All my brake parts came in as well.


I scored on some headlights. They say Sylvania Performance where as mine say Sylvania Halogen. Anyone know the difference?

lights look much better.

 

Looks much better with the lenses.

 

Hey awesome truck!! Were u get urtonnae cover I need one for a 87 pickup

 

If you want to sell those other tails, pm me a price! Lol.

 

Thanks. Amazon or Extang.com

DAAAANNNNGGG I threw them away man. Garbage got taken yesterday to. Sorry buddy.

Looks good.Not sure on the difference between performance and halogen.Since you have the lights out give those headlight buckets a quick paint job.Those rust out pretty quick.Have you tried on some mud flaps.I think they make the truck sexier when following from behind.Just my opinion.

 

Head light bucket? Is that the black thingy behind the light?

I want some mud flaps fo sho fo sho!

Brakes DONE. Better stopping and no squeaking. Oh and the E-brake feels nice and stiff just like the 4Runner.

After

New drums



Gonna be digging into the heater issue pretty soon...I need the heat to work in this truck. Gonna check for clogged heater core, air bubbles in the cooling system, thermostat.... anything else I should check?

Other than no heat I have no issues. Everything works just like it's suppose to. Averaging 23mpg's right now. I'm sure I could bring that number up significantly by adjusting my driving style....but it's fun...lol

Check your heater linkage cable it maybe jamming up under the dash or lost its support strap and under the hood two on your heater supply lines for binding cable

 

Damn.. roni your truck is going to be bullet proof by the time your done!!! Let me know when your going to the timing chain....As I need mines done as well! LOL

 

Looking good Roni.

 

Thanks guys. The linkage cables seemed fine. Picked up a new thermostat at Bap and whatya know...the old thermostat was gone! Literally only one small piece of the top was left. While I was at it I flushed some water through the heater core. Bunch of rusty water came out! Now the heater works great. Thanks for the input Scrub88.

Kahuna - I would like to get in both of my 22re timing chains and replace the plastic timing chain guides to the metal ones. Haven't had any problems with mine YET but I know it's inevitable.


So with the heater working KT agreed to a little trip to South Mountain. It's a fun a$$ drive up but now there's all these wanna be cop ranger guys handing out tickets to all the car clubs and bikers that like to enjoy the ride up. I was trying to have some fun on the way up but stupid VW guy got in the way right when we started recording uughgh....I'll post a the short video once it's uploaded. Here is a few pics.





So polluted...I hate PHX.....
