86 toyota 22rte build

[P00d0g]

so I bought a 86 Toyota pick up 4x4 reg cab. It sat from 96 to 2006 it was rebuilt it 06 and sat again until 2012 until I drove it and bought it. It had this cowboy cab on it. I had to take that off right away. That Thing looked crazy! when I really started looking at it there was allot things that needed fixing. Most of it basic from sitting so long and not being used; like electrical issues, hoses things like that.Had to replace plugs, wires, fuel filter water pump, fan clutch, idler bearing, and power steering pump; While I was doing that I installed a better power steering cooler. I dropped the tank to take a look at the condition of it and it was pretty nasty. when I was disconnecting the fuel line I found a wd-40 red straw and when i got to the pump I found something that I couldn't believe. As if the straw wasn't enough. I found a fuel pump with wire screen mesh and bailing wire holding it on the pump acting as a sock. (I just don't understand some people)so I changed it of course. I am installing leather 94 Toyota Camry wagon seats. I have one done I just have to clean up the brackets and paint it.

this is how it looks at the moment
the plane is to do 14 bolt rear and 60 ft dual cases. the usaual.

[P00d0g]

had to drill ft seats and simple bracket in the back reusing the holes that are already there.

just like you,
Did you swap that VSV yet? Ill keep a eye out for a 60KP for ya

[P00d0g]

No. vsv works. I need to test the fuel regulator but I need a fuel pressure tester.going to check valve clearance now .

white dash is fancy! where did you get the power steering cooler? summit?

[83crawler12]

im the diggin the dash,

[P00d0g]

The dash is tan. Its that camo tan stuff from Kragen, And the cooler is a transmission cooler from Kragen. Its a hayden, cost was around 26 i beleave. If you got to kragen ask for the for somthing big enough to act as powersteering cooler. Luckly the parts guy wasnt a dumb ass. The lines that come with it are a bit short, so I bought a little extra line from Kragen as weland the hole with some door trim I had lying around. Not sure how well it will work on trail. But I'm confident it will work fine. More fluid equals easy dissipation of heat. Anything is better than that paper clip crap.

I have a fuel press guage bro. Come one down, i dont belive were doing anything tomarrow.
I might just be removing my PS cooler to install a large one. Got the pump reinstalled today with my new larger resivor.

[P00d0g]

Going over to in laws house for a barbecue. Your way of checking valve clearance was much easier. Couple of the valves were a little tight. Runs a little better now. Guy from school is getting me some tank sealer. I am Thinking that there is shit clogging up the sock. Hopefully that will take care of my bucking, hesitating issue. dropping the tank again

The white dash kills me . I really like the seats from the camry, cool idea

[P00d0g]

It's tan. I was doin rounds in the local u- pull it.
Saw the seats, and it was love at first sight you can make anything work with a little cutting and welding.

Got a weird whining sound coming from oil pump. Going to take that off in a couple days to see what's up

[P00d0g]

pict of motor. all stock, except for that red air line
pulled oil pump off and could not believe it. pump was all tore up. drive gear outside surface tore up and spline gear splines chewed up a bit. i wonder how much metal is in the crankcase.going to check bearings now.

[locost7]

you prob can salvage the front cover, pull it and use a very fine file or fine sandpaper wrapped around a thick piece of flat metal or glass. need new pump though, that looks like a typical american pump after 100 miles

[P00d0g]

i got a new pump from ENGBLDER. the pump that fraged was a Toyota pump: i have never seen anything like it. i checked a bearing. it looked good. going to sand the cover a bit. should be fine. if the engine blows at some point; i will just throw a 3.4 in it

[locost7]

how did your front cover turn out?

[P00d0g]

It turned out great. Sorry about the late reply. I was thinking about changing the build thread title..egh! fawk it. There was no scarring on the bearings though, I got lucky. I am going to get her smogged on monday. Then its a bed bob, and sliders. Just because i can and i have the materials. After that i am not sure. Im still toying with the idea of tons or yota sas. I all ready have a 14bolt. Problem is money of coarse. I can build a yota sas cheaper and have fun. But if anyone wants to sponsor me I will build it. A goal of mine is to run koh in stock class at some point. .

[P00d0g]

Installed a slider the other day. Just passed smoged now I need to see how heavy she is. And start the bed bobb

[RockRogue]

Glad you got that bad pump outta there. Nice rig... What the hell is a cowboy cab? Is that like a mini canopy? Looks like a shed. It sure is ugly.

[P00d0g]

It's a 1/4 camper shell. Ugly as Shit. I've never seen anything like it. The guy that had it before had his subs in it

[ADD]

Let me know if you wanna sell the 1/4 shell. I dig it

[Mike Honcho]
