Thanks. Here's a cell phone video. Not sure how it'll look on a computer, I only use my phone these days.

Believe it or not, update! Build one of those fancy roll em over cages. Going behind the fenders and bedsides.

OldGold3VZE · « **Reply #273 on:** Oct 14, 2013, 09:38:21 AM »

Cage is all done. Just need to trim the fenders a bit more to fit. Then install mt GM 1wire 100amp alternator, mount my rear bumper, and cam off the wheel wells.

that trucks looking good. does the back of the cage just run down to the frame rails? iv been thinking about building a cage like that on my 80. i dont think running a standard exo on the street would go over well.

OldGold3VZE · « **Reply #275 on:** Oct 14, 2013, 11:45:47 AM »

Yes, it runs down to the frame about center of the wheel well. The middle bar runs down to my slider, and the front bar runs to the fender bar. I'm now sure why an exo cage would be illegal? I just didn't want to have a bunch of bars running on the outside of my truck. I mean, it's just a ladder rack, right?

Damn man that looks sexy! Never thought I would see it go that far. Hit me up some time to do some wheelin. There's talk of a Black Friday run to Chinaman

Sweet Toyota man. Just curious what welder you are using?

OldGold3VZE · « **Reply #281 on:** Jan 20, 2014, 01:12:45 PM »

It's an old Hobart Handler 180. Works great, and it's small. This truck is currently for sale. $6500 firm. I have someone coming to check it out tomorrow, so I was just checking to see if this thread was current so I can send him the link.

Awesome build! Looks like a blast!

Nah, couldn't follow through. Went snow wheeling last weekend, and had a blast. Buggered up the body a little, tested the cage by leaning it over, and my buddy threw a rod in his 22 re. It was a great time.

Sounds like a blast.

Wait till you see the 1983 EFI celica head and 89 complete EFI system. It's the only way I'm gonna be able to make it to farther trails this summer.

no more propane?

OldGold3VZE · « **Reply #289 on:** Feb 27, 2014, 06:42:01 PM »

I really love the propane, but I can't road trip very comfortably, and the prices are really high right now. Plus, I need my power back living at altitude. I'll use the propane gear on my buggy.

OldGold3VZE · « **Reply #290 on:** Mar 20, 2014, 02:02:09 AM »

Gotpropane kit never fails.

Your truck is bad ass sir! $Beer Chug\'n$

OldGold3VZE · « **Reply #292 on:** Mar 31, 2014, 01:40:40 PM »

Nuff raspect to Gotpropane for all their service. As much as I love that system, this is the only way I'm gonna be able to wheel outside my 50 mile propane bubble. It's going on my buggy.

yotaneck13 · « **Reply #293 on:** May 15, 2014, 06:34:49 PM »

wait, I'm confused. What is this 83' celica head? there was a fuel injected 22r before the 22re?

twistedtoy92 · « **Reply #294 on:** May 15, 2014, 07:16:51 PM »

I believe it is just a 22r valve cover on a 22re...

Saaay whaat?

OldGold3VZE · « **Reply #296 on:** Jun 08, 2014, 05:06:07 PM »

83 and 84 celicas had an EFI option. Early 22r block and head with EFI intake compatability.

twistedtoy92 · « **Reply #297 on:** Jun 12, 2014, 08:19:34 PM »

Oh very nice!!!

OldGold3VZE · « **Reply #298 on:** Jun 30, 2014, 08:57:51 PM »

Finally got my EFI swap all done. Tons more power, and the ease of filling up at a regular gas station.

I built a stand alone wiring harness for the RE swap. Super simple. Just follow the necessary items from the engine back to the computer.
