You're only waiting to do more because the diamond plate supplier only allows you two 4'x8' sheets per week /forums/images/graemlins/histerical.gif /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif /forums/images/graemlins/histerical.gif
 
right now I aint doin nuttin but saving $... Once I have some though...

1) reroute exhaust y-pipe out of the way of front shackles and driveshaft.

2) regear to 5.13

3) start workin on the s-10 cab... it'll prolly take a year of work / saving money to build it how I want it... but once its installed and the exo goes on watch out! /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

currrently maxing out both my credit cards just to keep it running. replacing the fuel sending unit, fuel pump, fuel line, tie-rod, drag-link... And that's just THIS week. Check back next week I'm sure I'll have an equally long list... /forums/images/graemlins/doah.gif
 
Trying to find a w56 5 speed with a case. Once I get that I may just cough up the money and do a doubler. Get the driveshafts adjusted.

Wanted to try to start it this weekend but just ran out of time. Found some screwd up plumbing on the carb I need to sort out. Cleaned the engine so I could see what is going on with it.
Once I get the tranny back in and it running right I'll tag it and DD for the summer after I fix the A/C.

Ohh yeah it's a 84 solid axle 4 runner. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Not to worry...if somebody comes up with some money real quick I'll have a clean 75 in the drive as well that I may pRe runner since I can't seem to find a real 2wd K5.
 
I have been collecting parts for a while now and this week it is time to put some of them together .
As I write this I am taking a break from setting up the T/L & 5.13's in my Dana 60
Tomorrow I will complete the rear 14FF with 5.13's & D/L and later in the week I will be building my motor since I got everything back from the machine & balance shop .
I am too tired and lazy to do much more this week so that is all I plan to get done at this point.
Got to get back in the garage.......
