pickup

I am kind of an electical luddite, but I am looking for a good way to charging a battery or two in the bed of my pickup. Do not want a load on them, only charging. A quick Google leads to overlanding bullshit which is not the intent here. Is it as easy as wiring some clips to a trailer plug and...

A few years back I picked up a 32 Ford truck that was someone elses project (they passed away and their family sold the truck) that had been in a storage unit since the 70s, body is really good, have no transmission or engine for it, rear end is the factory "torque tube" driveshaft, which I'm...

So I've looked into this for a bit and can't find any information regarding it other than it wouldn't work due to the size differences, figured I'd give it a try and document it for anyone who might want to try it. I mean, what's the worse that can happen? So initially my goal was to do this...

I bought a small trailer at an auction :homer: It appears to be in good condition, towable. I'm looking for someone who could pick it up and store it for me, I'd rather pay one of you than rack up storage fees. Thanks!

Im bored, so I figured i would throw together a build thread for my next shitbox in the fleet. Some back story on this '81. This truck was someone's baby at one point. So many nice 80s touches throughout, i.e aftermarket lights everywhere, wooden cup holders, ladder bars, some stiff lift, etc...

1981 Toyota Pickup 4x4 22R 5 Speed. Frame is sold, body has typical rust. I bought this truck in 2010 and sold it to a friend and bought it back in 2020. Since 2020 it has been cleaned up and garage kept, but not really used. I have put maybe 300 miles on it in 4 years. Runs and drives but does...

So is there any of you Toyota Gurus know where the choke control relay is located in a 1980 4x4 pickup that came with a 20R motor

I have a buddy who's moving from Mac to Kyle end of the month and he needs his pickup hauled down there. It's a 2014ish, dodge 1500, crew cab. He checked with some car shipping service and his phone got blown up with haulers and brokers from $1200 to $5000 and he is a little unsure about any of...

I bought an evolution magnetic wand to pick up metal shavings, chips and grinding dust with. I actually bought their short and long wands. I don’t like to bend over much anymore :laughing: This thing works great and I got to test it out on my drill press table. It did very well cleaning out the...

$8500 or best offer 1981 Toyota pickup. Passed smog 7/29. Clean title street legal. Has always been driven to and from trail, rubicon Barrett, slick rock. Long bed that’s been bobbed. Body is not perfect, it’s a 40 year old crawler. Motor runs strong just did water pump. Pictured beadlock...

Buddy has a 55 pickup 3100 2wd and wants to convert it. Just have some basic questions with hope of saving myself some time on research. Truck is only going to be used for camping and weekend fun. This isn't going to be a hard-core crawler. #1 Plan is to keep the factory frame/ front...

How much real world difference is there towing with the 330/950 chassis cab powerstroke compared to the 475/1050 or 500/1200 pickups? 145 or 170 more horsepower is a lot but I know they dyno them differently so the math isn’t that simple. My current company truck that’s about to hit 300k is...

Picked up this 81 from a guy I met previously looking for parts, I had let him know I wanted one of these first gens and when he acquired another one he let me know. Gave me a decent deal soI jumped on it. Story goes, he bought it from an old timer toyota mechanic who owned it since new. The old...

Friend of mines dad passed away so my dad and I were called up to come over and try and help her put prices on all the shop things. She REALLY doesnt want to sell this but the fact of the matter is that it's going to have to go. This was her dads legacy. The big one. I dont know a lot. '59...

Picked up this 95 Pickup back in June. Driving on the hwy the other day and the ball joint bracket snapped in half. Made it to the side of the hwy but the steering outer rod, lower arm, upper arm, shock are toast. Trying to find the best options for a rebuild. TC doesn’t make a 2wd kit...

I have had this truck for over 10 years now and it has been a slow but steady typical Toyota build. I had a couple build threads over on Marlin's forum but, I thought I would move everything here instead. Ill start this thread with the abridged steps of the build up until this point. Then I'll...

Hey guys had a question here I am currently setting up a three link on my 94 Toyota pick up and I am having clearance issues with my upper third link on the passenger side. I was wondering if it is ok if I offset the angle of the third link to help with clearance? Or does it have to be parallel...

Greetings everyone. I'm building my friends Toyota for him so i figured I would make thread to document it all. It's a 1980 Toyota Pickup 2wd with s stock 20r. He's had the truck for around 13 years or so now and always talked about building it into a crawler. He was able to buy a majority of...

I have this on other forums, but wanted it here too. The truck has never really had a name expect " The blue truck " I also consider this my learning truck. The welds I did on it in 2010 look way different than the welds I did over the summer. Ive owned this truck since march of 07. Bought it...

I have a 1989 f250, 5.0l with low compression in one cylinder. I already own a 1999 Explorer parts vehicle with 5.0l. I am interested in swapping the engine, accessories, wiring and computer from the 1999 into the 1989. I understand just swapping the block and heads from the Explorer over...
