whats up guys my name is Tyler. I am from the Fall City/Seattle area. I just got my first toyota 2wd mini truck in the making, its a 79 std cab with a 20r under the hood, im fairly sure its an sr5 model because of the 5 speed gearbox and sunroof lol. I got it for free belive it or not and it runs! I will post up pictures when i officially have it in my driveway. Just wanted to say whats up and i will be on here quite a bit
Dude, come out to the show tomorrow in seattle and check stuff out. I always like having more local people around. Whats the plans with the truck? Got pics?
Plans for the tuck are get it as low as I possibly can without bagging it. Go through the motor and possibly run a 20/22r hybrid with a 35 shot of nitrous with a webber carb. Fix a lot of rust and clean the hell out of it. I would come but I already have plans for tommorow but you should definately keep me in the loop about meets and stuff. I work at the firestone on mlk way in seattle if you ever want to stop by
Sweet. Theres a few guys in king county. I'm up in snohomish county. I feel ya about the motor and the build plan. You'll learn alot about suspensions if you read around here. Meets are gonna happen every 6-8ish weeks it seems. Theres another old car/truck show in a couple weeks. Post some pics
That's tight man I love older cars/trucks and I have been reading about suspensions and ish around and there is tons of useful stuff on here and I actually read your build thread before I registered here on the site which I must say your truck is impressive. I like to keep the old school feel of the rig I think I might even throw a set of whitewalls on the truck lol. I will take a ton of pictures tomorow when its finally in my drive way, got to clean it cause its nbeen sitting for 9 years but still fires right up.... gotta love the toyota motors lol
Alright so here's what's up... my dang camera broke so I am trying to get it fixed so I can post up some pics.... dammed electronics lol
Welcome to TM! since you got her for free (lucky), you should have some bucks to drop into her. Good luck. Sha Shoot
Not yet but trust me I will... I got really lucky on it because it is free for one ... it runs for two and it comes with an entire engine reseal kit from lcengineering so I got work to do on it for now including dropping it to the ground lol but I will be restoring her and building up the engine along the way
i most definately am gunna take tons of pics i am so stoked to be back behind the wheel of a toyota pickup.. this is my first 2wd tho. as soon as i get my camera back up and running i will have tons of picks for yall.... im even waiting to pressure wash it till i can take pics of it from before lol...
