You wouldnt believe it but its real. The truck has since been secured and locked up heavily, but there was a 6 month period it sat in my frony yard uncovered. There were also other items such as the stock rims and bumper that was taken as well. Probably a transient or riff raff using it for scrap metal.

 

The truck is a 92, but the start of the project I cut the front clip back to the firewall and installed a 95 4runner front end on. I wanted to run HID lights and the 92s didnt have what I wanted. Not to mention, the original radiator support was chopped up for my previous intercooler and just looked nasty. I also designed a quick disconnect wiring harness using BMW connectors and did an engine bay tuck at the same time. All the electrical and fuse locations are under the dash now.

 

beamer connects nice touch bet wiring them was a bit$h

 

I built the harness from scratch using hundreds of feet of wire and the 25 pin BMW connectors. It was a puzzle to match the Toyota schematics to the new harness, but it all worked out. It is Fn sick. Too bad its hidden...lol

 

Got a drift day on the 24th, skid pad. If I get my drive shaft and brake line in time I will tow the truck up drift it ! Hope fully, eh !

 

Make a video of it drifting, are you from cali?

 

Bay Area, northern California. Yeah

 

Here i am almost 2 years later. Havent been here in a while but I'm sure there is plenty of people around still.

I just finished the motor, im waiting on a new trAnsmission now.

 

Crazy. lol

There's a '91 302 on Craigs' in my area. When I saw the title I ran in to see if it was the same truck! lol

 

Awesome build man! Update us more often!

You're building my dream truck, and I'm sure a few others, so don't b a stranger.

I'm in Sacramento... where are you located?

 

Thanks man. Im in Concord, about 45 minutes from you.

When i finish the turbo setup youll have to come down and check it out, we can go play in it. Or you can find me out at a track playing in it.

 

I just realized i never uploaded pics other than the original post. Wow. Heres a Few to share, these are all pre turbo (drivetrain is out now to do the turbos)

 

anyone hear or seen any updates on this build??

 

I wish!

Would love to see some video of this truck...

Maybe when I get to a point where a motor swap is in my near future, ill head out to concord and hunt this guy down, lol.

 

Thats the point im at right now lol. Had a question on how he ran theht5 trans in his truck since toyota is hydrolic and the t5 trans (if from the foxbody) is cable

 

They sell hydro conversions... but expensive.

I'm sure you could look at the mustangs setup and modify the yota to use it..

 

Lookd into it, problem im seeing is the yota uses a single line system. The mustang coversion kit uses a dual line.

 

Where there is a will, there is a way

Maybe Erik will reply someday and give us his #?

 

Or you could buy the JTR conversion manual... ill buy it off you when you're done.

 

Im here.

I replied to a PM with my number.
