Home.....dunno....I'm homeless
The jebsurf project 4x4 toyota build.
Ok, first off I have a 92 toyota 4wd pick up that I bought off of craigslist that I will be building little by little. I'm doing nothing crazy right now but just in the process from bringing it back from the dead. Here some pics of the cond the truck was in when I got it
Ugly as shit rims and chipping paint
I have to start off with the history of the truck first. The first day I had it the truck fucking thing blew up on my way to work.
. It was nothing that I did and the motor was in good working order when I bought it. But the guy told me that it had a fresh oil change( and I checked and the oil on the stick was fresh as shit) soooo I took his word for it. Well needless to say the dumb ass forgot to tighten the oil drain plug and it backed out on my first day and dumped all of the oil out on my way to work and kaboom. I have some pics of the first motor that I bought. I bought this motor not knowing much about it and didn't know that not all 22r's are equal.And boy was I wrong
The guy I got it from said those pistons were not stock and were high compression and to be honest due to the dome I bought into it. He also said it was an efi motor and I fell into that also because he had a efi mani bolted up to it
.
But anyhow after doing some research

and a few other spots I found out that it was a stock 22r motor and not a rec(fuel injected)and would NOT work for my setup.
. So I just ended up selling that motor(for a loss) and going and rebuilding the original motor that came out of the truck. Sorry for the lack of pics but I ended up going with

rebuild kit (.30 pistons over) and a 268 deg aftermarket cam. And I can not express how much happier I am with that cam and that setup! Sorry but this is the only pic of the new motor in the truck. Gotta love shinny block.Sorry about the lack of pics of the motor build
The odometer said the truck only had 100k miles on it (also checks out on car fax) so I figure since the truck has almost 0 rust and a new motor I might as well keep it and build it like I want. I hated those rims so that was one of the first things to scrap and the truck needs new tires so I got these monsters
They are 325/60/15r(best equaled out to standard 31.5x13x15 and they look like they poke a lot because they are only 31" tall) bfgoodwrinch mud terrains and the rims are American Eagle Type 102 Wheels 15x12 wide. I picked them up and got them mounted and balanced at pungo offroad.I also love the short and wide stance so I am also running a 2" wheel spacers(we will get to those later).
