Pewter from CruiserCorps and installed some tow hooks. Also added the hubcaps and seatbelts. Installed new radiator hoses and thermostat and housing gaskets. It always blows me away what...

    We really wanted to keep it too but those danged POs had already repainted it and hacked up the quarters.

    Here’s some shots of the back after paint and primer. Also rust converter and gloss black on the rear crossmember. Kind of an ad for Rustoleum. Fixing the rust will have to wait.

    Poor man’s body work. Not sure why we’re doing it since I’m sure we’ll re do the quarters and sill at some point. If I could figure out how to post a video I would show you a funny little time lapse he did.
