The parts hauler. A 22R build story

[Dj Buttchug]

are those pistons new? So minty.

new pistons! whole set cost $100 bucks LOL

What are all the little aluminum tube thingies on the side of the valve cover?

Its vacuum line routing for EGR FPR ect. Kinda an interesting design.

Damn, that is a sweet overhaul. I need to get a small pickup and this is making me feel the need for a new project vehicle!

Damn what a deal hah. I was thinking no way he could clean those up so well. Oh and what did you use to dye the carpet black?

[Dj Buttchug]

Build is still going strong. Ended up getting a new hood and both fenders. Originals were very rusted out. Also replaced the tailgate due to rust. This is my first time experience with Sheib Paint and Body here in San Diego. They did a full respray in OEM Toyota white and fixed tons of dents. I don't have pictures of the rear bed but it was really bad. Came out well and the price was reasonable. 3 year warranty as well. Better pics to come.

Search CL for a pickup right now...amazing job! The engine looks so minty.

Wow very nice. If you don't mind me asking how much did you pay for the paint job.?

:crazy: insane prices these days

total cost was just over $1,500. It would have been alot less but I needed so many panels corrected and straightened.

Not a good deal but a fair one I think

Dang Buttchug, didn't realize you also have a yota. Your truck's the older brother of mine....



Roughly the same mileage too I'm getting close to 210,000 no rebuild though... but it did just get resprayed / lots of body work. Good work though dude, keep it up.

I came.

Nice build.

22RE goodness.

[Dj Buttchug]

Figured I should update:

Truck is pretty much complete and ready to go. Passed CA smog like a boss. Just restored the factory steelies and added some better tires.

Aside from a radio, a new 3rd brake, roof light and a bed liner the build is complete.

yay

Im into it for $5,100 Not sure if ill get all my money back if I ever sell it.

Almost 1k miles on new engine. Time for break in oil change.

[Dj Buttchug]

First I installed a temp sensor for better accuracy. 1/8 NPT thread.

Then I picked up a tach signal from the ignitor chip harness so now I can see engine speed and bam, some fast and furious pillar pods


Full RICE but came out clean.

I think I want to do that with my 4runner. Easy?

yes. Takes about 2 hours or so to wire properly.

Right at the thermostat housing I see. Mine it's metal. Might have to get one of those inline hose adapters.

Thanks!
