"TOBY II" the second first gen

Not yet... Budget is a bit tight building two trucks at o once

ok so update on the 1st gen build....

after the roll and cracked frame bought this from mike.



after the last two days it looks like this



my back hurts and I still gotta put the driveline back in. I doubt I will attempt that feat until I have a another long weekend.

progress... driveline back in, rear half of cage removed, new tires, new brake lines, new powersteering, new knukles.

Just gotta get a propane tank filled and set up my propane kit.

Looking good bro looking good !!!! I love the exo on it !

Easter means propane injection will be done. Then its exhaust fluid and off to the flats in marion

got this mess plumbed up and running in my truck



propane can make the crappiest running motor run like a champ.

Looks good Macgyver. How's the 4th gen these days? Get a gas tank yet?

4th gen is showing its abuse from last year. Had to replace all the ball joints both cvs, both front wheel bearings a rear axle shaft and rear wheel bearing. Both rear driveshaft u joints, the tcase crossmember braces the reaer lca,s and the right rear lca mount on the axe side. All 4 rotor and pads had to be replaced as well as the right rear caliper. I think thats all so far

so what are you gonna bring to URE on the 27-28 of april??

Nothing i have to work... i am pretty close to ready to retire the 4runner from any difficult trail riding and only use it offroad when i want to take it easy

Yeah, you pretty much drove it like it was a rental,

id love to take that 4runner off your hands...

BWAAAHHHAAAAA HAHAHAHAHAH


JUST KIDDING...

ready for "the flats" hope everything is as done as i think it is.

and loaded up and ready to head to "the flats"

and after redoing the shocks I need to redo the rear again...

I freed up some front down travel ( its not fully drooped yet just ran out of wall)

the rear on the other hand im going to have to swap my 12" travel shocks for some 14" travel ones then I should be all set for suspension.



Backed all the way up the wall in 2wd on loose gravel.

looks good man...i am really starting to want a real off roader ...i see a 80 series or a 4RNR in my future....

I wouldnt recomend either... they are both expensive.

Samurai, Sidekick, 1st Gen Toyota, YJ = Cheap

yeah ...i really am liking the sammy and 1st gen toy...the problem is is that Angie really likes to go with me...and i do not see her wanting to go in a sammy or 1st gen....i cant have both so one will have to give....

Toby with his doors on is not a bad ride... Much smoother offroad than the 4runner and comprable on the road. Just not as fast.

Get a good set of suspension seats and you wont know your riding in a 30 year old truck with lifted suspension and huge tires other than road noise.

got some more stuff done to the truck today...


6 shooter knuckles from trail gear and full knuckle rebuilds...

next day off will be installing a GM alternator for 94 amps of charging power.

So a couple changes to both rigs...

Got a 96 amp GM alternator installed in the first gen,

got my new tires on the 4runner and had a chance to test them out a little.





and the reason 4runners cant go bigger than a 285 without without doing some big budget mods.

left side


Then i loaded up the truck for this weekend, just need to reinstall the front driveshaft and fill the propane tanks on the way out of town.

looks great dude...now all you need is a parachute to stop it all....lol

so 70$ for factory CV's or $2k for unbreakable CV's
