To post pics you need to open yourself a free photobucket account and upload you pics to it. Once you do that photo bucket will assign your pics 4 different links, each link is for posting different places like email, and face book and forums. You will need to copy and paste the IMG link to post them. It's so asy even I can do it. Now start a build up thread and post some pics of that thing!

Thx !! Just a work in progress. Took the tailgate off the other day. Gonna take some measurements and build in a swing gate and tire carrier combo. The red frame is just a frame for a custom shell I'm building. Steel top for the antennas, aircraft grade composite doors, sides, and rear lifting door molded to fit the spare in nice and snug all aerodynamic-like.
Keep checking the link in my sig for updates every other week or so. I haven't figured out how to post pics or a build thread just yet, but when I do, I'll put everything up here to share with all.

I have always been a Jeep guy and since I got the license i have had five Jeeps. but because of the sky high fuel price here in Iceland I finally saw the light and bought a 1994 Pickup as a daily driver, and by far that is the best investment I have ever made. It also helped my father had owned one in the past along with friends and family.
Here's the '84 my father used to own. It had a 2.4 Diesel engine with turbocharger and 5 speed. Detroit lockers front/rear. It was on 36" Mudder tires rather than 38".
This here is my daily driver. It has a 22RE engine and a 5 speed manual trans. I'm very pleased with it, aside from the wheels are also pink, that's need to be changed. But it gets me where i need to go and gets decent mileage also. It's every motocross racers dream
Best regards.

Hey, Kristjan, ..... that color is "Island Punch" from Jelly Belly's! lol... Not pink... Actually, maybe I'm just getting color blind, as I age, haha. Nice rigs, and I wonder, ....does your pops regret getting rid of the 84? NICE!
PS> Are you saying you're painting the whole thing another color, or just the wheels? I vote for black on the wheels, if just the wheels! lol.

My plans where just to paint the wheels on the pink one, because even though it's pink or "Island Punch" as you mentioned, it ain't that bad apart from the wheels. The color I had in mind was gun metal or similar gray.
I would say that he regrets selling it because when I saw nothing but some old Jeep Cj's he would recommended me to buy me self an old trustworthy Toyota Hilux/4Runner. Apart from this Toyota I have only had some rigs that had old Chevy V8 so this thing is all new to me, And I don't know why I just didn't buy a Toyota when I got the license, It would have saved so much time and trouble
In those days when he (dad) had his truck the diesel price was hilariously low. If we compare the price in Isk to Usd, then a one gallon of diesel would have cost about a dollar when he owned his Yota. Today it costs about seven dollars !!! So It's quite expensive to travel in the highlands, especially if you have a V8 Truck...
Here I'm going to post some pictures of one of my fathers off road trip's (This was when it did still snow in Iceland, Around 1990's)
This probably had a 2.4 Diesel engine, It's on 38" Dick Cepek tires. Those are probably the most popular 4x4 for use in snow here in Iceland. And that's for a reason ! Somehow you don't see many of those in the Us ?
My father's and the black one is a '88 Extra Cab that had a 3.0 V6, Seems to me it's on 38"-40" Mickey Thompson's.
Somewhere in highlands.
Many of those Standard or Extra Cab trucks got these plastic tops on the beds and got opened up, Thus the cab was cut up and connected to the bed, so you got a space similar to a 4Runner.
My uncle built this one. Somewhere in the progress it got a V6 4.3 Chevy and 700 trans with Toyota doubler. It also got a 12 Bolt Chevy carriers into the original Toyota axles, on top of it all it got some 44" tires.
You can't always stay on top of the snow.
Proof !
Best regards. Hope you enjoy.

My first Toyota,it cost me $350, its a 1990 4runner SR5.
Before a little bit of rust repair.
After rust repair
I plan on putting a lift in it,33" or 35" tires not sure yet, I was also looking in to ARB air lockers.
Any tips hints or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

haha, the reason for this insanity was that the hitch in the 4runner was rusted in its reciever. Believe it or not, the 4runner was getting pulled backwards and it still did not come out. The brakes were being held at the time as well. It took lots of oxy and a BFH, then a tug or two to get it apart. The Hitch was destroyed.
That is one of my favorite pictures...
cheers

Assuming you have a manual trans, not an automatic, I'd say ideally you'd want 4:56's for 33's or 4:88's for 35's I had a 95 4runner with a 4 inch lift on 33's with 4:30's it did all right but I think it coulda used 4:56's. That's my opinion and you know what they say about opinions lol search around here and you'll find there's lots of good info on it and somewhere (I believe it was google) i actually found a chart that shows all the gear ratios with tire sizes ect. I'll post a link on here if I can find it. Welcome to Yotatech!!
And without any further a due here is my work in progress:
In the driveway
and it was the only parkin spot left lol

Me and the yota hit a ditch last night hard. Flew through the windshield. Got 5 stitches. Got no picks of her wrecked because we've already fixed her in the 6 hours since I was discharged from the hospital 
. Missing my blinker and my fenders banged up. Pic of that later. Here's me lol.
