Deads 94 Toyota truck Headed for retirement 3-19-16

[Dead91silvia]

Ok, so I felt it was time to do a thread for the little Yota... I do have 8 cars/trucks as of now :grin:

So the story of this little truck is kinda cool! I was just starting my new small mechanic business and need something for getting parts and the BD was not the right car for the job. No picking up V8's with that thing! So I hit Craigs list...

After a few weeks of looking for the right rig and about to give up, I accidentally found this 1994 Toyota pick up listed for $300. I thought "thats gotta be gone by now, the add is 2 hours old"... I sent the guy an email, but didnt expect much. I got an email back and he said he would give me a call when he could and then also asked why I mentioned God in my email (it's in my signature and everyone gets it). I just said I he has helped me lots and I tell who I can and sometimes even forget its in there.

He called the same day and I asked about the body, he said it was solid. I asked about the motor, he said it ran. Then I asked why it was $300 and he said "it needs a transmission, but I'm not sure yet, I'm having the shop look at it". I said I would come get it that day and had the cash and didnt want someone else to get it. He insisted that he wanted it checked out. I said ok..

2 weeks later I was about to give up on this guy selling me his truck and I get a call... (when did you want to pick it up? They say it needs a clutch of a trans... Just wanted to make sure it wasnt worse then that." I told him I would be there in an hour. I hooked up my trailer and drove out to get it. I looked it over listened it to run. It needed a timing chain kit (sounded horrible, but typical of 22RE's but still a good motor), the body was solid other then a rusted bumper and minor body damage on the front end.

Now here is the cool part. This guy got it bran new in 94 in Maine. He was there for 2-3 years and then moved to Seattle, so it missed out on most of the rust problems. It had 339K original miles on her! NEVER had the motor out! Had a canopy already and I needed one. He told me that he felt it was going to a good home and he liked the fact I have faith in God (sorry if you guys feel this is preaching, just part of the story). I told him I would give him updates on it and that it was going to a good home.

What was wrong with it.... ? A cracked clutch fork, cost of $26 from Toyota and 1 days work! :smt023

Ok... I talked way too much...

The truck is a 1994 Toyota Base model standard cab, 22RE 2.4, 5 speed. The only options it came with was carpet and a rear slider. I have had it since March 2010. She gets 22-27 MPG all the time! Better then my BD!

Motor/trans:
stock: new timing set (broken guilds, typical), plugs (they were really bad!), cap and rotor when I got it.

Body:
92-95 Toyota 4Runner front end conversion
power SR5 4 Runner mirrors (not wired yet)
DLX/SR5 doors... different style mirrors...
Replaced rear OEM rear bumper with Chrome and also hitch.
Jerco Canopy
Yakima Control tower rack (bad ass! I love this thing!)

Wheels and tires:
15" 1990 Jeeps mesh wheels custom painted by myself(moderns) with Fuzion HRi's (frist setup)
Skyline GTS-T 16" wheels... crappy tires... 1-1/4" spacers (current setup as of Sep-12)

Interior:
94 4Runner dash conversion
94 tilt steering column with intermittent wipers
94 Limited Leather 4Runner steering wheel
SR5 interior door panels
SR5 instrument cluster
SR5/4Runner map lights
Kenwood head unit
2 Pioneer 4" speakers (not a rocking system like the Leggy.. haha)

Day I got it!

Dash and column swap was first...

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2012/06/IMG_8981-1.jpg

The differences... My dash was hard plastic and looked cheap. The 4Runner dash had some what of a pad and looked much more... elegant I guess along with the glove box having a lock, lower center pocket, easier stereo removal, and just looed better to me.

Old dash

New dash
https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2012/06/IMG_8977-1.jpg

New cluster... for some reason I still cant figure out why the tach does not work. Might be thats its from a v6 truck, or that the truck didnt come with one, I'll figure out out some day.

I have a soft spot for these as I had a 90 Pickup and a 91 4Runner. If you're going to keep those headlights, and not go to the composite style, I highly recommend on getting e-code Hella 6054 glass. One of my all time favorite mods. The US Hella conversions are great too but the e-codes have better beam pattern.

[Dead91silvia]

Time for the new front end... Oh yeah!

1994 Toyota 4Runner swap... All the part you need... The cutting and welding is the fun part!

I will have more pics tomorrow on the doors. I have one installed and just painted the other one today... I'm just butt matching the paint, it's a work truck so I dont care much how well it matches, the fenders dont anyway... haha

Oh, these are the wheels that will go on when I get spacers...

One of my all time favorite mods. The US Hella conversions are great too but the e-codes have better beam pattern.

I have always wanted one of these to build as a mini truck. They just have nice lines and I have loved the 22RE since I had my first Celica.

I'm sure you saw it by now, but I did the composite lights on the front end. I like the look, I just need the right wheels to go with it. I'm looking for a midp90's body kit for it. They used to make "lip" kits for them, but they are even hard to find pics in old mags. I'm not doing too much more to it. I just found a 92 Hilux Double cab in Canada that I might be getting the cab and box from. If I do I'll build another one on a different frame and this truck will go away, but this little truck has been excellent!


Oh! I forgot! Every now and then I send the guy emails so he can see his truck got a good home! He is still amazed at how much it's change and it makes him happy! :grin:

[98legwag]

Very nice. My buddy (Rubie25_GT's uncle) has a lowered 90 truck. It was his toy until he got a 944. I may have a picture or two of it.

[nikolaus.conrad]

Such a cool little truck! It's incredible with how interchangeable the Toyotas seem to be.

[Dead91silvia]

The cool think about Toyotas IS how much they can be swapped around! Not to many makes are like that.

Finished my door swap! I didnt like the big ol' work truck mirrors so I got a set of DLX/SR5 doors and some SR5 4Runner mirrors. Also changed up the interior door panels as well! They have pockets and they are fabric not plastic... :grin:

All I've found on my 94 is how terribly Toyota lays things out for mechanics and how well Subaru does things, lol.

[mike-tracy]

HG's are a chore on the 3.slo's, and the suspension setup is kind of scary, but overall these older toyota's (especially the 2wd 4-cyl's) are cake.

[Dead91silvia]

Yeah, the 3.0 motors suck balls to work on and they are POS's.... I will never own one.

However, you cant beat the 22R's... They are one of the best motors ever made. As for the layout on Toyota's, they are really pretty good! My brother 98 T-100 with the 3.4 v6 is one of the most easy truck I have ever worked on. Subaru's are pretty simply though.

[Dead91silvia]

Didnt realize I didnt update this... haha...

I got myself four 1 1/4 spacers to install my Skyline GTS-T wheels I had. I really needed 1 1/2 spacers, but I couldnt find any, so these will have to work. It think it look pretty cool myself. I do like the other wheels, but the mesh are for the Volvo anyway.

Old 15" Jeeps Cherokee wheels going bye bye! (To the Volvo)
https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2012/11/IMG_0275-2.jpg

Hello Skyline wheels (16's)!
https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2012/11/IMG_0276-2.jpg

And the spacers... 1 1/4 inch...
https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2012/11/IMG_0277-2.jpg

I kinda should have got the spacers for the Mesh wheels also, but oh well...

Looks good with the spacers and those wheels.

[Okin DaVanh]

Did I ever tell you how much I hate my life right now? You suck for reminding me.... Carry on. :grin:
I'm in the process of trying to sell my car now, so I can get a pick up that I sooooooo badly need. After my 2 door removable top 4Runner, the choice was clear as to what my hunt was going to be. 4cyl Yotas are becoming so rare and scarce around here, and people are asking an arm and a leg for some heavily rusted/rotted out models. Keep up the good work... I might have to take a trip out there to go get 1. :lol:

[Dead91silvia]

Whoo Hoo! Post 3000! What do I win?!

Thanks guys! She's still a work in progress. If I didnt need to do work with it, I would think of airbags and a body drop, but alas, it's a work truck.

They are no so hard to find here in good shape. Most of the time they are just trashed. I figure I could sell mine even with the miles for about $4K, but thats only because of the updates and maintenance done. I've thought of getting another 84-88 4x4 so I can build another crawler, but I kinda want to build a Samurai also.

Let me know if you need help finding a clean one over here. that are out there. My dad has a beautiful 90 x-cab 4x4 with a 22RE that we got put together for about $4K a few years back. Got it with a blown clutch...

This is before I got him a canopy...

nice .... i can adopt you, and you can buy me 1 too. lol Your dads looks like a relitive of mines old 92. his was stick and a V6 tho. we resealed the entire motor.

[98legwag]

If you check out my MR1 thread you can see my friend's 90 Pickup. Its in the pics from my jdm fog light work from the other night.

[AssYriaNrocKer]

Cool build!! I just purchased a 94 single cab 2wd my self. First thing I did was intake/battery location swap. Started a build thread on toyotaminis forum. Front end looks great and so do those doors. Good work.

:headbang:
-RONI-

[Cleck]

Awesome work man, I love those trucks! You're right about the 22RE too, solid motor. It'll wind forever as long as you take care of it. The fact that it went that far on plugs/wires/cap and rotor for that long is a testament. Not saying that they were stock, but I bet they had over 100k miles on them, easy.
Wonderful job on the conversions, really nice work there.

Oh and I've always wanted those wheels for my MR2. Perfect size and look for a small car, interesting to see them on a truck.

[Dead91silvia]

Well... I have a sad update for you guys.

My brother had totaled his 98 T-100 4x4 about 2-3 months ago and I was letting him drive my little Yota since I havent used it in a while and was about to put it in storage. Well, he got rear ended about 2 weeks ago. A non ENGLISH speaking moron pile drived the right rear with an 06 KIA minivan. It shifted him sideways and the front end hit a simi-truck trailer tire.... I have his truck here putting a new front end on it.

I'm now in battle with State Farm to get whats it's worth and they have been doing nothing but pissing me off with pathetic offers for my truck.

What will happen to it? Well, It looks worse then it really is. I plan to keep it and fix it. They are nt getting their grubby hands on my Yota! :evil:

Damn man all that work u did on the 4runner front end to....I really liked this truck. I hope your brother is ok...keep us updated on the state farm issue...I too have a 22re pickup with state farm insurance.

good luck getting it all back together.

[Dead91silvia]

Today I started to rebuild the Toyota. Took the canopy off to work on the box and also pulled the fender. I grabbed some parts yesterday at Pick and Pull. Got a head light bucket, bumper bracket, and a light socket. I would have had a fender but they are way the hell over priced! $65 for a fender! Found another one the right color for $35, I just need to pick it up.

I also found a couple boxes also. I need to go take a look at them and then I'll head out and pick it up with my dads Toyota. I should have it close to finished next week or the week after. It's not that much work, or even time so it should go fast.

[Okin DaVanh]

Can't believe it, but I'm glad to hear you're keeping it.

I've got a guy at work who can strip and reasmeble that truck in two days-though-a '94 was not part of the buy back or new frame program. Main needs an "e" at the end. Feel free to fix my poor spelling in this post :)

I've known dead91silvia a long time, he corrects me on all sorts of things, in return I am one of the few that can correct him on spelling and grammar.

Have you ever considered dropping a second generation 4runner body on this frame/running gear? could be a lot of fun!

I don't thing it will work-I believe the frames are just a little different.

[Dead91silvia]

Nope, if I wanted a 4Runner, I would buy one. :lol:

And I'm sure you could make it work, but why? It would be so much easier to get a 4Runner and convert it to a 2WD.

[wentz912]

Maybe I'm just weird and twisted that way. I know they made some 2wd second gen runners too. What would be even more fun is to drop a first gen two door body on that frame. Be waaaaay cool to have a slammed runner with removable top ;)

Well.... Got an update for the little Yota!

I got the truck re-titled and pretty much done and re-built. I'm still looking for a nice condition tailgate, tail lights, and rear bumper. Also need to grab a marker light, but it's all small stuff.

Here are some more progress pics...

Rust repair done! Truck is now 100% rust free! :smt026

Nicely done. I think you like white vehicles....seeing as you have four of them.

Yaaaay! I was kinda heartbroken to see this little rig get beat up. Glad to see you've saved it.

HAHA! Took care of the white thing.. Sold my GMC and got an F-250, 2 tone blue and silver. :smt023

I'm thinking of selling it, but I really dont wanna give it up. I like this little truck!

I got some new tail lights, just need to install them. Also might have found a tailgate, but it needs a little work and its gray. I might just hold out for a white one.

i sold my 94 last year with 455 on the odo. just didn't have space for it.

i miss it every day. do not sell.

[Dead91silvia]

Well... The world just does not like my truck. My brother went to grab some lunch and this is what the truck looked like when he came out. No one around... SOB did this and drove off! :smt013

Not my brothers fault at all, he had it parked in a good spot that was open. This really pissed me off!

I already started fixing it, not going through insurance, even though I have the coverage. The last accident was with my brother as well, so I'm eating the labor and my brother is taking care of the parks.

I never updated this... haha...

Little "Jake" has been back on daily driver status for a while now as my work truck. However, with the arrival of the new Baja, "Jake" is headed for retirement. It's actually going to go to my dad since he just sold his Toyota 4x4 a few months ago, so he will us it for do all the little things he needs to do, will still be my truck, but just in my dads possession. ;)

I have got a few parts to swap on ti it like a new hood and fender that are in great shape as well as a JDM custom grill I picked up. I get some snaps of that when it happens. :)
