82YOTA14's '82 Toyota Longbed Project
#24
Well I haven't been able to update my build for awhile but I am still working on fixing it up. I recently bought some racing seats for it that I have since put in. I have been working on the interior for the most part. But I hope to have that done soon so I can move on to a motor swap and painting my rig. I plan on putting a 2rz in it.
Here is a picture of the seats I bought
Then here is a picture of them in the truck, I had to make a custom bracket to get them to fit right in the truck
I also put a carpet kit in it

Got my fenders cut as well so I can fit the new plate style bumper I am getting custom made for my rig
I am getting it powder coated right now otherwise I would post a picture of it. Can't wait to get it on.

Dang I love that front bumper on that thing looks great! Pretty sure I saw this on cl a while ago, you've done really good work looks much better, I might have missed it but what size tires are those?

Thanks! I picked the truck up about a year ago and knew it was going to be a project but that I could build it how I wanted. The bumpers are custom made and I love them! The tires are 33x12.5x15 but I think I might put 35's on it, I'm still debating because I would like to see 35's on it before I buy them.

The place that made my bumper is called Off Road Components or ORC, it's a small shop in Oregon run by two guys. The owner is extremely talented and can make just about anything you want, I just gave him an idea of what I wanted and the next day he sent me a picture of the bumper I bought. He makes tube bumpers as well.

Finally got a winch for the new bumper and got it installed, haven't tried it out yet but hoping to soon! I'm hoping to buy a 2rz next to do a motor swap so I will post more when I'm closer to doing that.

Looks like they know what they are doing! This is the best design that I have seen that involves cutting the fenders - most people tend to hack it all up and it looks like crap, but this is super clean. I drew up plans for a similar bumper, but my design allowed me to retain the lower valance and didn't require cutting the fenders, but still wrapped around the fenders a little for protection.
How did you mount it? Would you mind taking some pictures of the back side to show what you used to mount it?

They made two tabs that weld to my frame, here is a picture of what they look like.
The bumper just slides in on the inside of the tabs and bolts on, it's nice because it makes it easy to take it on and off.
