jeremys $600 1st gen buy

[coods]

buddys 1979 toyota that he bought for 600 bucks pretty much its as stock as they come it has as far as we can tell like a 2" lift on it and some bald tsl's its gonna be a budget build but its gonna be fun.  he doesnt give a crap about the body so i dont see that stayin to straight for long

the plan mostly in order
rebuild motor (crank with bearings should be back in few days already sent it in)
weld the rear
tires. he is thinking 35 or 36's
move rears up front
new shackles front and rear
nice long rear springs aka 63's or something close
hysteer
front locker
dual cases
some tube work ( front bumper, sliders, exo)
"longfields" if he wins the lottery or robs a bank

[jimbo74]

[86turboyota]

nice!

[coods]

ya he is pretty excited about it. . he has been looking for awhile found it on craigs and couldnt pass it up

[coods]

heres some pics off the front axle before we started removing stuff. and of the rear and some of the sweet things on the truck like really beefy shackles and cool welds

[86turboyota]

thats horrific

[coods]

so finally got the motor in and running had to wait cause he had to save up for a clutch. but in the mean time we got both the front and the rear welded up. so hopefully after a little of a break in we will have some wheelin pics up. he is really lookin forward to goin wheelin with it.

sweet truck . im going to try 56" stock tacoma springs for rears

[Gittinit]

this truck has the 82/83 headlight and grill along with the short truss on the front axle...are you shure its a 79?

[coods]

it was hit in the front at one time in its life. so it has a front end conversion on it. which in my opinion is pointless cause i like the round headlights better.  cant explain the front axle

i got a buddy jeremy that bought a 1st gen like a month ago for 700 buck but his was white and only needed to get the motor wired up haha but good luck ill be keepin a eye on this build

[toyotanner]

what a pile. haha just kidding i'm betting 1st trip out he is gonna break a birfield and throw a rod.

[coods]

  spent yesterday messin around with it. pretty much all we had to do is put all the fuses in and redo one connection and everything works on it.  even added some fog lights to it and put some nice buckets into it

[coods]

so we took it wheelin last night and it did pretty good. he needs some tires but other then that it did really good
