92 Toyota Pickup

[YotaTyler418]

92 Toyota pick up 2wd


Plan:
-build bed cage to fit the 18in triple tube bypasses that came with the truck
-2 spare tires in the back
-some sort of roll bar or roll cage



Took the leaf pack apart



Whoever originally installed the bump stops decided it was a good idea to have it bump off of the u bolt lol.



Cardboard template for bump plate



Thanks to Mike at fablab for cutting the plates out, First time welding and I'm stoked with the results



Bump plates are installed and welded to the axle

Shocks are mocked up and cycle properly



Main structure of the bed cage is complete




Limit straps mounted.

Very cool. Looking good!

After making a few runs to the hardware store to get more paint, the back is painted!

 

[YotaTyler418]

Back is somewhat complete. Got the home depot speed strap to hold the spares. Still need to mount bedsides and rear lights. Any brake experts in here? After bleeding brakes I still have a squishy pedal and hardly any brakes. Thinking there's still air somewhere in the system.

Squishy brakes is air in the system, firm yet falling is leaky cylinders, leaky fittings lead to no brakes and good times.

This looks like a fun little truck, can't wait to see it in action. I have a wider rear axle that will mostly drop in if your interested.

I highly recommend a Motive power bleeder for doing the brakes. For Toyota you will have to use the Motive 1101 cap or the complete 0101 which include the power bleeder and cap needed. I used it for my Tundra and didn't spill a drop and cured my squishy brake problem. For what it's worth, I can bleed the brakes on my car with 8 bleeders total in less time than it takes me to get the car on jack stands and remove the wheels.

I like the roll bar outside the cab. Gives you more cab space inside.

First trip out was definitely a success!



The rear window decided to shatter from a rock getting thrown in the rear window



Few pictures of the truck over the weekend



The truck worked great and I'm beyond stoked with how it came out!


Next:
-The rear end is way too stiff and shocks need to be revalved and rebuilt.
-Need a new rear window, thinking lexan
-Bedsides need to be mounted and tail lights wired up/mounted
-Front lightbar

Right next to Moorpark and Janss

Keep a glass window back there and figure out some paneling to stop rocks from doing that. Leave scratches super bad.
