You've got a bunch of work to do to it, but for what (I'm assuming) you paid for it, you got a great parts list!!

I've got a mixer and regulator if you want to convert it to propane. (parts, not a GotPropane kit). I was going to go propane with mine, but bought an EFI engine that already had a stripped-for-buggy wiring harness.

A few more pics.


The lastpic is of the road I traveled on for 20 miles then came across the sign. Probably the most twisted road Ive ever been on.

 

Get to work!

 

We should have shown how we drove it into my shop with the new fuel system!!!! 1 can starting fluid and 1 1/2 cans Brake clean!!!! Runs great just going to be a little pricey and scetchy for the guy riding up front spraying!!!! Now hurry up and decide on a motor we got work to do!!!!:flipoff2:

 

what are you going to do with it? rebuild from scratch? add parts? replace the 5.71s? arbs?

i had my 22r running so good that i could run inverted...sometimes it needed a shot of ether, but i was able to drive out of rolls. i had the ether in the cab and could spray it into the air filter from my seat, lol.

 

He is looking into a 2rz for power. He is taking the 5.71's out putting 4.10's in adding 4.7's to rear case. Then putting a arb in the front. Then who knows?

 

Got an ARB for the front. Changing out the gears from 5:71's to 4:10's. Working on getting some 4:7's for the rear case. Was going propane but decided to go with a 2rz engine. Bought it from here. http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?p=13948747#post13948747 Thats it for now.

 

Badass--good buy on that motor!

let's meet up @ KOH. :smokin:

 

I know the guy you bought it from- I used to be at that place every day while we were building my other buddys rig (70 something courier in the yota section). I think the thing just ended up outside for a good while which seems to be confirmed by the minor problems.

Cant wait to see it going again!!:smokin:

 

Here is how its sitting a couple days ago. Now it is on jackstands!!! Still no work being done on either of them.#013 and #024

 

Well since he is not a forum whore like myself. Here is some of his progress. Motor tranny and cases out. Cut the expanded metal from roof. Cutting floor and tunnel out. Next getting it ready for 2rz and inboarding springs.

 

Bought a complete PSC power assist sytem and bought some 4.7 gears just a couple days before going to KOH. Picked up the 2rz engine while there. Ended up loaning the injectors from the 2rz to the Marlin sponsored racer John James so he could get his Turbo'ed 3rz F-Toy running on race day. Here is his story on KOH. http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1040501&page=3 While down at KOH I made arrangements to pick up some more parts. Picked up a complete dual case setup with 4.7's, 3" TG front springs (for my 85 x-cab DD/Wheeler), 30 spline longs all from Bob (great guy/seller) http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1042398 Worked on it about 5-6 hrs Sunday. Got roof cut off and ground smooth and most the floor out. Need to finish getting the tunnel and the firewall out. Change out the steering coulmn and move the pedals. Then put the 2rz and trans and cases back in for mock up of the new floors and pedal placements. :shaking: Alot of work to do.

 

:beer: for loaning John and Mike your injectors. :smokin:

Plans for steering column?
Pedals?

If you peel all the plastic and crap off, the factory column can be made to look pretty nice.

2rz = :smokin:

 

cant wait to see it running. let me know if you need any help

 

Is the perimeter bar at the hood line tweaked upward??

 

Nope. The rest of the chassis is just tweaked down
I dont think so, but it may be.

 

Thanks for the injectors, that was the best it had run all week once we got them in.

F-Toy 013 has some real history its taken two of nastiest rolls I've seen at a comp.

 

If you look at this profile view of #24, you can see that while the perimeter bar pretty much runs flat from one side, around the back, and to the other side, it dips down about 2" around the hoodline:

#13 looks like the builder set the chassis on the frame, then pulled that 2" upward so the perimeter bar is almost level.

It looks like that slope exists in the short run between the base of the a-pillar bar and the top of the tube coming up from the side panel--and then the hood tube is pushed upward.


Red is a straight line; green is where it "should" be?

 

That would go along with what Air Ride said it having a couple nasty ones in comp. The front has had some tube work repaired for sure. A couple other bars are bent some also.

 

Halo bars look straight--that's where most (including mine) show bends!! :laughing:

 

Looks like to me your green line is crooked.
The whole front has been replaced. If its bent oh well, if it aint bent it will be.

 

:laughing:

:laughing:

 

Cycleworx? Are you acquainted with Austin T? I recognize the grey toyota in one of the pics...

 

The Austin T that I know has a blue IFS Toy. The grey 85 xcab w/winch & Pitbulls is my DD wheeler. The other primer gray Toy is Ling Lings. The green Toy belongs to Chason (not sure if you know him).

 

Yep I know all those guys, actually austin did his SAS tonight. I am building a 1 ton trail rig f350 right now

 

Progress going a little slow.

Its been cold and I have been feeling a little under the weather the last couple of weeks. I did manage to get the rest of the floor boards, firewall and trans tunnel removed. Bought some tires and wheels from http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1020146&highlight=iroks+tr Sold the wheels and bought a set of these https://www.racelinewheels.com/p-680-rt233-al-monster.aspx
I need to mate the engine and trans so I can mock up the new floor boards and pedal placement. Hopefully the weather stays nice so I can get back to work on it.

 

I haven't tried Pitbulls yet, but for anywhere outside of solid rock trails (Hammers, Rubicon) where sticky Krawlers excel, Iroks are tough to beat!!

I used to be skeered of 39.5's on Toy axles, but have a few friends running them under full-bodied Toyotas. They should live well under an FToy. :smokin:

 

Pshhh, it was like 60 today. We worked on my roll cage most of the day.

 

I got the engine and trans mated together and put back in (not bolted). Bought a set of engine mounts from Chilcat Fab http://www.chilkatdesigns.com/Heavy-Duty-2rz-3rz-Conversion-Motor-Mounts.html He is also a member here. They should be here by the end of the week. Need to work on steering shaft, pedal placement and the new floorboards. Will get some more pics.
