good to c it a family thing good luck with the trucks

 

Hey bro do you still have those starions from your truck? If so would you like to sell them to make some cash for your truck. I really like those rims. Nice truck by the way

 

sorry man no can do. im stripping the clear coat and polishing them up and sanding them down. they are my winter project lol. ima put them back on next summer. thanx anyways though

 

ok the boys have started there own thread now,but i had a few questions maybe you guys could help. what spark plugs and what wires are good to run in these 22re motors??we are waiting on parts for tylers truck and we are going to go ahead and do the cap button wires and plugs,so i thought i would ask you 22r guys that are experts parts are to be here by end of the week so we are planning on putting his motor back together next week during my 3 day break.

 

my brother ran msd ignitions ha had them for over 5 years with no problem the would still be good his truck didnt get totaled

 

All mine in both trucks is msd and ngk

 

Ngk plugs and wires all the way

 

not really wanting to go to msd.these trucks run good enough for a 16 year old anyways.haha.
i read somewere about blue 8mm wires??? cant remember what name brand they were or were i seen that.
we did go to the store to buy plugs.there was so many to choose from i thought i would just ask you guys.

so ngk is the way to go??? i know we could do more but tyler only has so much cash right now and he has spent alot on parts this week. so some good priced dependable stuff is what we are going for.
thanx guys

 

Yes, the Factory service manual calls for NGK 'BPR5EY
or ND 'W16EXR-U

Cant go wrong with either of the two, before i found out about the ngks i put in some autolites and it ran horribly,

 

true that true that gotta love a toyota for a first truck

 

ok ngk is what it will have.

i read you guys talking about static drop,is that any drop that isnt bagged ?? so you would have a static drop or a bagged drop???

 

yes, static drop is just droped or lowered...static or stationary.

 

For some reason i just caught up with this thread, but I wanted to offer you guys a welcome! Sweet trucks and also a great family project! This will be a great learning experience for the boys and possibly for you as well. Hell, if you can plate a frame for demolition derby you can add some fish plates to a frame z or a frame notch probably too. Mini trucks tend to take on somewhat of a snowball effect. Maybe one of those trucks will end up laid out on the pavement after all. It doesn't have to happen overnight. However you guys decide to proceed with the trucks, have fun with it and keep us posted with your progress!

 

NGK wires are they only available in blue?

 

well both the boys are enjoying there rides.well the youngest(tyler) enjoys looking at his lol i told him it was going to be a long two years.derek is loving his

oh yea.who makes the blue 8m wires??

 

When is dad going to jump in and get a toy to?

 

well i have thought about it.i have a 2wd tracker for a daily driver.


its not as easy to lower but it will hold all four of us if we need it.

i also have a truck that i dont drive very much.its a 94 but it only has 70xxx miles on a diesel. it was a local fire dept truck,so its been well kept and garaged.i owe nothing on it and it just doesnt seem right to sell it.


ok... now my toy . last year i quit running derbies(after 17 years).it was getting harder and harder to tear up the old iron.i was getting tired of the drama and fighting.so i started wanting a ride to restore.i knew that when i found the right one,i would be done with derbies.so i found the car i wanted.its a 73 caprice.it only has 63xxx miles and was in great shape.but it wasnt in perfect shape.so i started to unbolt it this last spring.here are some pics.









well here are some shots of it now.....







so thats were she sits right now.it will be a long road but it will be nice when its done.so i wouldnt mind getting a yota but it would just give me something else to spend my $ on,and i really need to save for my clarice(her name).so i will help the boys with there toys(on there bill haha) and keep working on my toy

 

that caprice is nothing short of classic, diggin the dually too... as for the tracker... turn that thing into a rock crawling beast!, like the old suzuki samurais

 

you don't drive the dually much, it's in very clean condition. it's cheap(ish) on fuel. Bag it, phantom dually, and used veggie oil for fuel. I think that'd be a great mix of new tech, old skool style, and race inspired goodness. You could even put a nice patina on it, and paint a logo on the door, like...."Camel Towing, and Speed Shop parts and accesories" or something like that.

 

Nice, glad your doing something. J/K Well its nice seeing a family bond going on and everyone has there own project to put there own touches on. Keep it up guys.
