In Stillwater, Ok I have a 1982 Toyota basically stock but I thought I would jump on board this Friends of Marlin while I have the new transmission on the way.

very nice. any plans for it yet?

StillH2O_Toy · « **Reply #153 on:** Mar 29, 2007, 11:23:52 AM »

Plans are essentially just to keep it going on down the road, it has been in the family since it was new. I might start building on it in earnest in a little while being that my Dad just offered to sell me his 94 4Runner.

Real nice truck

StillH2O_Toy · « **Reply #155 on:** Mar 29, 2007, 02:12:23 PM »

Much appreciated it has really been a damn good truck. Many more years to come.

A little of both. It has been wheeled early on up to Creede, CO and the continental divide a couple of times. Survived my early years of abusive driving/wheeling. A little restoration and repaint after I got tagged at an intersection by a jeep at the end of high school.

hey did youget the L52HD

i

mine

StillH2O_Toy · « **Reply #159 on:** Apr 01, 2007, 09:31:02 AM »

Yup I ordered the HD. I guess a little forward thinking if I do perform any major mods and I don't plan on selling it so why not get a transmission that will go the distance no matter what. How long have you had your HD?

Wow small world. If you ever make it up here to visit let me know. I'm in Paragould, which is bout 20 mins north from Jonesboro.

Brenjen · « **Reply #175 on:** Mar 05, 2008, 11:06:42 AM »

North central Arkansan here; Searcy to be exact. Although this state is beginning to drive me nuts with it's BS gates & lack of public lands for use twelve months a year & the dry counties.....it has been my home for about thirty-five years & I am very fond of parts of it. I've only had a Toyota for a little over a year (yes my first) & I love it nearly as much as my old Dodges. I'm a Yota-Tech transplant, dirtoyboy keeps telling me to come over here because of the lameness of certain aspects of YT, so here I am. $Beer Chug\'n$

ajordan1975 · « **Reply #176 on:** Mar 05, 2008, 01:56:29 PM »

what's up? good to have ya

Brenjen · « **Reply #177 on:** Mar 05, 2008, 02:59:23 PM »

Not much at all, I have done a little lite work to my 4Runner, rear springs & HD Bil shocks to fix butt sag, OME steering dampener, went to Aisin hubs from ADD hubs, rebuilt the idler arm & PS pump, water pump & timing kit installed when I bought it last year. I'm preparing to put in a front end kit I got off e-Bay, good seller seem to be moog parts, all four ball joints, tie rod ends w/new sleeves, idler arm & pitman arm; all for a couple hundred bucks. I have some beck arnley premium rotors, EBC geen pads, OME long travel shocks & SDORI BJ spacers waiting to go on as well. As soon as I can get my hands on some Koyo wheel bearings I'm going to get started on that project & get all these parts out of my living room floor.

Then hopefully I'm on to a IFS truss from Sonoran steel (bought a Total Chaos truss but it wasn't long enough & had to sell it for a loss) & some Bud built armor, 4crawler sliders & a Marlin rear bumper. The front bumper has got me stumped though, I like the look of the ARB but the cost makes me weak in the knees & I hear to mount the ARB on a Gen2 requires modification. Then I'd like to pop a couple ARB lockers front & rear, on board air & eventually (maybe never but I want it).....a Total Chaos long travel IFS set-up.
