My bench is out of a 78 Hilux the PO had as a parts truck. Unfortunately the bench is welded into position, so it doesn't slide (not that I need...
Oooh, nice seats. Wish the PO didn't swap out mine for a bench seat :doah:
Sweet another Hilux owner, welcome!
At least it didn't do it while driving it! Last year a friend of mine pulled into a parking spot outside our building with his old 82 2wd pickup....
I don't think I'd survive a 150 mile/day commute. Are you putting that kind of mileage on an old Toyota? My DD is a Prius these days. I wish I...
Maybe the front is sitting higher because you don't have the weight of the hood installed.
Well I don't blame him but he emailed me back today and said he's changed his mind about selling it. If I had one I'd put it in my will to be an...
Am I crazy for this? Even though I have too many projects, I still look at vehicles on CL because you never know. Well I contacted a guy selling...
The 7.5 and 8" parts are not interchangeable. Like WhiteTrash said, you'd have to swap the entire axle assembly in order to use the 8".....also,...
That would be a sweet ride. I love wagons and my wife does too (she DDs a sorta wagon - Land Cruiser) but I doubt I could ever get her to drive...
That castle but is still held with the cotter pin where it was installed originally, it's definitely the stud pulling out of its anchor point. So...
I saw that on the news last night, CalTrans rep said they're old tech and expensive compared to the hot paint striping. My guess is they'll go...
I am very good at dragging my feet apparently, I'm still trying to figure out my wheels and tires, lol. Anyways, I've had a set of Jeep "turbine"...
^what he said. Only the 2wd 4cyl trucks got a 7.5 starting in like 1979. 4x4 used 7.5 for the front diff for all years I think.
Why not simply chop/modify your oil pan instead of relocating your engine mounts and possibly not having your hood fit? I see lots of people do...
Yeah I kinda figured that's what he was gonna do -- as long as you've got the paperwork already on a pre-smog you can simply do whatever you want,...
v6 should work fine, everything I've read also suggests the "Tacoma 8.4" diff will also work....but you may need a v6 diff housing in order to...
I know exactly where you're coming from. I've got a 100 series Land Cruiser and a 4x4 Toyota pickup that can't fit my family, been thinking of...
I believe the 20r showed up in 1974, all the 73's I've seen had an 18r. My 1975 CA model had a 20r with smog equipment, the PO removed it all....
If you're determined to have a Hilux 4x4, consider just buying one that's already done. Less work on your end, instead of fabbing from scratch...
