1989 Toyota Pickup Linked Caged 3.4L swap
1989 Toyota 2WD V6 extended cab chassis.
Caged with 1.75x.120 front to rear bumper.
Probably 230K on frame/cab and transmission, rear 3rd member has about 6K on it, engine is a bit unknown but runs really strong.
Drivetrain
3.4L V6 swapped in. Solid motor mounts, the motor is actually the exact motor Dan Vance nicknamed the "miracle motor". It's the last motor he raced on during his 3.4L days. This is the motor he overalled the night race in back in the day. Still runs STRONG!!! No leaks, never low on oil, doesn't burn any oil that I know of. Transmission is a factory 5 speed manual. Seems to be in great shape, doesn't grind or pop out of gear, shifts smooth.
Rear Axle
ford 9" housing
explorer disc brakes
fully trussed
currie 9+ nodular third
spool
5.04 gears
31 spline axles
This setup works great on the street and the dirt! Can cruise 75mph comfy on the highway yet still has great pickup in the dirt. If it was going to be a pure dirt truck I'd go a bit lower to get more use out of 5th gear on the flats but overall it's a great combo. Custom driveshaft built by adam's driveline in the vegas area using a heavy duty carrier bearing. In 3 years of running I've never had any issues.

Misc
32 gallon fuel cell, OE tacoma fuel pump and sending unit

2 fullsize spares
33x12.50 bfg KM2 tires on it currently in EXCELLENT condition, spares are a/t's
KMC 15" beadlocks, spray painted black with color matched plasti dipped beadlock rings.
2 7 inch HID bumper mounted
Included
matching carbon fiber center consol
extra set of 5 x 5.5 rear axles ready to slide into rear axle
BMS spindle plate, was going to build dana 44 based spindles and change over to 5x5.5 which is why I have the rear axles also.
Any other random spares I can find around here but don't remember off the top of my head.
Things I have done since purchase
Rebuild rear shocks
Rebuild rear bump stops
New rear calipers
44" LED light bar roof mounted
2 7 inch LED bumper lights
New front wheel bearings
I will continue to work on the truck and if it sells great, if not I haven't lost any time on it
Truck runs great with no issues. Keep in mind this is a purpose built off road truck. truck is very rugged and everything is solid mounted. It creeks,squeeks, clanks. I use this as a daily driver with no issues keep in mind it has no ac/heater or defrost. I drove it back from vegas, to and from SD to phoenix multiple times and 10+ weekends of taking it to the desert driving it for the weekend and driving it home. Serious buyers with CASH IN HAND i can take on a day run out to ocotillo if it will close the deal. PRICE DROPPED TO 12,000 FIRM FOR A QUICKER SALE NO TRADES please text 619-971-6726
