View Full Version : My new Rig

I just got home from picking up my new rig, literally. Its a 1985 Toyota Pickup Ext. Cab. Its got from what I can tell a 3 " procomp lift:wtf:, 33x12.50x15 BFG Mud Terrains on 15x10 Steelies, 4.88's in the diffs(from what I was told, ill be looking into that furthur), ARB front bumper, homemade t-case crossmember(I think), homemade sliders, homemade rear bumper, and my favorite, a Marty McFly rollbar. Its needs some work but w/e, I can take care for that. The only real problem with it is that its carberated, but oh well, that can be fixed. Plans are get it on the road, 4.7's in the t-case, a spool in the rear, and to wheel the piss out of it.

Here are the pics I took tonight, more tomarrow in the daylight.

Sorry, I like the extra room of the x-tra cab. I can actually fit into this truck. I was really cramped in the 91.

What do you need in EFI parts?

everything to do an EFI swap if possible. I want to see how good I can get this thing running as is, and then Ill think about EFI. I still need to give this thing a onceover, and I dont think ill have time to do that till saturday.

Thats the funny part, it actually looks better in person, but im just gonna touch it up with some spray paint. Im just happy ive got something I can work with. The only reason I got this thing is because the price was right.

I'm so glad I swapped a X-cab on. The S-cab was a bit tight.

Nice find! and good deal on the X-cab.
So some 85's were carb'ed? or was the engine swaped?

Some were EFI some were carbed.


Flat black is not a good color IMHO. I had mine flat black and it gets lighter fast from dirt inbedding in it cause its not really smooth like gloss paint. It alos fades very fast.

Yea, its gettin painted when my friend gets home from college. It was a damn good deal for what it is though, engine and tranny are newer, only have 40k on them, offy intake with weber carb, full exhaust from header down, lift,newer tires, bumpers, all that for $2k.
