I'm back, but this time with a different truck!

I sold my 91 regular cab a little while back, I am 6'5 and it was just a little too small for my needs! I was looking for an extended cab for about a month, finally 1 popped up locally for 500 bucks! I ended up paying 450, but it was pouring smoke out the tail pipe. The interior, aside from the not stock carpet, and rips in the seats was in excellent shape.


this is what it looked like, you can still see my old regular cab in next to it! (the person who bought my truck was not able to pick it up for a while after the purchase))



here is after pulling the head


then deciding to just do a full rebuild

damn your pistons look clean, mine were coated with black shit from carbon and oil deposites. I cleaned them and they still didn't look that good

that's because it was getting steam cleaned with water / antifreeze

The engine had a small oil leak



under the hood



block back from the shop! (bored .020 , new bearings, decked)



pretty.....


I would have been thrilled if everything would have went smooth, but had an issue with the head.... coolant filled cylinder 2, and not just a slow drip either, basically pouring it in. Ended up rebuilding a different head which resolved the coolant loss issue.

I added some 16" tacoma steelies . I think they look decent, but not enough to have to worry about them being stolen

...nice work. congrats.

Not too shabby

What tires are you running with those Tacoma steelies? I just got the same ones, 15 inch right?

that was a quik rebuild, nice job man.

the rims are 16" , off like a 2004 tacoma. 215 60 16 is what the size is that made the speedometer read correct.
