little early for this but thinkon about an partial exo. So my question is which fender do you guys like better?

minicrawlin · « **Reply #64 on:** Jan 10, 2010, 09:05:16 PM »

ya through the coolant system since thats where the combo of that oil and coolant went. . . just a quick start and then drain then water, drain, then coolant. pretty sure thats how it goes but i'd double check JIC. I dig the first fender with the more cut looks dope!

i like the first one better

yota_krawler · « **Reply #66 on:** Jan 10, 2010, 09:09:20 PM »

i like the first pic to, but thats alot of fender gone.

P-DiseToy24 · « **Reply #67 on:** Jan 10, 2010, 09:20:00 PM »

1st for sure

Travis H · « **Reply #68 on:** Jan 10, 2010, 09:37:44 PM »

i like the first one better, but if it was my truck i wouldn't cut it like that. personally i like to only cut as much as necessary.

Dingman. · « **Reply #69 on:** Jan 10, 2010, 10:42:38 PM »

Eh just pull the fenders off and tube it.

89sastoyo · « **Reply #70 on:** Jan 11, 2010, 10:12:21 AM »

cheaipest way to clean parts is use oven cleaner you can get it a dollar stores and

. I used it on my t case when I got it and some other parts there were just covered in 90 wieght. Just spray it on let it sit for a bit and hose it off. I works really really well with a pressure washer if you have one but if not a regular hose works to.

IronClad · « **Reply #71 on:** Jan 11, 2010, 10:14:56 AM »

please for the love of god dont cut your fenders like in the first pic.. its ugly as

and serves absolutely no purpose what so ever on a leaf sprung truck

Yota87Truck · « **Reply #72 on:** Jan 11, 2010, 12:12:54 PM »

I like the lower pic. I especially like the top exo dissapering into the fender. But I do like the straight cut fender. Maybe just bring it lower to the peak of the arc. Make a combination of the two...

yota_krawler · « **Reply #73 on:** Jan 11, 2010, 02:53:10 PM »

it wont be leaf spung its whole life.

yota_krawler · « **Reply #74 on:** Jan 12, 2010, 05:11:06 PM »

got the head down to jim putney today. got more problems than anticipated. the timing chain guids were bad so there are massive grooves in the cover, it wore through and thats why i had milk in the top end. So i have to get new guides and a new front cover. The head gasket was slighly blown but it was a felpro so thats a good reason why. It got hot and I am hoping the head is not warped.

ya i went down there today. He worked for toyota for 15 years plus or something like that. He builds anything toy. And will build as far as he can if you got the cash

ToYocRawleR · « **Reply #77 on:** Jan 14, 2010, 08:59:59 AM »

Thats sweet cody! Are you getting your whole motor rebuilt or just the top end?

yota_krawler · « **Reply #78 on:** Jan 14, 2010, 11:50:38 AM »

just the top end, im just getting it to run again. If i were to spend money on a motor it wont be on an 22re!

Befroe I went to work I started to drop the oil pan. EVERY bolt was finger tight.

guess i have to go through this thing and tighten everytthing up.

yota_krawler · « **Reply #79 on:** Jan 16, 2010, 09:11:07 PM »

almost have the front cover off. picked up a spare tire yesterday and was going to drill and tap my box but didnt end up doing it.

yota_krawler · « **Reply #80 on:** Feb 01, 2010, 12:52:51 AM »

so now that i know what tranny i have, what case i have. I know what to do for duals.

Moving on. So My rear axle is bent. I am going to attempt to try and straighten it. The guy who had it before me welded on a ubolt eliminator kit. I think the heat warped the alxe. The ends of the axle are bent up so the tires sit like

/----@----\ Not that bad but you get the idea. If it doesnt work I am going to sell the third and shafts and get a rear 60

yota_krawler · « **Reply #81 on:** Feb 04, 2010, 01:40:52 PM »

i ordered a magnaflow hi flow cat awhile back and it finally came yesterday. Hella stoked, I ordered it from summit. We will see if it passes

yota_krawler · « **Reply #82 on:** Feb 10, 2010, 12:30:55 AM »

well if i cant get the rear straight i will be sellin the third.

yota_krawler · « **Reply #83 on:** Feb 11, 2010, 12:17:12 AM »

so i started to paint it today i got the hood and front fenders, not sure if i like it tho. It is flat khaki. I cant find my camera or i ould take a pic. maybe i can get mike to take one tomorrow.

edit: same color as LBs old taco

yota_krawler · « **Reply #84 on:** Feb 11, 2010, 12:27:34 AM »

i was going to paint it that color but i like the tan better, i wanted something flat. I painted my s10 and i had gloss blue and it turned out like

. some of it didnt gloss, so flat was it. i like the color i just need to finish the whole truck. just the front done it doesnt look right

Travis H · « **Reply #85 on:** Feb 11, 2010, 01:13:12 AM »

cool i like the idea of doing the 2nd gen sr5 stripe things, also good choice on color.

Dingman. · « **Reply #86 on:** Feb 11, 2010, 10:02:36 AM »

The tan was kinda sweet..

Once you started getting the truck muddy, the contrast from the mud made the truck look grey.

yota_krawler · « **Reply #87 on:** Feb 13, 2010, 07:05:14 PM »

I have to get this truck done. I am sharing my wifes car and its lame. I miss having my own wheels. maybe i can get a few guys together and just floppin' go to town and get it done. I would like to go to rubicon 4th of july.

I would be farther along if it would stop freakin' raining I dont have a nice shop to work in. I really dont want to roll in the mud.

yota_krawler · « **Reply #88 on:** Feb 13, 2010, 09:38:28 PM »

i got a new spindle today at pnp so now i can finish putting my 44 together. I have to gusset the front hanger, repack my front springs, move my box forward, get the gears set up in the front, spool it, make a front DL, get all new bolts for shackles and

, bend up an exhaust, put the motor back together, shocks front and rear, fix the rear housing, finish bed bob, get a ubolt flip for the rear, change fluids, bumpers, sliders, smog, and

I think that sums it up.

and paint it

Doof · « **Reply #89 on:** Feb 13, 2010, 10:09:32 PM »

thats one hell of a list, but its a lot of little things. whats up with the motor?

maybe a few solid days with a good crew. do you want a square front dl? if you do give me your

and ill take it school and weld it next weeked
