Willsides12's 83 Toyota build

Props man. Tons of work. I also love your work shop/ warehouse.

 

Bought a set of original Longfields used off Hardline.

 

Got my tailgate done

Pulled the front axle for the elocker and longfield install.

Pulled the elocker out of the Tacoma rear axle housing. I have to modify my front housing to look like this

Pulled some studs out of my front housing and welded them up in preparation for the elocker.

Wow. Crazy skillz! The tacoma dash and engine swap are tits!

 

Thanks man. I love the looks of the dash but I may rip it out soon and build a custom one. It takes up a lot more room than the original.

 

How have I not seen this before? Really digging what you've done.

 

He needs to update..


I'll text him.

 

WTF

That's AWESOME!

 

Well I haven't updated in a while. I've slowed down on the truck some. I've just been going riding and doing small things here and there.
I cut the fenders out some.
Before
After
Put in an RCI fuel cell with the Tacoma sending unit and pump.

Raptor lined the bed

Picked up some used red labels and beadlocks

Then I got tired of the Tacoma dash that I swapped in. I found that it was just too bulky and my knees were always hitting it when riding. So I ripped it out and made a new one. I'm not completely done, but I'll finish it up when it gets warmer weather.

 

I see a new badass steering wheel in your near future!

 

Oh yeah... Two words to describe your truck!

BADASS!

 

And I added on some to my cage. I'm still planning on putting some more on the front fenders and roof one day, and maybe some windshield bars.

 

Sub'd
Love to see an old truck with a second chance

 

That rci made to accept the Tacoma hardware or did you cut a hole? I'd like to put a smaller fuel cell on mine

 

I just traced the gasket and cut a hole. I put a little silicon on it and screwed it down with self tapping screws. I was going to tig an aluminum ring on it and tap it for bolts but it's holding fine how it is. The cell is the perfect height too so the pickup reaches right to the bottom.

 

Nice, my cell is also using the Tacoma sending unit but it like 20 gallons and has no baffles so it has split a few times. Wouldn't be opposed to a smaller cell like yours

 

This one is a 15 gallon. But I can ride all day long and only use 6-7 gallons at the most.
