Early pickup/hilux and 4-runner tech and classifieds

It's definitely a clean whip! Pinion seals need replaced and a good base lining of fluids and stuff. I would not do anything with tires until you get some seat time and see how it does. I don't think Mike has even taken delivery of it yet. He's posting from Ethiopia with the natives... Or something like that...

I've got a cam that I bought a while ago and never installed, Mike. Would do you more good than me in Snoop.

Don't need cams for I-40. At least not that kind. ANC, not Ethiopia.

Those wheels look bad ass!

Needs a suspension. Would make you very happy commuting. 2" OME.

What's cheap way of doing this? Will it give a smoother ride?

Just look on line. There are tons of options. You just want a 2" kit.

It's like an 80.....it's not about the actual lift but about replacing 200,000 mile clapped out springs.

Isn't Butch an ARB dealer? I know when Coberly was a dealer I picked up a 40 lift for a great price!

 

[wngrog]

I don't hate the wheels at all.


Upgrade suspension and get 31" at/ko

Drive till something breaks

Cam. Singular. It will make big difference in your life. And acceleration.

Leave suspension alone. The stuff a lift will replace on a mini truck won't make it new or drive better. Promise. Double promise.

Leave tires and wheels alone until you get some seat time.

Don't eff up my future ride

Have any of you ever used one of these? I am concerned that it wouldn't really seal tightly to keep mosquitos out.

Result of a late night encounter with some wildlife.
I am planing to order a replacement hood and fender. I have seen them on eBay . Any one have some undenented ones to sell?

 

[Jordan7118]

That stinks...

Have you tried U-Pull-It type yards around you? Cheaper, quicker, easier, guaranteed to fit (probably.. )

 

[LoneRanger]

After market on a low budget part not too bad

Thinking about rolling with the two tone.

Waiting on the hood shipment

I had to pull the front cross member back into place with a crowbar
