Thanks - loved the look of the old Ivan Stewart Baja yotas but not so much for the yellow/orange! Decided to use the modern TRD race colors with the old style paint scheme! Ended the stripes a bit early though so I can take the doors off without "messing" up the look!
 
This is my 85 4Runner I picked up in Portland, OR from a dealership for $2,000. The first day they put it on the lot and it was mine by noon. It has the stock 22RE and the truck currently has 182,000 miles on it (152,000 when I bought it 5 years ago). The truck currently has a 2" Rancho suspension on it which I hate, but next week I'm putting a 2.5" OME suspension on it hoping for a better ride. Other than the 32" BFG MT's and the suspension upgrade, I don't really have many plans for it. Stored winters here in Michigan. Lot's of fun in the summer though...

That is a really clean 4-runner. Wish i could find something like that for that price around here. All i get are rusted 4 different colored runners for like 3500 bucks if i'm lucky
 
Here is my 1981 Pickup. When I towed it home about 6 months ago, it had no tranny, 112K miles, and was bone stock on flat 1980s tires. It sat for some time but the interior is near perfect and the desert doesn't rust em'.

Pretty much replaced anything made of rubber on the entire truck, as well as: new radiator, new clutch hydraulics, new trans, rebuilt front driveshaft, new brakes, new rear wheel seals, vacuum lines hooked up the correct way and vacuum leaks fixed, new motor mounts, and then all the other normal basic tune up and fluid replacements all around.

I have done minimal mods:
- 33" BFGs on 2.75" BS rims
- Aussie locker in the rear
- Rock sliders
- Trimmed front fenders, with firewall BFH treatment
- Bobbed the bed 16"


Next is power steering, as I have all the pump and box stuff waiting. But the front springs are completely shot. I plan to make a hybrid front/rear pack and do the steering at the same time. Then fix the super greasy and leaky knuckles and get a doubler and lower xfer gears.

I believe I can get fiberglass fender flares for the 79-83 Toyota truck if you are looking for them. Let me know if you are interested.

Don't hate. Participate. :flipoff2:

Diesel Runner: that is a nice looking vehicle! Did you get your 2LT-E from Jarco? Any pics of the swap itself? How's the head, or have you put a 3L head on it?

Also: that is a wicked sweet Surf posted. I swear, someday I WILL find myself a fender with that mirror on it for mine (probably the same time I find a 4 door body).

Don't know how I missed these two, but those are some nice looking diesel rigs!

Dan

I have the exact same little mirror for the fender. PM me with your email if your interested and I'll send you pics.
 
This rust free truck still has its original tan paint with factory labels. It has the usual dings and minor dents, but no rust. It is clean and tight.

Photos can be seen here: http://picasaweb.google.com/DirtyToySchool/Vintage1981ToyotaPickUp#

The engine is a 22R. It has a new Weber carburetor with electric choke. A new yellowtop Optima battery has been added too.

The transmission has been upgraded to a Marlin Crawler 5 speed L52HD model. The clutch, pressure plate, throw-out bearing, clutch master cylinder & slave cylinder were all replaced at the same time.

The transfer case has 4:1 gear ratio gears.

Both axles have been rebuilt with 4:88 gear ratios and ARB air lockers. The front axle also received 30 spline Longfield alloy axle shafts, alloy hub gears, ARP knuckle studs and hub studs. Various axle gussets and diff armor have been added too.

There is a new 2” suspension lift from NW Offroad with greasable frame eyes and shackles. Cross-over steering was added along with an IFS steering box and PSC power steering. Long travel shock hoops, Bilstein shocks, and U-bolt flip kits were added on both axles.

The 5 factory wheels were sandblasted and painted a Terra Cotta color. There are 5 new BFG KM Mud Terrain tires with siping (33”x10.5”x15”).

The front winch bumper has integrated turn signals and a Superwinch X9 winch. The custom rear step bumper has integrated recovery points.


Rock sliders to protect the rocker panels, and a dual roll bar and bed rack storage system. There is a lockable water-proof aluminum storage box in the bed that has been powdercoated.

The interior of this truck received a lot of attention. It has new ACC vinyl flooring, Corbeau “Moab” reclining seats, a Tuffy security console with locking compartments, a Cobra 25 CB (tuned and peaked), a Coverlay vinyl dash pad cover, new door and kick panels, and new seat belts. The rear window has been replaced with new factory glass from the dealer.

Its also got a new 60” Hi Lift Extreme jack and a new fully charged CO2 Powertank system.
