Yeah man, that's the Pizza Planet truck from Toy Story! I think it was in one and two, but I'm not sure about 3. The Tacoma brakes fit inside the stock IFS wheels. I am pretty sure that means they will work with solid axle wheels too, but I haven't actually mounted one up.

The springs we used (OME) only lifted the truck about 2 inches. Pretty low compared to most "off the shelf" builds these days. The high steer arms we chose (generic, name brand withheld) have a 1" rise. Add in the extra mass of the GM tie rod ends, and things begin to get tight. At ride height...

So the truck is almost done, at least the mechanical portion of the job. I built the front diff yesterday and did final assembly on the front axle. Was getting set up to build the E-Locker for the rear and was stalled by a mis-boxed ring and pinion. I am glad I double check the ratio when I pull...

I know. Imagine getting to run around fertilizing in this thing all day. Thanks. It's tough being your own boss sometimes. Too nice. I will be sad to see it get beat up, on the other hand, I love seeing the vehicles I've built get used.

One other thing I want to clarify is the three aspects to brake performance. 1- Stopping power 2- Holding power 3- Pedal travel and feel There have been times when I have thought that a truck's brakes were spot on only to have the customer tell me he doesn't like the pedal pressure. What...

The 1 1/16 T100 master ought to be good for the 6 piston calipers. Trial and error is sometimes the only way to know for sure.

As suspected, this is not a cut and dried topic. On this page alone, there are as many opinions as there are replies. Ok, maybe I'm exaggerating a bit... Cruiseroutfit nailed it. The offroad retail stores call it a FJ80 master, which would make it a disc/drum master. I have noticed that some...

That's a neat idea. What about water that may get into the tract? Do you have a weep hole for it to drain out?

That looks like Steve Sasaki's 4Runner. Good luck with your build. I am gaining more and more interest in the 80's Toyotas lately. I used to look at them and see rock crawlers but now I see classic truck.

I know for fact that the V6 master is smaller. I think it's 15/16. Maybe the term "V6" could use some clarifying on both ends. The '88 V6 is the truck I'm referring to. Tacoma is 1". It's the residual valve, if any, I'm wondering about.

What was he asking for the truck? If you've got the budget, boy have I got the '83 for you...!

I want to start a debate or discussion based on people's experience or educated insight. Regarding brake master cylinders. In the industry, it has become "standard" to swap in a FJ80 master into older Toyota trucks. They are 1" bore so more volume is applied, blah, blah, blah... Question #1...

I don't know if I've posted on this topic or not, but there's no way on earth I would get out of a Power Wagon and into a Tundra. Would I like a Tundra? Absolutely, but I don't see how they would even compare. It would be like comparing an axe to an electric chainsaw.

I found it. It's an IKA Estanciera. Built in South America. https://www.google.com/search?q=IKA+estanciera&biw=1680&bih=916&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0CCAQsARqFQoTCN690_7SkscCFUhLiAody6QCrA I forgot about Patrols. I should point her in that direction. What Chevys do you have in...

My sister lives in Bogota. The food in Colombia is ok, but they don't do much with seafood. Last time I visited her, I was amazed at all the cool Toyotas lurking around down there. I wanted to help buy her a truck so we looked at a few. We also found a curious Jeep Commando looking truck. I...

Good thread. Curious who you bought your bumper plate from.

I wish we had more to explore here in the USA. I bet you have a lot of fun down there in SA.

Yep.

It may be a while. I've got plenty of paying jobs to complete before this one is back on the block. I am hoping (at this point) to have the suspension and axle installed by November. I am really torn on paint. I have come up with a new idea that some may seem unorthodox, but if I pull it off...

That is a clean truck. Good purchase. If it were my truck and I had another one to beat on, I would V8 swap this one (1UZ, 2UZ) and keep the exterior bone friggin stock except for a couple things. I would have a set of stock steelies widened about an inch and painted body color. The factory...
