Old Blue

[H8PVMNT]

I have some 63" chevy rear springs strapped to the top of my 4Runner right now...

[H8PVMNT]

OK guys is this the Charge Light Relay you need?  Let me know and I will ship it ASAP...

[helipilot77]

That one has a different part number and has an extra pin that the first gen version is missing. I think it would work though. It would certainly plug right in. I am guessing the extra pin is an additional ground.

Nice fab work!

[H8PVMNT]

I have that 2WD 1980 parts truck out at a guys farm.  Let me check that.  I would love to give you the exact one if I have it.  If not I'll send this anyway.

Where is it located in the 1st gen?

[H8PVMNT]

Went and pulled the 1980 relay at lunch and it is different yet!  I will be sending you the 1984 relay shortly.  You'll have to let us know if it works for future reference.

[helipilot77]

Thanks H8PVMNT that seems to have fixed it. I don't know what that extra pin was for but it is working just fine. Thanks.

When are you going to post a pic of your sweet tercel?

Well I don't know. After Zippo and I ghost rode it down his driveway she is in need of some repairs before her debut. The replacement panels are on and the paint has been ordered.

I already got some marlin parts to put on her.
Even though it is a Toyota and is 4wd, I am afraid if I start a build thread on here I might get banned for posting about a "car".

All I can say about the ghost ride is, I'm sure I looked like an idiot running after this things in flip flops as is rolled down my overly steep driveway landing in some bushes across the street. I would have never guessed that strap would have broke and it would have bounced over the wheel chock.

Every time i think about you chasing it down the driveway i fall apart laughing.
Its steep! Park brake only just holds on old blue

Does it have an altimeter?

You could put it in the tow rig section.  Or maybe yoterhomes if you slept in it under the bridge.

Does it have an altimeter?

No it doesn't. It has the inclinometer, but the tercels had a 4wd indicator in the place where the 4runners had the altimeter.

That thing is awesome! I have no clue why I like the old dumb things like this but it's cool. I have a friend with an 87 toyo wagon that I will get when he is done.

[helipilot77]

Looks like I'll need to start a build thread before  I completely take over Steves thread.

Feel free to use my thread, im not...

[helipilot77]

Yes, but I can see the future and it will be getting some heavy traffic in about 4 months. 

[redneckcustoms13]

Ugh oh! 

[LittleSteve]

NEW FAVORITE

[LittleSteve]

Evidently shes earning her keep

[H8PVMNT]

That's how it goes with 1st gens.  I can't take mine out of service long enough to even keep it together poor thing.

[Cheesemaker]

So much stuff I need to do to my DD, but I can't put her in the shop for repairs.  So, I have to live with the issues for a while.

[H8PVMNT]

So you should be grinding on this truck by now?

[:)bestgen4runner]

 
I saw it in person last night! It does exist.
Thanks for the great dinner and conversation last night you two.
Hope your having a great time enjoying your vacation.
you get the Job.

Heres a picture of rebuilding the carb and servicing half the ignition system


After the carb had been refitted and the workbench cleaned up.


New shoes


It rained overnight.


Got a bullseye off a Mazda, enough of an excuse to change the window seal and stop it flooding the floor.

[helipilot77]

Nice write-up on that carb rebuild.
