Hey whats up guys.... Just a brief history about me and toys.I've been around mini trucks almost all my life, but I never really took interest in em'. I learned to drive on a POS 1986 hilux with a home made flatbed. I sold it to go on a class trip!. I have owned a bunch of cars since than and recently decided it was time to build a truck. so heres the beater i picked up. Its a 90 toy with a 20r,5speed trans,and low ratio rear(I havent checked what the gearing is yet and the previous owner didnt know).I got the truck with a really bad rattle can paintjob so i camo'd it till i figure out what color im gonna paint it..lol. Anyway I'm mainly here to learn,share and talk toyota.
thanks for the compliments guys. the truck came with the 20r swapped in already. It also came with a nice longstack LC header, but other than that its pretty much stock. As for build plans im just gonna fix all the cancer on her cause shes got rust. I wouldnt mine a set of mikuni sidedrafts and a cam in the near future.
hey man , nice looking truck, when you put your 89-91 4x4 grill on , did you need the headlight bezels? what did you need to do to convert to 89-91 4x4 grill? thanks
yeah your going to need the left and right bezels. I think the 2wd corner lights should work with the 4x4 grille. If you got a good junkyard near you just pick up a whole 4x4 front end. im not 100% sure but i think 2wd grilles are one piece. I thought I knew alot about trucks but i have realized i have alot to learn since i picked up this beater. Its to bad I might have to sale it to finish my project car.
I almost missed the truck in the pics...heh. Nice camo job, I had a '71 Datsun B110 I did that to years ago with spray cans I bought from Long Beach Surplus. Nice truck, welcome to the group. James
cool , i dont wanna spend too much money , im trying to get just the grill i dont really care too much about the fenders and bumper, i think i can probably get the grill and headbezels for 30-40 at a junk yard, there are 7-10 junk yards near me what car is your project? i always wanted a s13 , i am tired of my honda, rwd ftw
^thanks james, this was actually my first camo job. Its a rattlecan camo paint from the local hardware store. akacoke, my project car is a Z32 twin turbo. Im tired of looking at it in my garage. But selling my toy is a last resort. Im really having alot of fun with this truck.
