Bojangles 1994 Pick-em-up build-em-up thread
Alright fellas...This is my official 1994 Toyota pickup build-up thread.
Its gonna be a semi slow process, ive already done a lot to the truck and i wish i would have put more pictures up.
Im 17 years old working at a Marina here in good ole Georgetown SC. And money is tight now a days, But most of every paycheck that comes in, goes right into my truck
.
I just wanted to have a thread to keep track of my progress on the truck.
SO...Here we go.
One day, I was riding down a residential street a few miles away and saw a BEAUTIFUL (to me) Yota…
Sitting in the guys yard…
I went back 2 days later with 2750 cash and she was mine (He was trying to buy a house and he got his girlfriend pregnant…he got charged with a DUI and lost his license, the truck had been sitting for a couple months and he had no hope of getting his license anytime soon, so he had to do what he had to do)
At the time 1994 Toyota pickup, 4x4, New 22RE with a 3 year/100,000 mile warranty from Jasper Engines…The engine had 700 Miles on it when I drove it out of his yard. 4” suspension lift from Skyjacker, 32X11.50R15 Trailblazer M/T’s that were about shot…Stock 4.10 gears. And bondo’d up ready for paint, It was a steal!
When I bought it the idle would jump between 1000 and 2000 RPM’s when I would touch the brakes…The previous owner swore this was due to the timing being off…I found this to be the Coolant Temperature Sensor…$20.00 bucks and had it fixed with no problem. I also bought a set of shocks and a steering stabilizer from Rough Country to put on hoping it would smooth up my ride a little bit
.
A few kids were playing with their dog in their front yard, and the dog decided to chase something across the road, I slammed on brakes and busted my brake lines because they were rusted through…I paid a fella I know to replace the brake lines and gas lines and UV joints. While he was at it I got him to rebuild the rear end and front end with new bearings(Because the Ring gear and Pinion were still in good condition and I did not have the money to purchase 4.88’s or 5.29’s to put back in it)…He did all of this for 300 bucks, Must have been hungry. Haha.
One night I found a little bit of mud to mess with, Nothing impressive, but I was excited to have mud on the truck for the first time!!!
I brought her home from work one day and decided to flex the good ole IFS one time.
Got me a personal sticker made that I knew NO ONE had around SC!
At 16 years old, a thousand dollars is hard to come by…But all I wanted was a brand new set of mud terrains…So dagum it I got me some 33X12.50R15 Cooper Discoverer stt’s.
I sanded that bondo down real good and went to it with the paint
A buddie of mine had a 1992 Toyota pickup that he had a black brush guard on and decided he didn’t want it anymore…Brush guard $10 bucks Fog lights at Autozone $40.00
Right around this time someone came up and offered me $1500 cash for my old Toyota pickup that was Just sitting there…I thought long and hard about it and since I needed the money, I went ahead and sold it to the guy with the understanding that if he ever wanted to get rid of it I would be the first one he called. I bought it for $800, sold it for $1500….Not to bad huh? Dang I missed that truck so freakin much! When he drove off with her I almost cried! Felt like my heart was being ripped out!
When i bought her
When i sold her
.
So now I only have my 1994 Toyota Pickup, 4x4, 22RE, 4” Skyjacker suspension lift, 33X12.50R15 Discoverer Stt’s, Stock 4.10 gearing.
So…Onward!!!
Realllllllllly cute girl from the beach called me up, and as we were talking she stated the fact that she had never been muddin…So I did what any gentleman would do…..
If you look real close, you can see where she scratched Josh <3’s Haley….Literally scratched. Haha. VV
Rode by the scrap yard recently and saw a claw about to pick a vehicle up that looked very familiar…I ran over and stopped the crane operator and went inside to talk to his boss…You wont guess what I found!!!
And I yes…I bought her back for $150 bucks! I called the guy I sold it to and he told me he threw a rod through the bottom of the motor because his oil pan drain plug came out, and drained all the oil out while he was playing in the mud. I guess he was to embarrassed to admit that he had done this so he took it straight to the scrap yard without letting me know!!! @$$ ****!!!! She is currently sitting at my buddies house with no motor while I look for a 22R/302/305..
Thanks for looking guys, Ill add more pictures as I upgrade different little things here and there Like I said…Probably gonna be a long and slow process with this 17 year olds minimum wage paychecks. Haha.

Just found these pics wayyyy back in the computer somewhere!
I slid onto a dirt road and there was a Tahoe that needed to be avoided. So i decided the ditch was the best option.
This is with my old tires on the truck.

Those were def Cheepo's from ebay, i regretted buying them the first day...
Although they looked good, i couldn't see a dagum thing at night.
After riding dirt roads and almost running straight into the woods because i couldn't see anything, i decided to put my old headlights back in.
I would NOT reccomend waisting 50 bucks on them.
Although i believe the ones i got off of ebay that are on the truck now are pretty nice. VVVVVVVVV

Haha i planned on buying new bulbs for them, but i figured they wouldn't help.
So i went ahead and put my old ones back in haha.
And im out here in good ole Georgetown county, South Carolina.
While im commenting, ive got a question (I may post a new thread to)
Im replacing my transmission in a couple days and im going to go ahead and put a new clutch, pressure plate, release bearing, rear main seal, all that good stuff in it...
But my question is, Should i go with the stock Autozone clutch, or should i invest a little more money for the marlin crawler clutch? Is it any better? What does the clutch kit from marlin include? Would it be better for my 33's im running? And i plan on putting 35's on soon so im guessing a more heavy duty clutch would be better?
Thanks guys.
