my 86 (new engine IN!! PICS up.)

[Yota-Freak]

nothing fancy has been done yet...just minor ad-ons and removing of some parts. Pics will be posted frequently

heres the 1st day i got it...it was running on 2 of the 4 cylinders (the rear cylinders didnt have a spark plugs) Best 900 bucks i spent. 4in rancho lift, nice sound system (i put the sub in) new rear end.


Still the 1st day, had to see what she had=) that would be a smirnoff bottle resting 6in's under the tire


Hate fender flares, so i striped em off and decided to put my pirate flag up=)



I repainted my truck (rattle can) over the Hercaliner, and added new flood lights


gave those other flood lights to Solar86 and got me some KC's for a b-day present to myself



Not even up to date...that front smitty has been sold and i have a stock one on now ( looks alot better) ill post soon;
also new 33x12.50R15 Toyo's M/Ts; i also wanna recut the rear rocker panel behind the rear tire...i messed up bad.




My new setup. Got a stock, 3 piece bumper (i think it looks cleaner)




Put my KC's about 6in's away from the grill. i plan on getting some sort of stinger that i can bolt to my frame to protect the lights

[Yota-Freak]

[Yota-Freak]

New doors and fenders



Cut them too (2wd fenders btw) Now i need to grind em

Before this, i about ripped my fenders off when i turned

[1985SR5]

Cool truck, looks like you got a project on your hands. What brand was that front tube bumper? I can't find one anywere?

[Yota-Freak]

hey thanks man=) its a Smittybilt. as is the rear. the front has been sold. the rear is still up for sale.

[Yota-Freak]

yeah bobbed the bed 10ins today=) my first bob ever! cut the front fenders more too...and ive re-bedlined the truck since the last time.

finished cutting



ok....kinda f-ed up on the passenger side...any suggestions on fixing it?? driver side is dead on



sides all welded up


rear end (gosh that passenger side is gross)

[Yota-Freak]

fixed the passenger side today (still need to weld more...ran out of wire and Argon)
same thing...need to weld more but overall looking great

Made some custom bumper brackets so now it doesnt hang down a mile and a half, and it protects stuff that needs protecting...unlike before (all it protected was thin air) final note...i have more clearance now too

[NorCalToy]

bumper looks a lot better sittin up higher. what was wrong with the pass sid bob?

[86rustbucket]

drag it along a tree it will look fine

[NotSoPC]

I got that same bumper but after my bob-job last weekend I put behind the shop and built a new cross member rear bumper hitch set up all in one, cleans it up nice. Good looking truck by the way I like the bed liner on the outside looks sweet.

[Yota-Freak]

hey thanks guys for the compliments=) i did fix the passenger side, the problem was it was at a horrible angle, but we cut it and straighten her out. yeah i like bumper up there too I HATED how it sat b4. yeah i gotta re-bed line it one more time, but i gotta finish welding and cut my fenders a little more...but thats AFTER i get my new engine....mine went out this last sunday=(

[Yota-Freak]

and id love to do an SAS...but you kno i have worse problems right now like I NEED AN ENGINE! plus its my DD....my friends are getting tired of me borrowing their cars lol.

[Yota-Freak]

UPDATE!!!!! So im not selling the yota!! im not giving up on it. my old man and i pulled the engine and tranny today. the problem was..tranny was doin something way werid (pushin clutch pedal while truck was in gear and the truck would ingage! the truck would actually go forward, let out on clutch...truck would act as if it was in neutral.) turns out, a bolt behind the fly wheel shot out and lodged itself between the housing and another bolt, wish i had pics cuz ive never seen anything like that. it was to cold to take pics. anywho impacted all the bolts back in (they were finger tight...back yard mechanics before us i guess) and the tranny is as good as new=) gunna acid dip it and get it back to bling bling. i ordered a rebuild kit for the engine. all should be done by next weekend

[THK Matt]

rockin son

[Yota-Freak]

hells yes, im gunna get new brakes as well..and since the trannys out were gunna replace all the u-joints and i got a HD clutch

[THK Matt]

niceeeee

[twistedtoy92]

GET ER DUN!

[Yota-Freak]

yeah im pumped. ive been with out my truck for way to long. so i wanna clean the tranny really well. i have some Hydrochloric Acid..but not much. so im thinking of soking it in coca-cola. what are your opinons on that? i kno..coke is good..but its going to a good cause. also wanna clean my engine after its assembled along with the radiator.
