92 Toyota P/U 106k miles.

Guy brought the truck in and after I determined it needed a rebuild and 2 injectors, he sold it to me for $100, I'm slappin some main and rod bearings, set of used injectors and drive the piss out of it. Possibly boost later.

Sorry the pics are a little big, came straight off my BB storm

Only knocked at first start up and when you rev it to about 3500RPM so I think the crank will be ok.
Had 125 PSI compression across the board, 13% leakdown according to the strap-on checker. But I have seen great running cars show 40% of that tester, so I'm good

Got the Main/Rod/Thrust bearings and injectors ordered. $90

I am envious. That, sir, is a solid parts runner.

Conceptz-X · « **Reply #3 on:** May 23, 2009, 06:06:00 PM »

Thats why I jumped on it, reliable as fuck if decently maintained

random-strike · « **Reply #4 on:** May 23, 2009, 06:16:30 PM »

Conceptz-X · « **Reply #5 on:** May 23, 2009, 06:19:20 PM »

A/C works too

CSaddict · « **Reply #6 on:** May 23, 2009, 06:34:24 PM »

Nice score. My mates got one with a 2JZ it, the standard rear tubs fit 285x35x19

. Its great beating evo's and keeping up with GTR's in a mini truck.

Conceptz-X · « **Reply #10 on:** May 23, 2009, 08:14:16 PM »

I thought about doing something like that to a 'rolla. Notch the firewall and set it back. figured it would make a killer street racer.

that yota from top gear was diesel btw.
is that the 22re?
my boss has a built 22re in his 2wd yota. pretty cool if you ask me. haha.

Conceptz-X · « **Reply #20 on:** May 24, 2009, 12:44:39 PM »

Yea, 22RE 2WD Wish it was the diesel 4WD

If all goes well and I can convince my bossman to open up shop next weekend, I'll be driving it the following week

I had a 2wd truck like that for my first vehicle. I bought it from my cousin for $800 bucks.

had some kicker subs behind the seat. I drove the piss out of that truck. I wish I never sold it. I miss it.

SgtB · « **Reply #22 on:** May 24, 2009, 02:22:14 PM »

That's exactly what I've been looking for. A light truck daily. Good find.

Robb · « **Reply #23 on:** May 24, 2009, 07:04:49 PM »

If you need parts, let me know. Guy I work with parts out yota pickups as side work.

Conceptz-X · « **Reply #24 on:** May 24, 2009, 07:40:01 PM »

Will do, got some friends around here with parts laying around as well

Conceptz-X · « **Reply #25 on:** June 06, 2009, 05:22:06 PM »

Any deals on a motor and trans Robb?

Went to throw the bearings in it, found the thrust washers in the pan. Crank's been eatin away at the main caps and block for a while. Trans has no 3rd gear. and the fuel pump is shit.

Fuck I was hopeing for a good deal. A/C blows cold

Joseph Davis · « **Reply #26 on:** June 06, 2009, 05:28:03 PM »

Robb's in ATL for a Porsche meeting, apparently he's allowed to go in place of his manager or something.

This was the 2RZ Toyota truck, right? Harry definitely has one or two heads, I wouldn't doubt he has blocks cranks etc.

Conceptz-X · « **Reply #27 on:** June 06, 2009, 05:33:02 PM »

22re. ok, figured I'd ask

thanks JD

Joseph Davis · « **Reply #28 on:** June 06, 2009, 05:43:14 PM »

I just texted the MR2Guru, sir. He says no 22R but he has beer. You should drive up and we'll drown your sorrows.

Conceptz-X · « **Reply #29 on:** June 06, 2009, 05:48:38 PM »

lol, Be a long drive, but likely worth it.

My boss man has a 2_R motor layin in the floor at work, I'll have to ask him what he wants for it (Carb Head). Don't like buying shit from him, he thinks everything he has is gold.
