A few months ago I bought a project/DD 1985 pickup 4wd with factory 22re. Been stalking the forums and figured I would join up and get in on the action.
As far as the build goes, its a mystery to me. I have no specs on suspension cause the guy I boughtbit from claimed it all to be "custom" like most folks do though he did know a thing or two about Toyotas. I paid $3500 for this yellow jewel and its been good to me since day one.
-So we have some sort of lift???
-BDS shocks (I think) that ride horrible
-Stock push pull steering
-No body armor
-33x12.5x15 bfg t/a KO's
-Came factory with 22re but I think it has a junkyard motor in it (paint pen writing on valve cover) 186,XXX on the dash
-auto transmission (a340f I believe)
-Manual valve body
-open diffs
-... Various little things I'm sure i forgot
I work for the railroad so I get very little time at home. Wheeling and wrenching aren't common for me at the time so for now I just want the drivability and reliability that this thing is known for. This is my second Toyota (2009 Tacoma 2wd 5 lug) and this thing is a blast to drive around and the looks from innocent bystanders never gets old.
In the last 2 months I've replaced the thermostat and the o2 sensor and will be changing all fluids when I find the time.
I'll post more when I think of it but until then, thanks for adding me to the group!
