Thanks everyone, ticket sales are going great. We are also very thankful for part donations as well. Thank you Paranoid Fabrication for the exhaust hangers.
http://i966.photobucket.com/albums/ae148/daveztoyotaparts/advertising/paranoid1.jpg
These will work great with the new 2.25" exhaust system we will be putting in. :shades:

[Max]

Looks like a good start! Man those leaf springs are rusty.

[TOYOTAPARTS]

Yup, nasty! good thing its getting all new ones! :)

[Patrolman]

Nice work!

[TOYOTAPARTS]

Thanks, its really starting to come together. More pics coming. Remember this TRUCK could be yours!:steer:

[TOYOTAPARTS]

Oh yea. I am thinking grey for the color. About this shade:
http://i966.photobucket.com/albums/ae148/daveztoyotaparts/vehicles/sponsortruckkoh2011_zps90ede221.jpg

with silver or blue bumpers and sliders and such.

[TOYOTAPARTS]

I need some feed back. Which is more desirable? Hood high flat stinger or pointed for the front bumper on the Raffle truck.

http://i966.photobucket.com/albums/ae148/daveztoyotaparts/new%20parts/daveztubebumpers010-1_zps12a1ee67.jpg

[Rick]

pointed for the front bumperI like the pointed one

[Chris]

I like the pointed one too, the flat looks good on a less aggressive truck.

[RidgeRunner]

I like the flat one, I've never liked the look of the tall pointy stingers. Makes the truck look like it has a chubby all the time.

[KnuckleHead]

Pointed looks better

[The StRanger]

My vote is for Flat ...
Somthin about the pointy just dont look right...

[Patrolman]

I prefer the flat. Gives a place to mount lights to later if you want. Indifferent regarding the looks, all about practicality here.

[ColoJeeper]

I like the flat better, but would make it a bit taller.

[TOYOTAPARTS]

ok, from a tally of all the opinions, hood high flat stinger gets the vote. Although if the Winner wants to change it out for something different I am fine with that.

I really want to thank all of those who have helped. They have all made a huge difference. You guys here on PBB have only seen the tip of this project. It has been in the works for almost 2 years.
I just got word that the retail value of just what Trail-Gear has donated so far is peeking the $8,000 mark. Thank you Trail-Gear (Matt Messer)

Also:
RTF, PRP, Paranoid Fab, Plasma Thought,

[Patrolman]

Thanks to all that donated parts and time! This is very generous.

[Chris]

:thumb: It's always nice to see something like this and the generosity of everyone involved.

[TOYOTAPARTS]

Thanks guys, just remember that it can take just one ticket to put this truck in YOUR driveway :steer:

[TOYOTAPARTS]

I have not got a tire sponsor yet, but damn look at these sexy rims that are here !!

[TOYOTAPARTS]

Please buy some tickets.
PRP really came through with some sweet seats. Then if a super nice pair of custom seats wasn't enough they offered up some nice harnesses. I cant wait to see these.:D

We plan to have this truck at KOH. We have a trailer but no tow rig/person to get the truck to KOH. If anyone is driving down and can tow a trailer we should could use the help getting it there. Thank you

[TOYOTAPARTS]

We started with the rear suspension first, pulled it in for cutting up.

[Patrolman]

You have your work cut out for you, but it is a great base to start with and lots of goodies to go on it! Nice build!

[TOYOTAPARTS]

Thanks, we will get er' done. We are use to this stuff. :cheers:

[Chris]

It's been a number of years since I've been to Placerville, I look foward to visiting again to pick this up! :rolleyes:

Dave, is there a PayPal account setup for selling these raffle tickets?

If not you all should consider it, great for spur-of-the-moment sales and for those with a "secret stash" to avoid spousal curiosity about "more money being spent on the truck?" (not that I'd know about those sorts of things) :lmao:

[TOYOTAPARTS]

I hear ya, but Raffles taking a Paypal payment is not legal. Prob because if someone didnt win they could claim a dispute lol. We will take checks made out to a number of different things if you need to hide who the check was made out to. I will even send a receipt for whatever you claim you spent the money on:2thumbup:

[ctracy5]

That is gonna be one sweet ride!

[TOYOTAPARTS]

Here is a peek at just some of the parts,

Nice! I hadn't thought of the legalities and PayPal.

[TOYOTAPARTS]

Double checking on the right transmission to use. I think a G series would be a better choice. I have a W56 in my first Gen and the trans shifter is quite a distance back from the dash.
http://i966.photobucket.com/albums/ae148/daveztoyotaparts/RTF%20Raffle%20truck/raffletruck054_zpsde2c95ae.jpg

We laid a couple transmissions out along side of each other and found that a G series transmission shifter is 2.25 inches closer to the front of the trans. This would give more room between the T case shifter and the trans shifter.

http://i966.photobucket.com/albums/ae148/daveztoyotaparts/RTF%20Raffle%20truck/raffletruck055_zps696a2f40.jpg

PRP seats have been made and picked up! These are some sweet seats. Made just for the Raffle truck and donated by PRP seats. These guys ROCK! Thank you Jason at PRP for making this happen. Thanks to everyone else at PRP as well.:D

These are the daily driver seats that PRP makes. I cant wait to get them installed. They are super comfy sitting in them on the ground.
http://www.davezoffroadperformance.com/store/interior/seats/prp-seat.html

[TOYOTAPARTS]

We also were super excited to get an unexpected box from the man in brown. PRP said the seats just wouldn't be right with stock belts draped across the front. They sent us a pair of their 5.3 harnesses.
http://i966.photobucket.com/albums/ae148/daveztoyotaparts/RTF%20Raffle%20truck/prpbelts001_zps7c77bae0.jpg


This 3”, 5 point seat belt has sewn in pads for comfort, all black hardware for cool styling and quick adjusters on the shoulders. The new quick adjusters fix a problem that has been an issue with off road seat belts for years. Once a belt gets some dirt and water in the webbing they become very difficult to adjust, these new adjusters will always provide a quick easy to use seat belt.

The seat belt also has a removable sternum strap, and a red latch guard on the lap belt. The lap belt bolts in. The shoulder harness and crotch strap can either bolt down or wrap around a roll bar.

Man that is just sweet!

[TOYOTAPARTS]

Thanks guys,

A PBB user that bought tickets to have a shot at winning this truck mentioned what he is doing to improve his chances at winning. I thought it was cool enough to share, so that if you are not doing this stuff (like some are) and you dont win you will know why.:D

"Wow that was fast. Thanks... I've got my 5leaf clover rabbit foot pedestal incents burning budda jesus unicorn shrine showered in rainbow light all set up to keep them in."
Good luck everyone.

[TOYOTAPARTS]

We got a VERY cool new product from Low Range Off Road for the Raffle truck. Trans Shift knob that looks like a hub.
Thanks guys from Low Range, got to meet these guys at KOH. Super cool dudes. The dial actually turns and has a detent so it feels just like a real hub :smokin:

We got a sweet 3 row radiator from Eagle Radiator. They started out in 1978 on lower Main Street and provided the community with complete radiator service and repairs. Whether it was a small radiator repair, complete radiator rebuild, or supplying the customer with a new radiator. If the problem had to do with a radiator, Eagle Radiator was the place to take care of it.

Welcome (http://eagleradiatorandmuffler.com/)


In 1997 Eagle Radiator moved to a new location at the El Dorado "Y" 5696 Mother Lode Drive in Placerville, CA. With the new move and expansion, came the new name of Eagle Radiator and Muffler.



Now, Eagle Radiator and Muffler Inc. has branched out to meet your automotive repair needs as well. Take a look at our Services and give us a call, or just come on in.


thank you Eagle Radiator

Ok, life and sickness must have it in for me this year but I am pushing through. Only this week can I even breath half way normal. Still a nasty cough that makes my ribs feel like a horse kicked me.

This pic may not do justice but the knuckle ball on the Rock Assault is about .080 thicker than a stock knuckle ball. I didnt know that and after taking a close look its impressive.

[TOYOTAPARTS]

The seats were not hard at all. We grabbed a pair of stock seat brackets. Added some flat 2"x 1/4" plate. Welded some tabs on and reinforced it. Slides back and forth great. The seats are made with a tilt (backwards) so mounting them flat worked perfectly.

Seat belts! Man I wish I had this set up in my own rig. Super comfy and safe feeling.

Is there plenty of leg room with the new seats/sliders? That is always the problem I have with the 1st gen. My 4Runner provides much more room.

[TOYOTAPARTS]

I am 6' 250lb and I fit. This truck doesnt even have a tilt column.

[Patrolman]

Might be something I have to look into. I am 6' and 205lb, so the fit is probably similar.

[The StRanger]

That is always the problem I have with the 1st gen.

Same problem I have in any Standard cab !!!

[TOYOTAPARTS]

I just tried calling to get some tix but got the answering machine. Sure hope I didn't miss out on my opportunity! :(

[Popsgarage]

Sweet shifters.

We are out back working on the truck. I will be in the office for 10 more min.....6:15 now

[TOYOTAPARTS]

Well, I am leaving the stock steering column in this time. The ignition switches (elect part) are different.

So rather than cut and splice (like I see a lot) We will switch the plugs around.


http://i966.photobucket.com/albums/ae148/daveztoyotaparts/RTF%20Raffle%20truck/IMG_9352_zps017ffc0d.jpg


Remove the the wires from the old switch's plug.


http://i966.photobucket.com/albums/ae148/daveztoyotaparts/RTF%20Raffle%20truck/IMG_9354_zps7684cbf7.jpg


Swap over the EFI harness ignition plug.


http://i966.photobucket.com/albums/ae148/daveztoyotaparts/RTF%20Raffle%20truck/IMG_9355_zps5f12bf3a.jpg


Done, hopefully it starts :homer:


http://i966.photobucket.com/albums/ae148/daveztoyotaparts/RTF%20Raffle%20truck/IMG_9356_zps3eabd458.jpg


These help when the colors dont match and you want to make sure you are putting the wires in the right spot

Not the glasses, the diagrams, had to get glasses this year :shaking: sucks getting old.

[ILuvtheMountains]

Got my tickets!!! Now I just need to go build up some good karma :) hopefully teaching 8th graders got me a little to begin with...

[TOYOTAPARTS]

I just want to say Thank you, to all who spent their hard earned cash to try and win the truck. Trail-Gear and I know that it is a shot in the dark to whether or not one might win, but with the thought that the money was going to a good cause you went for it. So from the bottom of our hearts we thank ALL of you. Keeping the trail open for our families in the future is important to us all.


To whoever wins, I hope you realize the sweat and tears that went into this truck. We hope you enjoy it and wheel it proudly. Thank you. Good luck all.! :D


Dave and crew.

that is exactly why I did. I hope I win but I know that I want to run the rubicon one day and I want it to be open when I go for it. Good luck to everyone who entered!

[ILuvtheMountains]

So who won anyway?

[TOYOTAPARTS]

After over 300 prizes were given away it was now time to pick a winner for the 79 Toyota truck. Dave dug real deep into all the tickets to find the winner
we all have been wondering who it was to be.

The name was kept secret until they wrote the name on the banner and
then announced "Mike Fisher"of Georgetown is the WINNER! He was there to accept the prize and was quite surprised. The look on his face when the winner was announced was awesome.

We ran into some fuel issues towards the end of the week and lost a lot of time that should have been spent finishing the truck. Mike knows all about the things we have to finish and is quite happy with his win of a new truck. As soon as we finish everything up Mike will come to the shop to pick up his new truck and we will hit the trail for a BBQ and pics of its maiden voyage. Thanks Mike for being a super winner.
We will continue this thread with the rest of the build and wheeling pics as they happen. So stay tuned.
