- '84 yota 4x4 ALH TDI, '03 Jetta wagon(soon to be 6speed)
Hello all! Just joined the forums, the name's Ben. Anyways i got my 1984 toyota 4x4 pickup that I've had for many years now, and it's finally time to say goodbye to the ol'reliable 22r gasser. She's served me well hauling firewood and my tools around, but its time to get a REAL truck engine under that 30 year old Japanese hood, one without spark plugs!
Here she is:
As you can see I'm also currently painting the frame and building a flatbed, or i may replace it with a factory bed if i can find one in good enough condition.. P.S. this is a longbed version of the truck (longer wheelbase) And for anyone wondering those are 35x13.50r15 toyo m/t's on 15x10 alloys and the rear end is a v6 pumpkin with a 4.88 ratio. Truck has a 4inch suspension lift with hi-steer.
And the trusty little 22r that's now up for sale (PM me if interested, not sure how many toyota guys are on this forum)
And the donor patient, a 2000 Beetle TDI 5speed. I was trying to find a wrecked VW so i didn't have to tear apart a complete vehicle but this one threw its timing belt and the price was too good to pass up for a complete rig. Everything that i don't need for the swap is for sale (Tranny, Wheels, Radiator, AC system, Interior pieces, Body Components)
And here is the ALH and all its glory Before its even in the truck i plan on deleting the egr and having the ecu reflashed for more power, as well as cleaning everything up and of course ALL new timing components.
