There are a lot of great trucks on this website to draw ideas from; but, I have found that (at least for me) navigating through all of them can be tedious. I have been inspired by many builds on this forum and DeskToGlory's build is what inspired me to start my own build thread. With the idea of making it simple to search for ideas for our trucks, I would like to start a thread for ONLY 3rd Gen ('89-'94) Toyota pickups. Sorry 4Runner guys; I dig these rigs and also have a 4Runner, but I want this thread to be only for pickups of this era as they have different cargo carrying and camping capabilities.
So in order to simplify the search for all of us building this era pickup into what they view as an "Expedition or Backcountry Camping Rig" I would like to start gathering us into one simple thread.
The "supposed" rules:
-Keep it simple.
-Post a few pictures of your rig (before and where you are now would be good teasers)
-Give a short list of modifications.
-Finally (and most important) post a link to your build thread. If you don't have one, this gives you an excuse to start one so that we can all share ideas. This important step will keep this thread easy to see what people have done to their trucks; and if they want more info on a rig, they can jump to the individual thread and seek more info or ask questions.
I hope this works out as I am not a webwheeler and I don't have a ton of time to search the 'ol interweb for truck ideas. I look forward to seeing what other 3rd gen owners have done to their rigs to make them more capable of backcountry exploration and living. Please chime in so that I can get; or possibly, steal ideas for future modifications
So I'll start:
-1989 Extra Cab
-stock 22re
-5-spead forward shift tranny converted to top shift with a twin sticked 4.7 geared T-case
-Suspension: BJ Spacer front with torsion bars relaxed 1/2", Old Man Emu rear
-4:88 gears, Detroit Locker in the rear
-33x10.50r15 BFG KM2's
-Mix of homebuilt and interweb purchased armor
-Wildernest camper (Sold, but looking at other truck camping ideas)
