Rockdiver · December 15, 2011, 06:11:31 PM

Picked up an White 1982 Toyota sr5 4x4 a few weeks ago . All stock . 144,000 Miles only missing one mudflap. Plan is to clean it up, keep it close to stock . Need wheels and door panels thanks to a poor speaker install. Was on non op for over 10 years.

Stripes were peeling off So I removed them. What a pain that was. Adjusted the float now runs good, time for smog check when I find time.

Good looking truck. Glad you took the bug deflector off too. I like it without the stripes IMO

Yota87Truck · December 17, 2011, 04:17:04 PM

Clean! I love the stripes. Looks pretty good with out too. How did you get them off? i gave up on my old truck and painted over them.

Rockdiver · December 17, 2011, 06:01:48 PM

I used a heat gun and peeled the stripes. then used acetone to remove the sticky glue left . By far wasnt easy but they were peeling and the paint needed buffing . But it is all original paint .I just need to repaint the rear flares and touch up here and there.

Nice virgin find there Lynn!! I need to save up and find some non-op rigs down there. I know that I probably could get some sweet deals in Cali, since I don't have to smog up here.

Thanks Cheesemaker. These things seem to fall into my lap. I was Given an 4x 88 trooper this year bought a clean 88 samurai for 700 neighbor asked if I wanted to trade my 93 2x toyota PU 203k miles for his 70 no rust Bronco . Bought an 88 toy excab 4x for a grand kept the bed fenders interior and ebuilt trans for my 85 and parted out the rest for 1050. Then I found this for a 1000. I think I have an addiction. By the way how did the power steering work?

Cheesemaker · December 20, 2011, 07:55:00 AM

Still sitting in the tote it came in. Money got real tight, and I haven't been able to do anything on the other truck yet. Hopefully, when taxes come in, I can spare enough to get a motor and trans for it. What I need to do, is find some Cali rig that won't smog for real cheap, and mule it up here. Since we don't smog here.

I'll keep my eyes open for you .

ky-homelite · December 29, 2011, 02:43:33 PM

That truck looks great! I wish you had left the stripes on though. I love the cool old skool stripes and white wheels that came stock on them. How's the interior? Got any pictures of the inside?

83 Crawler · December 29, 2011, 10:40:16 PM

Interior pictures!!

Rockdiver · December 30, 2011, 06:47:27 PM

No problem ,Il post some tomorrow pulled the drivers side door panel today, going to make some new ones . The PO had installed some speakers and hacked up the stock ones.

83 Crawler · December 30, 2011, 10:18:54 PM

sweet thanks

Interior Shots

Rockdiver · December 31, 2011, 03:38:13 PM

Engine runs good just needs float adjusted properly. Bought new float assembly and door panel materials yesterday. Shots of the engine .Can you believe all original vacuum hoses?

80firstgem · December 31, 2011, 05:58:09 PM

is that a blue sr5 steering wheel and shift knob?!?

Rockdiver · January 01, 2012, 07:55:12 AM

Its blue. The truck is a sr5. The P/O installed that roller on the steering I think because of no power steering. Still need to clean up the interior.

Yota87Truck · January 01, 2012, 05:55:19 PM

Dang, pretty clean interior. I have an 81 2wd that is pretty clean like that. Pretty rare coloring. Sucks on the door panels though.

Rockdiver · January 01, 2012, 08:46:22 PM

New door panels started

Rockdiver · January 10, 2012, 09:57:14 AM

mayberry · January 10, 2012, 10:15:19 AM

mayberry · January 10, 2012, 10:16:53 AM

Rocksurfer · January 11, 2012, 12:57:23 AM

Sweet little truck you have, I miss my 80 at times, times when I see a nice one like mine was.

Rockdiver · January 23, 2012, 01:55:35 PM

So I made two perfect door panels Just to find out I made two lefts. So I cut one more and got the right one done. Then I thought i would make another set . Camo Style . Now working on the running issues . I replaced the float assembly in the carb . still have a lope in the throttle while holding a constant throtle or idle . Revs fine when accellerating . Does any one know someone who works on these carbs ?
