My Toyota Build Thread:::SOLD:::

1985 Toyota SR5 Long Bed 4x4 with a carb

I bought this truck in Dec 06, the po had a 350 v8 and hacked everything,wiring, brake lines, rad support.

Plans:
22re
duel cases
lockers
int cage
maybe a exo cage




Here is the first day




First things first, stripped the int. and the complete wiring harness
I bought a complete harness from a EFI 4runner. and installed

And then i bought some parts


next was the springs
Front- I made a pack out of toyota rears and mazda rears it gave me about 5 inches of lift and tons of flex, and a TG flip kit

Rear- I used a set of 56 inch ford rear springs and 2 inch blocks and i made some longer shackles, and a TG flip kit

Next was the bed i cut 13 inches out of the bed to make it the same size as a short bed so i could use a camper shell, i also had to cut 9 inches out of the rear frame and add a new crossmember

here you can see all of the above
My buddy helping me cut the bed.




Next was the High Steer and Ifs Box
Because i used the rear spring up front, it moved the front axle forward about 2.5 inches so i had to move the steering box forward 2.5 inches.
I had to cut off the old mount and clean the frame and weld the new one in
On trucks that are going to be on a lot of rocks its good to use a high steer so the front leafs kinda protect the steering arms



Next I took off the bed so i could get better access to the gas tank area to mount the new EFI tank


Sway likes it so far


Update 1-30-08

Redid the front flip kit, installed the rear gas tank, and tail lights harness


and here is a shot on how the rear double shackle works, when the one side of the axle goes in a hole or up a rock the second shackle drops down farther so the wheel still has some bite



here is how she sits right now


Update- 1-31-08

First thing i did was mess around with the bed, I ground down the welds and primed and then sprayed undercoating



Then spent alot of the day looking for parts, i found the dizzy, and coil,and some misc sensors
and installed the Header


Then installed some rock lights in the rear



And here are some parts trucks i have to pull brackets,nuts, bolts,ECT




Update 2-7-08

Worked on the intake and egr got them cleaned up and bolted up
Next is the engine harness and vac. lines




As the build goes on i will add to this first post
