This 99 taco again!!!

Its all good. It may have more to to with ability than cost or time. You have to take into consideration that I put this
into this
And got this out of the two
And I did it for no other reason than I was board! LOL

 

Me and my buddy rebuild yotas too. It's alot of fun!!
We have two tacomas, three 4runners, and three pickups.

 

What year is that white king cab?

 

I want to say 92? Can't remember exactly

 

So I have been messing with the donor cab. Since it is the rainy season, I wanted to get some doors and windows put on it. The drivers door was there so I just had to put the glass in. Before I did though, I had a roll of window tinting and decided to practice. I also got a dented door shell from the wreaking yard for the pass side. . Have you ever used Super clean? I do and I think pretty darn good. So I make it Super duper clean by using a pressure washer. I then one up it some more by adding some hot water to the pressure washers inlet. The result is a "Super duper King pressure washer clean". Said 5 times fast. hear is the before and afters.

 

Never heard of power washing seats before, but I like those results!!

 

I learned it from my wife's dad. He took the old couch out side and washed it with a hose and let it dry for a few days. He then sold it on craigslist for like 100 which he got for free. I thought he was crazy. When it comes to seats and what not, what do you have to lose? It was garbage anyways, right? The key is allowing it to dry. I have the stuff in the garage now hanging with a heater running.

 

Yeah, don’t let it dry and you get what my buddy had: mushrooms growing on his carpet.

Ahh highschool in the foothills of CA gold country: those were the days...

 

mushrooms on a carpet, that sounds like a ride, a kind of magic!

 

Well, it WAS highschool...

 

you seem to be very skilled, and definitely dont like idle hands.

 

Hell Yeah man! Love watching builds come together.

 

I'll watch!

 

I'm in

 

Sounds like a big project, but definitely willing to watch a first gen get resurrected!

 

Just a couple of pictures I took today showing my ghetto tint job. Is far as progress goes, I put a steering column in the truck and a battery. Nothing is known of the 2.4 4 banger. Whoever bought the bed took the wiring including the fuel pump wires. Tomorrow I will get into my old Tacoma harness and fish it out. It is probably good though the truck has had the fuel cap off for a while. Probably all water in there. Anyway the engine turned over and sounded normal as anyone could tell. I was thinking of moving the e-brake to the center console like a 4 runner. Anyways that's that.

 

I see it's a 5 lug - are you restoring it as a 5 lug or making it a 6 lug?

 

see the pos in the back. Well it will be 6 lug. The frame and box are okay. so I will probably make a 4x4 first.

 

Been meaning to ask you, what kind of jack/jackstand setup do you use? I could never get my truck high enough off the ground with the 3 ton harbor freight jack which has a max height of 18". I stack their 3 ton jackstands on top of two pressure treated wood blocks.

 

2 6 ton jack stands purchased at a garage sale for 15.00
