    Toyota Beater Build - 1981 4WD

    Truck did great on the Old School ride. I had wanted to get a front bumper on before the ride but didn't quite make it. Anyway, I got the front crossmember strengthened up and welded in some m12 nuts to bolt into and now the truck has a winch bumper that you can actually use for recovery. Kind...

    Toyota Beater Build - 1981 4WD

    An opportunity to drive in a really cool event put the 1981 Toyota 4WD flatbed project into high gear as I push to finish this build in less than 2 weeks. It will see a lot of hard road and trail miles, so it needs to be solid reliable ol' truck to keep up.

    Any specific tips? The Sky's Offroad Combo kit is looking tempting for getting everything at once.

    Toyota Beater Build - 1981 4WD

    Got to take the pickup out wheeling a bit and it did great. The rear flexed very well, and the front did pretty fair. Unfortunately, the factory push-pull steering is toast and I pretty much have to do some sort of crossover setup. Currently looking into what is the cheapest solution to solve...

    Toyota Beater Build - 1981 4WD

    Getting closer and closer to that dump run. It took two and a half weeks but I was finally able to get the truck home and in the garage. I have a load of trash I need to haul off so getting this truck running is top priority. lol Hope everybody is having a great week!

    Toyota Beater Build - 1981 4WD

    I rebuilt the Weber carburetor, ordered a pressure regulator and a trans-dapt intake adapter from Summit and headed back to the truck to install the parts and try to get it home. It didn't go well lol. The intake adapter has a port that leaked vacuum even though it didn't match up on the...

    Toyota Beater Build - 1981 4WD

    I've got a clear title for it. If all goes well, I'll have it back out on the road soon. The diffs are either spooled or welded, haven't been inside it yet, but should still be good to haul stuff to the dump or make a run to the hardware store in town. With that said, I won't be selling the...

    Toyota Beater Build - 1981 4WD

    The Toyota Beater Build has begun, and I made a video to document the process. Check out one of the latest things I've purchased to annoy my wife and hopefully be entertained in the process. If you like the video, share it with your buddies. If you don't like the video, then share it with all...
