I think I would go with a toyota logo over a T4R logo as it would fit the pickups as well, no need to narrow your target market. I think it would be a great idea, lots of people have welders, not to many with heavy brakes and plasma capabilities though. I would suggest the upper tube portion...

strapped in with the magazine out I don't see why not.

sorry for the tread jack but wow 93toy that runner in your avatar looks sweet, where can I find more pics of it?

I don't see parts for the 22re being that hard to find any time soon, in fact they seem rather abundant. If you are wanting to do any type of road trip in this runner I would suggest a full rebuild of a motor not just the top end and as you stated squeeze a little more hp out of it. LCE has...

I plan to take mine to Dan's Toy Shop in Tucson to see if they can get it fit enough to pass emissions. So far they have been quite good with any Toyota problems I have brought them. You might give them a call and see if they think it is something they could work out for you.

that's too bad man, maybe ask a toyota specialty shop before giving up hope. I feel your pain though I am in Tucson and have to deal with the same non-sense. Quite a few of my friends live outside city limits I am tempted to register it at one of their houses to just skip the emissions all...

tons of places sell the full set of tabs etc for the swap, I know sky offroad makes one as well as All Pro, I also think a vendor on here makes a kit, addictive offroad.

to shorten an axle you have to get the shaft re-splined or find a shorter one that fits and cut your housing that size. Getting it re-splined is not cheap, but if you can cut, shorten, and safely weld the housing yourself the whole process isn't too bad. I would stay toyota though unless you...

why are there bags on the truck? Is it to get it lower like a mini truck with a link setup or are they like helper bags for towing? If you want to find the problem start narrowing down the possible suspects one at a time. For instance hook an air fitting directly to the bag and a shop...

oh my. That is a sick runner!

There are still a few vacuum lines that need to be sorted out but I will deal with that in a bit. Today I took out all the seats so that my upholstery guy can come pick them up tomorrow. The front seats are pretty bad and will need foam repair but the back seats weren't too bad. I am having...

hurdle one was to get it running again. The head had been redone and there were fresh gaskets, studs, timing belt, etc. Since it was all apart I also replaced a few little tings like the thermostat, tensioner, a few hoses here and there. I also ditched the gigantic air filter box and replaced...

here she is

So a little back story on this truck, I got it from a friends tow yard after it went unclaimed. I got it for a smoking deal, mostly due to the fact that half of the motor was in the back seat of the runner. Someone had started to do a head job on it and gave up part way through, at least that...

haha I was just wondering the same thing. Looks great though!
