This thread belongs in the classified section...
I had an 04 Tacoma with $40+k into the truck (that does include purchase price of it which was $17k)....Everything done to it was done by Toyota from day one. The truck had 70k on it when I bought it and had 135k on it when I sold it.
Sold it...
Got some things done today. What took the longest was de-greasing the engine. What I got done was;
-de-grease/clean & rebuilt fuel pump with NOS rebuild kit. I put in a few other parts not found in the rebuild kit too. New NOS fuel filter also installed.
-de-grease top on bottom of engine, not...
I figured I should take a few pictures with the top off the cab. I have had it off for a week and am putting it back right now. Got to love a ragtop though, quick and easy to go topless!
Cheers
I don't think so on the 94 video being online to watch. But if somebody finds it post a link!!!
I got a box of parts yesterday for the truck. Here is what I am doing to it....
-fuel pump rebuild, not giving me probs just doing it for the heck of it.
-all new gaskets, fill hose and seals for...
I read through the trip report/blog at http://www.pinzgauer-overland.co.uk/index.html last night. Awesome trip!! Seemed like the Pinz gave them a lot of problems but it made it all the way across Africa anyways!
Cheers
I can back him up on it being a solid truck. It has treated us well on the 5 or 6 trips we have done in it. No idea why he is selling it though! It must have something to do with my 6x6 Pinz outdoing him last weekend! :rolleyes:
I was under the impression it was cut right in front of the doors. I don't really know though, just a hunch.
Just got back from a day/night out in the Pinz. Lot's of fun but I left the camera at home. :(
Carnage from the trip =
-two rear axle boots are cracked. They are simply old and...
Well I have had a good first day with the truck. Pretty happy all around. I like to run a truck hard, real hard after I get it to see what may be an issue or need work. I am happy to say I ran the Pinz very hard yesterday and it didn't miss a beat. Not only that but I felt very awkward driving...
Picked up the Pinz this morning...
About 11am at my house,
First thing I did when I got it home was slap my plates on it, check the oil and take it for a 35 mile drive. 1/3 of that high speed on gravel roads. Then I spent 5hrs detailing the truck, it was dirty! After that I drove it out...
Other than lot's of fluids not really. Engine is a 4-cyl. so not much to that. But the axles and portal boxes take a lot of oil. SAV (Swiss Army Vehicles) has just about all parts in stock. Some things are really expensive like a new OEM wiper motor but others are not.
Oh and I just figured...
I have not worked on the truck at all in some time. The body guy though is doing some things. I am just super busy with work and no time for the project.
New fabricated to match stock side steps have come back to me recently, they look great. The engine, bellhousing, trans & t-case is being...
