You did a great job on that bumper. You putting the quarter guards back on? Looks immaculate.

I don't know if this had them on there, but i think I like it the way it is

Looks too nice to not protect it.

bobm · Apr 13, 2016

I don't have any. Sure someone here does. If not make them.

I have a pair since your sticking to the stock bumper. You will have to wait if your willing and wanting then I'll be in Barstow by mid May.

Hoping you guys can help me out here, the pig is finally home from the shop with all the bodywork fixed, rebuilt carb, new wires, plugs and alternator, she is running like a champ attached some updated pics

I am now trying to get all the windows and door locks working

I noticed that that the nipple on a few of the regulators is all stripped out, does anyone have a solution for this?

Look for some good used replacements. This was just discussed, seems you have the older style like mine, which means a smaller gear surface. The newer ones have a bigger gear area, Toyota must have seen they're error and improved it.

Ebay had some a while back, the listing might still be there. Post a wanted ad here in the classifieds, and if all else fails try SOR. I bought one from them a couple of years ago.

Also looking for a good carpet kit if you guys know of anyone

It sounds like Jason does: What did you do to your pig today?

I am thinking about converting all the brakes to disc

I saw this conversion kit on eBay and I was wondering if any members here have used this kit or can reccomend an equal or better kit

Feedback also appreciated about doing the conversion

Updated pics of interior all redone

For less than the price of that kit you could pull together the pieces to convert your front axle to disc and see how you like it. That way you are staying all Toyota. If you don't like it then you can go rear disc?
