    1987 toyota pickup

    I have been pretty busy the last few days, the truck is getting neglected this week. I tore out the interior, added new speakers, a stereo sound deadening and insulation. I have to install the new carpet, this weekend. I ended up cutting the doors and adding speakers.It sounds good.

    I will sleep back there. I might build a platform or just keep it pretty bare-bones, not sure yet. Something will happen eventually.

    Delica Pros /Cons

    from what I am gathering the L400 is the way to go. I agree that the L300 wins the style points. I guess LHD is very obtainable, it just might take a few months

    1987 toyota pickup

    I am going to add sound deadener to the doors and floor along with rubber mat to provide better insulation. I think I will be ok with 4.5" speakers. Can always add more speakers down the road. Easier than patching holes and tearing out wires. ha ha

    1987 toyota pickup

    I am leaning towards just upgrading the stock 41/2 speakers to start. Also still trying to figure out the rear leafs. Trying to keep the truck pretty stock. OME medium pack might be a little much. Might have to go custom from Alcan they are definitely more expansive but might be the only...

    Delica Pros /Cons

    Thanks for the info on the dealers. Our friends went through https://www.delicausa.com/ and had a great experience. I spoke with them a few weeks back. I have started the research on the vans and the different specs. I am still unsure of which direction to go. I know we want diesel, my wife is...

    1987 toyota pickup

    I am about to fix radio and add some new speakers. I can't decide if I should just stay stock ( was my original idea) new 4" speakers or if I should cut into the door. If I cut into the door I can make the stock 4" speaker into tweeter and then add speakers in the door. What does everyone think?

    1987 22re needs leafs

    I talked with the guys at Rocky Road today . They said If I cranked my Torsion bars, about 1/2" , with the medium duty OME pack, stock shackles, and Shell, the rear should about 1" over stock. Every OME pack I have put on an older Toyota has always ended up being about 1" over what the spec is...

    1987 toyota pickup

    I found a deal on a really nice low mile 1987 pickup that I could not pass up. Here is the story of the new truck, (still figuring out its name). The truck is a one owner from Oregon, and in amazing shape with only 106k on it. It has a few blemishes and needs some interior work but the frame...

    Delica Pros /Cons

    My wife and I are seriously considering a Delica and seeking some guidance. We were about the trigger on a sprinter. We came across a Delica in a parking lot. My wife was like what is that I would rather drive that any day. Total surprise! Music to my ears. I love sprinters, but they are a dime...

    I spoke with alcan about springs, I was surprised at the price they quoted for custom springs. it is not bad. I would not put it in the budget category but definitely alot cheaper than deaver.
