Doesn't anybody like early models?

[Murderman]

Early Toyos rule! :xflipoff1

[Mike]

I had a '90 and a '91. Not exactly early, but wheeled both!

Later,
....Mike

[Murderman]

I always thought of "early" as pre-'86; i.e. SFA. :xrocker:

[Crash]

I would love to have a 85 4 runner. The last year with a SFA and EFI.

[Murderman]

I have spent so many miles in the seat of my '83 that I don't think the Heep will ever catch up. That was one tough son of a gun. :wipes a slight tear from eye:

How do I get more smilies?

Early Toyos rule! :xflipoff1

Thats why I wanted to mod this folder. I have an 84 in the garage waiting to go skyward:)

[Murderman]

Low is good; it sounds like this folder will have first rate mods.

Ha ha ha "low is good!" why did I expect that, LOL, whatever you do Ask John to explain things before we start drinking! Sometimes John forgets that we are not all engineers, so we get lost after "this is how it works..." :boobies: & :xbeer1:

[Murderman]

Often times the most creative solutions come after a :xbeer1: or three.

[Morouse]

John I still have not came to a resoniable conclusion as to HOW you can still throw such a pretty bead with your friend helping out, LOL , you Know good ole Jack! Just ribbin on you man, so we need to get together for some thing, I will be heading to houston SAturday, I am going pick up a Kayak in Stafford. BTW what are your opinons on inch worm gear? they have a crawler box for like 600 bucks for early toys, Chanche is looking into it.

[Murderman]

so we need to get together for some thing, I will be heading to houston SAturday

Mike, I am a bachelor again this weekend, come on by. I have a class Sat AM until about noon, but am open after that. If you need a place to crash, we have a guest room; I will just need to clear my hunting gear up a bit. My cell is (713) 825-0335.

[Morouse]

I feel so shitty for not calling, I was halfway back to Austin by the time I remembered to call you, I had just bought a new Kayak, and was too anxious to get back to the lake with it, I know like a damn kid, all I could think of was getting to the lake, I was a man on a mission, I will be heading down there soon, I will take you up on that offer for a place to crash, if it is still open after I stood you up, thanks again for the offer though!

[STOMPER]

I got one.

Very nice!

[TQM3 (Last IFS in AZ)]

My son has a T100, it has been a good truck!

[tech96]

I just picked up a 94 T-100 for the motor. If your son needs any parts let me know. The motor, trans/transfer case and steering box are taken but everything else is for sale. I am in the Dallas area.

[TQM3 (Last IFS in AZ)]

Reg cab or ext cab?

[Schuey2002]

1985 single cab (longbed) 4x4's rock!!

Here's a pic of a friend's beater Yota..

Is that you, Tim? This is going to be weird getting used to the new names.

[Valkyrie]

It's gotta be him- what are the odds? This is weird- it's like I transferred to another High School & am now in college running into the old gang- everyone looks different, there's different groups, different classes.. it's been a little disorienting for me:)

[Valkyrie]

Is that you, Tim? This is going to be weird getting used to the new names.
You know, I'll bet it's Bill, he is storing the T-100...

[Marc M]

Here is a pic of mine just after I painted it. It's currently sitting on a rotted frame, next to it's new frame which I have started the SAS, well I torched off the IFS if you can call that a start.

[tech96]

It's me Bill. I don't know if the guy from AZ was asking me if it is a reg cab. I am trying to get used to this forum.

[TQM3 (Last IFS in AZ)]

Yes this is the guy from az, is it a reg or ext cab (the T100)

[Murderman]

It's me Bill. I don't know if the guy from AZ was asking me if it is a reg cab. I am trying to get used to this forum.

Yeah, I saw Tim's same old screename on the list. Good to "meet" you, I'm John.

It is a standard cab. This truck was on E-Bay last month. I needed the motor for my 95 4Runner (my #6 cylinder is running 90lbs.). Tim and me made the trek to houston to pick it up the week before Thanksgiving. If you go to E-Bay the pictures might still be there.

[83srtoy]

Yeah i have me an 83' awaiting the install of AOR springs sitting in my room, and the 14" Bilsteins to go in. I'm in the process of putting in my 5.29's, Long Feild Birfields, Detroit rear, loc-rite front and a buddy is making me a ridiculously strong cross over set up he has on his 86 SAS. My marlin dual t-case adapter is some where in the works of being ordered and i plan to run 38x14.50x15 TSL/SX's or 39x13.50x15 IROK's. OH yeah i just bought a complete EFI system from a Celica for $150.00 well minus the Bosch fuel pump and wiring harness that i need to order. I cant rely on damn Webber carb i have. I should've kept the stock carb for the troubles the Webber gives me. Yeah it's been a 2 yr project so far.LOL. And going............

My sons truck got clobbered by a deer, he needs a bed and a driver side fender. (missed the cab) We might be interested in picking up those parts. Let me know if you are going to part it. E-mail me off board.
Thanks!
Tom

[dign_in]

I've had an '88, '90, and a '91, all were 2wd though. They all ran like a tank, unstoppable! Thats before I got bit by the 4x bug...

No kidding, When I see a new truck running a trail on two cylinders then I will believe again. LOL It was a 85 4 runner with a crawler.

[trd2001]

Mike, I am looking for one, anything you recommend to look out for? Most likely a 22re then SFA it.

I feel your pain; this is what I did to my '83 a couple months after buying it back in 1985. At least I still have some drivetrain parts from it in my Heep. :D

ouch! what caused that?

or rather, how did you roll it?

[Murderman]

Offroading in a blinding rainstorm at the age of 19, and dropped the left front tire off the edge of about a 14' tall ledge running parallel to the trail....that'll do it every time.

I'm getting an 81 from my uncle fo free. Woo Hoo! The taco gets to be even more of a mall runner while I beat this thing.

[Live4yotas]

I have an 83' I got from the a guy I work with who bought the truck new in 83'. I was able to get the truck for free. It's the coolest looking old yota I have seen. It was bought brand new with a rebel flag covering the whole hood with stars and blue and white stripes going down the sides. It called the rebel 4x4 addition came with a rollbar and a brushguard. The motor recently crapped out on me I bought a 302 a c6 trans and a 205 transfer case. I have allready got my motor mounts and I'am about to order my new leaf springs and a 3" body lift so the trans doesn't hit the floor of the truck.

[chrisryn64]

I love my old '84

200,000 miles and going strong

Nothing like the SFA

I've since put 31" tires on it, gonna try to fix some of the rust next, cause it sure has a lot of it. It's a beast off road though.

Oh no man get that thing out of here! j/k lol, But seriously, I think the first gens, pre 84 are so badass... the 84+ are too but the older ones have the body look going for them. I have an 86 thats ok... and my buddy has an 83 that is a pretty badass trail rig with a flatbed and lots o lift with 35's and lockers its cool to watch him haul ass around in his short tall little pickup that sounds like it going to explode cause of the "custom" glass pack exhaust. I love it..

[BMWTACO]

I've owned them all. 77 fj40,82,84,86,87,89,91,93,95.5,2 98's . The old trucks kick ass. I still have my 89 minitruck, a restored 79fj40, and my girl has a 00 4runner sport. Picking up my new 05 tacoma extracab tonight. Everything in my household is a toyota with a transfer case as of tonight.
