Took my 87 4x4 to work today and on the way home loaded her up with a ton of wood for the deck I'm building. Man I love how the older Yota 4bys handle loads!

 

put my bed at my grandmas house for safe keeping until the floor gets raised and i can put it on the truck. planned on driving it tonight but its blocked in the garage. i'll drive it tomorrow.

 

pulled engine bay harness and cleared the fenders to cut them out next week.

 

Moved it into the garage again to get the front end all done, finally. Hopefully. Guess I drove it 20 feet also then, haha.

 

Nice.
I need to drop my exhAust again
it's a little too short causing it to sit low
drags on my driveway

 

failed at mounting my door solenoids.

 

Went to Nastyville, a local show put on by Nasty Habitz. Entered the truck in the best stereo catagory. Last time I do that. All they wanted to know was who had the loudest bass. But I had the cleanest sounding and best install. The car that won was a Civic that had no clarity and rattled like a tin can.

 

LOL I was at a light yesterday on my way to work and I kept hearing this dude's license plate rattle on his trunk. The screws were loose from the bass in his trunk, so it made a serious racket from the outside! I just roll my eyes at those guys... loud for the sake of being loud. Clean = better.

 

Wiped down the driver side with my chamois. i forgot that i really liked the color i painted it

 

Today I loaded up my truck with my friend's two 18" Advan Type 6 wheels I believe. Then his two bumpers for his Z, and a bunch of other suspension and exhaust parts. Moved it to his new place.

After that, I fixed a hella ding i found on my fender. then I hammer clearanced some more of the left fender.


went crazy, pulled bumpstops out.
i scrubbed.

trimmed the top nub of the bumpstops off. threw em back on. damn studs rusted and broke off. That's right, they aren't ****n bolted down. hell yeahh. Anyway, I have about 2mm between the frame and bumpstops. gives it some travel and prevents it from scrubbing my treads off. I'm at a happy medium.

 

Cleaned the interior after getting it painted, installed the fatmat, then cut the carpet and got that installed also, Now I am holding a beer, and a spray can to paint my Supra AFM

 

I drove it to Bakersfield for summer madness drug a hole in my muffler an lost a bolt from my exhaust manifold causing an exhaust leak good news only used a tank of gas there an back

 

Yesterday, I loaded my bed front to back with nasty, icky trash and drove it to the dump where I specified that I was only dumping the trash and keeping the truck...

 

Nice! Now both of our manifolds miss a nut. How long was the drive?

put her to use!

 

did nothin but take pics of my new bed trying to figure out how to raise the floor. anyone know?

 

the bed is mounted to the truck via the floor.... in basic terms.

Frame mount>>bed mount>>floor>> the rest of the bed.

So when you raise it, you will need to extend where the bed mounts were.

the part you cut will be the inner walls.

This is from what I see on my own bed.

 

you don't have an 84-88 though, correct? the 89+ were all double wall beds.

 

true... i has 94

 

yah, your truck is completely different.

 

the drive was probably around 5 hours there an then back took way longer my club presidents truck broke down damn fords haha only thing else that happened to me was I drug threw my rear valve wires so I was driving with no rear valves an didn't notice til I tried to drop it at the show haha
I calculated tht I got almost 29 mpg not bad for havin over 184000 miles
