85 Toyota Build

GrantH wrote:I have nothing against anyone on this forum but if you come into my build thread and stack the way I go about building my truck for no reason other than an egotrip, I'm not going to hold my tongue. I'm tired if people talking shit just because they don't like the way things are done. I have never ben negative towards anything on this site, so I don't expect to have that BS in my BUILD thread unless something seems unsafe or someone wants to do the work on the truck themselves.

OK...I'm gonna be nice just one more time......Y'all BOTH need to chill...drop this shit...get over it...and move on.....NOW....BOTH of ya....If ya can't say anything nice then just don't say anything.....DONE!!!!!

Hahaha back to the regular program of my BUILD.

The arms look super sick bro..when they goin on?? Showfest was badass too! Lol not tryin to rub it in or anything..

im sure it was, just didnt/dont have the funds for a show at the moment. savin for scrapin.

i'm hoping to put 'em in tomorrow, but theres no telling. with the truck not in the garage where i stay if i forget one thing i have to go all the way across town and usually just write the day off as no progress lol. im gonna shoot for tomorrow though.

I'm ready for some late night finishers

really? your going to stir shit up even more? there will be NOTHING else said about built/bought rides in my thread. i'll delete the whole damn thing and start over if i have to, but id hope yall would just leave well enough alone with the BS at this point.

WTF are you talking about....nobody said shit

Nah dude no offense. I meant nothing by what I said. We all have our late nights out but do what you please. Again I meant nothing by it.

I took it as you meant someone else would come in here and say something else smart. If not, my mistake.

Nah I of all ppl don't give a shit either way. Your truck your ideas. As long as it is yours when you're done then get with it. The truck is bad ass and it's comin along nicely. I'm ready to see the outcome at scrapin. Sorry for the bad timing. It's jus my truck hasn't been touched since before relaxin so I'm anxious to get my buckets and console in

i appreciate it man, its been a long road with the truck in many ways. hope to see yours at scrapin too!

itll definately be there. but in what condition i dont know heh

okay okay ill admit it im an asshole but your truck is def sick bro

those arms are purty...who does powdercoating in hburg?

heres another one for the books.

I went to fill my tank with some gas as it ran out when messing with things (its still in the garage) and noticed that my filler neck was leaking. Come to find out, its leaking badly. The guy (Jason Sutton of Meridian/Energy, Mississippi) that built my bed cut/welded the metal turndown that comes off the stock gas door pocket and apparently doesn't know wtf he is doing because the welds just let gas gush through. I was hoping it was just the hose wasn't clamped (which it wasn't) but a hose clamp didn't do much of anything. He also welded in the portion that should have been bolted in, so I have to cut it out right above my gas tank to even start to figure this shit out.

Now I need to find out either A)how to fix whats there, B)how to afford a fuel cell, or C)how to run some other kind of fuel tank in the bed somewhere.

id say call this dude back and tell him fix it

ya, that crossed my mind for maybe 2 seconds and then i realized it would never happen. so ill just tell everyone my story that may go to him and i'll tarnish his name and reputation that way rather than risk him fuckin up something else on my truck.

haha good thought

yep running his name into the ground is the best way. so who did the powdercoat?

Reputation rape... Classic

my ugly engine bay and sexy tube arms haha once its back on the road the engine bay will get attention before anything else. i believe i can eliminate some hard lines and wiring that are no longer used.


I have way more clearance with these arms as far as the bag goes, and I will have everything back together soon as the drop spindles come in from Stillen. The arms hit the wheels without them, so hopefully the extra bracket/arm clearance will make up that difference.
