I wanted to start a thread on my new-to-me 1984 Toyota 4x4 standard cab to document changes/modifications that I have made, create a timeline and post wheeling pics. I have named the thread Project Turn-key because that is pretty much how I got the truck! Here are the stats: 22R with modified carb, 5-spd, Dual cases, Rear disc brakes, Longfield chromo axles, Chromo hub gears, cheap 35's on steel wheels, 3 linked rear with Fox 14” air shocks / trail gear joints / .250 wall DOM lower links / 3rd gen rear housing, Warn 8,000 winch with in cab winch control, Skid plate, Co2 bottle with regulator, Tool box, High lift jack, Cd player, Cb radio, Driveline tech drivelines (.250 wall main tubes / Long splines in front), Spare “4 spline” drive shaft that works front or rear, Disc brake emergency brake, 5.29 gears (lock right front / spool rear), High steer kit with heim joints, etc. The previous owner took amazing care of the Toy and everything was done complete and correct. I was able to keep the tires and wheels off of my Land Cruiser, so her "trail shoes" will be 37x14.50x17 bias Iroks and custom beadlocks. Here are a few pics of the truck before I owned it and a couple from my driveway as delivered:
As I said, the truck is pretty much turn-key but there is a few changes that I would like to do:
1) Install my HAM Radio. This is a bit of a head scratcher due to the cab size. Heck, I'm used to an 80-Series!
2) Install rock lights.
3) Install reverse lights.
4) Wire in front aux. lights.
5) Install sand flag quick mount.
6) Install steering stabilizer. The truck came with one but I need to modify the brackets to fit.
7) Install rear sway bar. The truck came with a Currie Anti-Rock sway but I need to get a different torsion bar for it.
8) Fix the electric choke. This is the one and only mechanical issue I can find with the truck!
9) Replace CO2 regulator.
10) Install my emergency lighting. This would be for when I'm volunteering with ODF as Trail Patrol.
Like I said, the truck is pretty much set up and ready! I am very excited to start wheeling the new Toy...
