86 Xcab

I know this is not a Taco but i have been asked a couple of times by a couple of people to put up some pics of my 86 yota so here we go

1986 Toyota Xcab Pickup “Lafawnduh".
here she is when i first got her



I know she has a few rust spots but I really don’t mind she is just a trial rig


took off the pole holder, and camper shell, and busted a window shortly after i got her

Removed the sway bar



removed the broken power radio antenna, replaced the broken window.


and today i installed the CB antenna

and CB Radio

shortly after that i moved the CB antenna to where its currently located

 

Tyras while in the bed of her

Inside of the Front Fender before beating the hell outta it

After

Put the Tyra's back on

Sitting outside the Garage


So there is a small hill right outside the Garage get alittle Flex Test outta her

 

hit the beach for abit. Seems that i didnt have enough wheel speed on our first try to get on the beach and we go stuck had to get a guy to pull us out. Then we Aired down some and tried again. That attempt worked.




ended up going wheeling, lost the foil shortly after this pic



i ordered a SmittyBuilt XRC8, i went ahead and took it out the box and put it together as much as i could. should be getting a bumper made soon

 

I wanted to go ahead and move my turn signals so i did that.
before

grill off yes im using the Taco as a work bench

turn signals hanging out

turn signals in the grill

do yall think this angle will be ok?

put back together


i put them at an angle to keep them from touching the radiator.

after i did that move i decided to go ahead and pull the bumper off.



so the turn signals looked dumb at an angle i flush mounted the turn signals.


and the Trail Gear Order that i placed with a buddy showed up today bumper and sliders in the box

and the other day both my truck next to each other in the yard

 

That is awesome. That will do killer on trails and if you don't have as much worry about scratches and crap.

Thanks for posting.

 

the bumper is installed, just need to more bolts put in. Should be doing the Winch soon.
Seems that my CB cable is not long enough and my FWD/REV power is not good.

here is the bumper


went to Walmart and got some Primer and Paint yesterday, walked outside this morning and the bumper was rusty.

Removed & Cleaned it up abit

Sprayed some Grey Primer

Then painted it Flat Black

Reinstalled

a shot from the driver seat


Then on to the winch install had to put it in and remove it because of the box placement ended up moving it over the spool, i didnt feel like moving the turn signals again. Also i know its to the drivers side abit and prob should center it in the whole that i cut but i like it there for now maybe later ill move it. Also seems that TG was not kidding when they said the Roller Fairlead does not work with the product. So if anyone has an hawse Fairlead they would like to either trade me or sell me please let me know. or would going that route not be good with the cable?

no prob man, some of the rear bed body damage came from driving to close to a tree

sway bar removal gives alittle turn radius, and alittle more travel. i was told to do it by a buddy of mine. he is one of the guys that i would consider a yota master so if he says take it off i take it off

 

33 x 12.50 x 15 at the moment when i do a SAS i plan on going no bigger than 37s but that depends on my mood at the time, and what i can find for cheap

 

yes sir, couple of my buddies are running 36s and 38s with 22re, dual xfer cases, 5.29 gears and locked front and rear

 

Sweet. I live those old Toyota pickups. Would love to fine one around here but they are hard to come by.

 

where?

 

Oops, I meant love not live.

But yeah. Columbus Ohio.

 

Sure, my 88 had 37's with stock gears, barely used 4th gear though

 

that truck is sexy
