4 banger Toyota pickup as a wood hauler? (Show me your Toyota hauling!)

[fishercat]

Pretty simple.

I'll have to agree. 4Low is very handy. Sometimes I wish it was lower, but it's not bad. The nice thing about manual hubs is you can put it in 4Low without locking the hubs, and it's like having low range for 2wd.

I still haven't quite figured out how to bypass the high idle circuit when the engine is cold.

89-94 upper intake and throttle body. Ton's of articles about it online. I do them all the time.

Can you post a link to a couple? I haven't found much. There is a coolant line that goes to those IIRC. Mine is an 89 22RE. I didn't find much on Pirate, or toyotanation.

I did see one guy put some duct tape over the hole inside. I'd rather not do that.

Don't have any pics of it loaded up, but this is my 91, 3.slow. BJ spacers and 14" 100lb coil Zuk mod in the rear. Rides great. Been hauling potting soil lately, handles a wet yard just fine (~3000lbs) with room to spare in the suspension.

Mine looks identical, well except for the rust on mine and a different color. I love that little truck. Mine has the 22RE which works, but there isn't much power to spare. I'm just glad it's a standard and not an auto.

What is the Zuk mod? Mine sags a bit with a load, but it's not too bad.

The Zuk mod is a way of attatching a coil spring between the frame and axle. makes your leaf spring rear end into a coil spring. No sag, and a better ride.
Look it up on Yotatech! It was easy, less than an hour to install and about $80

I'll look for the links.

I'll go look at my 4runner to see what I did with that line. I don't remember. LOL

[stihly dan]

Did you put the 350 in? That was all the rage in the late 80's.

 

[ShaneLogs]

Yeah, Custom ground cam and everything in it, 4:10 gears, Griffin radiator and fans, list goes on and on.

yikes I aint never hauled wood in a truck that nice lookin before...that would scare me to death lol

 

[MGoBlue]

Best truck I've ever owned. I've loaded mine a lot more than that.

I remember I was ALL OVER my bump stops with that one. Any more and I would worry about bustin a spring.

Here's an old one w/ 6 railroad ties.

 

[johncinco]

Here is my tundra, no load on it. 234,000 miles. I have to take it in for another inspection, they are extending the recall/warranty for the rusted frames on some years. I had it in once already, they replaced the spare tire straps and the gas tank straps. All free. I do load it down on occasion though. Just discovered I have one broken leaf spring. It was hanging out the side and banging into stuff as I drove down the road. Also starting to get a modulating vibration/hum when driving. May be a bearing or something in the rear end. maybe just a bad tire. :msp_wink: I keep telling myself that anyway.
