No progress on the truck for a week. It all boils down to being lazy.

What have I done now?? A guy traded me a 1986 4Runner and cash for my Turbo Miata. You know how it is when you get tired of of a car/truck. Get something else. I know it's not a Chevy, but a SBC might end up in it. Don't know what I will do. Just want to be able to take the kids off road.

I say you put a SBC in it, get rid of the front diff and the transfer case and whatnot, and BAG IT. make it a tail dragger

cl08 · 05-11-2010, 11:58 AM

5.3 w/ 4L60E and transfer sounds pretty funny rock buggy.

Strodder · 05-14-2010, 11:10 AM

You need to try one of these. They're a blast.

scotts62 · 05-14-2010, 11:11 AM

i bet it is!! I would get into trouble with that

cl08 · 05-21-2010, 01:37 PM

Alan you done farting around with that Toyota yet?

jsmithbm · 05-21-2010, 07:14 PM

What is the hold up here? I mean aren't you concerned with cycle time and the customers rental bill.........

Looking good.. I just welded up the holes in those fenders and threw down some mud.

I agree with the SBC.

Maybe I would have better luck with that drive train.

No, It laid down on me last weekend. It didn't quit, it's was running rough. Trying to figure it out. There's to many possible causes. Just trying to narrow them down.

Other than the Toyota, life is getting in the way.

BTW I pulled this on out of the woods for dirt cheap and it runs, but does need work.

Strodder · 05-22-2010, 12:48 PM

It looks really straight.
BTW, I don't have a lot of money. If I did I wouldn't be in debt. But still my bills are very low. That was the plan to retire. That's why I'm still working. I like toys.

I rather be doing only my stuff.
At my age, I'm having fun. You can't take it with you.

Alan's Classic · 05-22-2010, 02:16 PM

I'm just messin' with you. Didn't mean to ruffle any feathers if I did. LOL. I hope to get back on the 65 soon.

daverod · 05-22-2010, 03:26 PM

He's to busy spending all his money to work on his truck.

I'll bet that Toyota cost about a fifth of the utv. I'm with you Strodder you can't take it with. I'm leaving this place owing.

Strodder · 05-22-2010, 04:09 PM

I knew you were messing with me. A lot of people think I have a lot of money because of the toys I have. I just spend it wisely, and not all at once. It took a long time to build up to this point. I worked my a$$ off all my life and USED TO MAKE GOOD MONEY. But now it's a third of what I used to make.

There, I feel better now.

Yeah I paid $450 for the silver one.

I feel your pain. I'm in the same boat.

Still trouble shooting the 4Runner

here is a LINK to the discussion.

Shannon brought his cab over yesterday so we can get to work on his. Here is a Link to his build. Maybe I can get motivated once I get this Yoda running.

But I was prepared for it by lowering the bills, and getting SS & Snap-on retirement. Hang in there. It should get better. Your lucky compared to other body men. At least you know mechanical also. That opens up more doors.

Alan's Classic · 06-02-2010, 07:59 PM

Does it count as progress even if I just got some metal so I can fab up the fuel pocket in the bed? I want to work on it, but this damn yoda is still fighting me for 2 1/2 weeks. Any body got a match?

I've learned alot about emmisions and computers this past 2.5 weeks just haven't learned enough to get it right.

protrash64 · 06-02-2010, 08:34 PM

.....of course it counts!!! Remember, 1 thing at a time is progress

........

bubba327 · 06-02-2010, 10:19 PM

Darn right it counts- Some days just planning things is progress!!!
Be careful--- I have heard those Yodas are Tojo's revenge

I guess I'm making progress every day then.

Tojo's getting revenge on me alright.

Since I'm getting my butt kicked by these 2 yoda's I had to build my confidence up a little. It just reinforces the fact of why I do body work over doing mechanic work for a living. I think I would starve.

I also had to prove that I was still around and hadn't abandoned the project. I cut out the inner fuel pocket and got it bent. I used some metal from a wrecked hood at work. Then ran it thru the sand blaster on the side you see. I've go to put some more sand in the cabinet, so I didn't do the underside yet.

I'm sure they will sell you one. LOL It's good but not great. I couldn't shear the metal I made this piece out of. If I had it more secure to the table then I might be able to shear it. It weighs about 300# and don't want it to tip.
