well you know what to do for some flames at the next cruise / show.. lol

atleast its running so now it feels more like a working, soon to be moving truck!

 

Yeah. A combination of thick tire smoke and blue flames.

 

Very nice. Sounds great. Gonna be real nice all cleaned up and on the road

 

Finally completed trimming the trucks body harness of unneeded wiring. Need to wrap everything. Also cut the hood to install my new latching hood pins. It was a pita.


Now I'm gonna strip the hood and prime it.

 

Always liked the aerocatch latches. Looking good

 

I like those latches too. Keep up the good work.

 

Thanks guys. I alway liked them. Just never had the nerve to cut up a hood.
Aircraft paint remover FTW!!!

 

Things are looking good, man!

 

just clear it lol.

 

Haha!! No Thanks.

Just received my new corner lights. Never seen these on other 84-88 minis. Test fitted them with the shrink wrap still on.





Also ordered a complete 1uz 5 speed conversion kit from ToyotaV8.com instead of piecing together a kit with my current aluminum adapter plate. This kit has everything I need and their plate is made of steel.



Waiting for my MOPAR fender indicator lights to be delivered.



I've always liked these oldschool details and I think they will look good on the truck. Many old toyotas sported them in the 80'S / 90's.

 

where did you get the corners from? the signal lights are a nice touch!

 

Thanks, I bought the corner off ebay from this guy....

Blank key, Exterior Parts items in iyaikub store on eBay!

He had them in 2wd and 4wd versions

 

I believe those corners are found on Japanese and Australian Hiluxes (that's where I've seen them, in Australia).
I'll probably order some for my truck!

Other wise, that truck looks great with the latches and corners on!

 

^ yeah, that guy always has some cool parts for japanese cars. All new aftermarket. I ordered parts from him for my old corollas in the past. Always happy with them.

 

Thanks for the link, I like the way they look and stick out a tad. How long was the wait from that guy? I need new corners anyway lol.

 

Yeah, that's what I like too. They also hold two bulbs so one bulb can be wired as a blinker.

I paid for them on 1/15 and received them yesterday. So, 2 weeks.

 

thats not too bad of a wait time then. ive ordered stuff from the other side of the pond before that ive forgotten about until it arrived lol. then again it wasnt any car/truck parts lol.

 

^ They are worth the wait. They are aftermarket and they went alittle overboard with the sealant. I had to trim off some of the excess but still very happy with the cornerlights.

I installed one of the upper fender indicators and instantly wished I mounted them about 4 inches more forward.



I really want a set of these LED headlights. Trying to decide which look best on this truck.








Maybe go projector.....



They are pretty expensive so I'm gonna focus on the things I need to get this truck on the road for now.

 

Had no idea they maid those ^ I like the bottom ones with the simple projector but wonder what the top ones look like lit up there a little busy lookin tho might be over kill on the front of a Old skewl Toyota

 

I think I too like the look of the last light pictured.

However, I'd sure like to see what that LED set-up could do at night! I bet the light output is fantastic.
