My 84 extra cab is gone. Tacoma build now.

[Hyena]

ya, i saw them when they were $29.99.  but now the wesite says they are $32.99.  i guess they raised the price.  i think i am still going to buy from him though.

[Ramrod]

yeah i pm'd him the other day and he said 29.99 but that was probably a pirate discount

[yotadork83]

i have a 2'' die on a jd2 that i am currently using for a cromo roll cage so if interested let me know probley a pain cuase i am in az.

[Hyena]

you would really let me barrow the die?

[Hyena]

so i got all of the wiring and stuff un-bolted off of the front clip.  i need to take the radiator off and then cutt off the front clip.  i have Ramrod's old front clip waiting to be welded on.  but that won't happen till after i get the timing chain replaced.  i want to have a lot of room to work with it so it will be a lot easier.

[boggerunner]

convert that chain to dual row, its easy and bullet proof

[Hyena]

thats ok, im not going to spend anymore money then i have to on this engine.  it will most likely blow up anyway when i am reving it to 6 grand upside down.

sometimes you have to rep the 6 grand salute!

yeah but shipping it back and forth might not be worth it. be sides i think that i will be selling it soon as i use up this cromo tubing.

[Hyena]

what bender is the die for?

[Hyena]

so the front clip is cut off, started taking apart the front of the engine to do the timing chain.  keep forgetting to call Engine Builder and order the parts.  maybe i will remember tomarrow.

Hey James!  we almost got your engine back together.  it's gonna be sick once it is done.  i guess your dad ordered the 30 splines too! 

So i got to work on my engine today too.  puleld the old timing out and found the carnage.  the Drivers timing guide was broke and the passenger guide was cracked and ready to go.  the chain had chewed into the the timing cover but didn't go through into the water canal.  anyway, i got all the new stuff on there (timing chain, guides, tensioner, water pump, and oil pump).  just need to put on the pullies, fan, belts, get another oil pan gasket since i had to pull the pan, put that on, fill it wil oil and run it.  then just adjust the timing and hopefully it will run better.  worked on that pos all day by myself.

[Hyena]

So i got it finished today.  it runs but not what i would expect.  the miss seems to be gone.  but i can still hear the timing chai na bit.  i don't know what to do since i fallowed the instructions, guess i will just run it.  i still need to time it right but i need to find a timing light.  it seems to be close though.  i don't really want to drive it around till i get it timed.  but now i can start working on the front clip and wiring nightmare.

[Shamb]

Give me a call when you want to pick up those shocks. I'll have the truck home tomorrow and they'll be coming off.

you can get a timing light @ harbor freight for $10

and on the timing chain, mine was louder after i changed it as well.....

[Hyena]

i'm going to pick up a timing light today from a friend.  i was hoping the sound wasn't a bad thing.

[KYOTA]

need some update pics 

[6.72:1]

need some update pics 

Yup.

[boggerunner]

deffinantly need some update pics, my eyes hurt from reading, or was it the welding?

[Hyena]

I'll take a couple pics of it tomarrow when i go to time it.

[Hyena]

here they are.  the clip isn't welded on yet, i still have a couple things to grind and fit.  this is the the old front clip off of RAMROD.  and the tubes won't be sitting ontop of the cab, the cab will be cut and tubes will mount inside.

[olivedrab85]

Nice did you get Pats head lights with it too?

[Hyena]

nope, he wouldn't sell them cheap enough!  haha, i didn't want to be like him anyway.

well, i guess i have to link the ass end of this thing now.  Thanx Shayne!  (Shamb)

[alwayzbroken]

That is gonna be a nice set up.

[Yota4life]

Some more tube on the fender, that will look sick.

[Ramrod]

sweet!!, I cant wait to get drunk and steal that thing again.  its gonna be pretty sick now

[Hyena]

yep, i have some plans for the tubing.  im gonne cut off the ford shock towers and bent some bars for shock mounts, i want to get some long bilstein shocks for the front also.  then add a couple tubes to the front that will also be bent to add a little more strength and to go around the lights i will put up front.  i might get it welded this week.  but i will have to wait to get the bender from a friend.  i would draw up a rough sketch on the puter but i don't have a program to do it 

[KYOTA]

I cant believe how hard you thrashed the sheetmetal on that ride and the top of the cab is still straight!  8)
