83 3rz / matching boat

[redneckcustoms13]

The spartan showed up today. That might give me some motivation to get out there and put the darn thing together...

On another note. I've been busy clearing out a spot and getting it somewhat level to put a ghetto shed on. (Gotta keep the boats and tow rig out of the weather) Ive had a shipping container for a few years now to keep the lawnmower, 4wheelers, and other random junk in. Being that it was almost full I decided to get a second. It got dropped off today. I have some barge lids back in the woods I'll drag 2 of them out to set across the top of the shipping containers. We will then have approximately 29'x40' open area under roof with 2(two) 8'x40' sealed sheds on each side.

Step 1, tow a 21,000 lb dozer on a 6,000lb trailer about 20 miles to the house.



2nd have my cousin (owner of the dirt company we borrowed the trailer and dozer from) take the dirt frI'm the high side and move it to the low side to make it level. He had a pesky stump to get up first.







Ended up with about a 3-4' hole on one end so we made it grade down to it. Then the shipping container got here today.



The promped me to get all the 4wheelers and lawnmower out of the other shed and into this one.

Would have been cooler if you'd used the Toyota to tow the 'dozer 

[redneckcustoms13]

Probably so. But the toyota stopping the dozer would have never happened lol. I doubt the little toyota clutch would have taken off without smoking even in low.

haha that weight it supposed to be towed by a 2 ton and up truck.

How much did those shipping containers cost?

[redneckcustoms13]

Egh, it's an ole ragged 12 valve. It'll pull till it pops lol

Containers are between 2k-3k. I gave 2k for the blue one. I want to say I may have paid 2200 for the other I've had a few years.

[hunmetal]

Is that 12valve 4door a 98? Sweet ride, you don't see those much.

[redneckcustoms13]

Yes sir, also a 5 speed Srw 3500. Took a while to find. I've had it about 10 years now.

[hunmetal]

So you hauled 27,000lbs with a 3/4ton dodge from the 90's?.... That's awesome.

[OTO Phil]

Those Marlin seats are so worth the money. Makes the trans feel so crisp.

So does their short throw kit

[redneckcustoms13]

Yeah. I've probably hauled more than that other occasions. Just got back from a little 900  mile trip to get a boat with it. Them ole cummins trucks are fairly tough.

[redneckcustoms13]

This pile was rather heavy as well. Not sure how much though.

[green200b]

Any updates on the brown Toyota?

If not, can you post some pictures anyway? 

[redneckcustoms13]

Well sir. It is currently hooked to my little aluminum boat my son and I went out in the creek last night. Still running well. Loving the 3rz swap. I did put some 84 sr5 seats in it dan(nwflyota) gave me.

[redneckcustoms13]

And still looking for the hilux 4wd badges for the fenders

And still looking for the hilux 4wd badges for the fenders

I am looking too! They have become a surprisingly rare commodity down here as well. Like these shape Hilux's in general

[redneckcustoms13]

A guy over there emailed me with a picture of some and we had it all lined out but i never heard from him again.

Oops.... sorry bro. They are in my lux, ready to send. I just have to get to the post office. I've been super busy but I will do my best to send them this week. Sorry again for the delay.

You are the man!

[ArloMyles]

Nice lil truck!

[redneckcustoms13]

Still waiting on ratcatcher to send the holy badges. 
Just giving you some crap bud. I have met up with a guy in Louisiana that has a rather nice bed. He's going to bring it over Monday and we are trading it for a 2wd truck I have that he needs the trans out of. Hopefully I can take this bed, the new fenders, a hood and some doors to a guy in Mississippi soon so he can start getting the new shiny brown laid down.

[THK Matt]

i was going to check out the build thread, BUT Photobucket phuked that up. lol

[redneckcustoms13]

Yes it did. Definition of f bomb lol

[nwflyoda]

photobucket has recently gotten greedy wanting money for web hosting...i've deleted my photobucket account now.  hahaha

[redneckcustoms13]

It's still around, I wadded a fender up. Gathered a perfect bed, and have been using it to drag the hunting boat around. And look cute next to the ford.

[Mudder]

What motor?

[redneckcustoms13]

The Toyota has a 3rz. Ford has a 360(till i get a wild hair)

[green200b]

I am loving the picture of the Toyota next to the Ford. I never used to like those Fords but they are growing on me.

Chevy 454 would be great in that ford   

[redneckcustoms13]

I have a 476ci gm (.100 over 454) that makes 428 hp. All balanced, ported and polished, stainless intake valves inconel exhaust valves, custom ground cam list goes on a while... Had it in my boat, pulled it to put a 618hp 509 in its place. But if and when the ford gets a heart transplant it will no longer have spark plugs.

Said 476. https://youtu.be/h6Hl2bqDeaM
