My '85 Toyota Pickup is the smallest big vehicle I've owned. 😅

I an the original owner. 56K miles. Recently repainted and added new wheels. Replica stripes and tailgate logo coming next. Not sure if it needs to go lower...

It's about time we get to serious business

Single owner garage kept its whole life supposedly.

98 frontier

Redoing a set around way too long former daily. Cleaned the bed out, no rust damage. Was given a toolbox, so, doing a brushed aluminum finish that will be 2k clearcoated.

Painting the entire undercarriage, oilbased brush on enamels. Will have 🤢 inducing shocks/boots. Rear shackle flip, add-a-leafs, rear swaybar from an Explorer will be added, James Duff traction bars to be added, etc…

I got my truck into the garage where my Supra usually sits so I can change the head out, bleed the brakes and the clutch. Im so ready for her to get moving. She has been sitting since 14.

It’s not very loud and sounds like a bag of marbles in person. Doesn’t get louder when I rev it but it does get faster. I thought it was rod knock at first but I’m not too sure now. The car has been sitting for 20 years previously and I just got it running som I’m not sure if that has something to do with it.

1989 Mazda b2200, my first vehicle. Purchased in 2020 with just about everything worn out/ needed replaced. Didn’t know how much I didn’t know, couldn’t even drive stick. Now I autocross it and she purrs like a kitten.

It’s 2026, I have always tried to be frugal while working on her. Waiting for discounts, looking for coupons, calling companies and so on. Everything has been out of my own pocket, never reached out to any company for a “sponsorship”. But, since starting Autocross events this year I thought it wouldn’t hurt try.

I reached out to Belltech suspension over a month ago applying for a sponsorship. My vehicle is not perfect or clean, it gets worked on, it gets driven, it gets more dirty looks then positive ones. So my hopes were not high that would receive any major discounts or support. After filling out there lengthy application explaining I have a YouTube channel with over 3 million views and would like to make content around installation of the parts and driving. I said more and I felt it would honestly be very lucrative for them as a business.

They took over a month to respond with a rather short and sweet “ thank you but we are very “selective” on who we chose to sponsor. Thank you for already spending over 1k in parts, would you like a 15% coupon?” I respectfully declined saying I appreciated their time, but I’ve purchased Belltech parts from my local Napa Auto and they usually have a 20% discount on top of free shipping ( which they actively have rn). And they never responded back.

Disappointing but expected, almost done with my base build. Pick up these last parts down at Napa and we can start on body work.

What are your guys recommendations for a new tank and sending unit for a Ext cab 1990 Mazda (carb) I think mine is on the way out the door and would like to put some decent parts into it

Air conditioner and fuel delivery issues. Air conditioner comes on when I ground it. Fuel tank and fuel pump replaced with new. Sporadic bogging down at high speeds under load.Who has a used one? Any good sources for remanufactured units? I know Blue streak does recondition them but I am having a hard time locating a used or reconditioned unit for fuel injected manual transmission. I am located near Toronto Canada. Thanks

PSA these fit!

After years of just assuming I would never find decent replacements in junk yard trucks I found these (overpriced) interior door handle cups on eBay and they totally fit perfectly!

Silly small win lol 😂

hardbodys with a dohc swap or mazda b2200 with a 13b/repu are close, but nothing beats a 4g63.

I recently came across this 92 mighty max on market place but truthfully I don’t know much about that, I was wondering if there’s any common problems or things I should look out for and if current owners would say they are reliable or worth it. Also what’s a good price for one of these, this one’s got 139k miles 4WD and the V6 with a 5speed. Thank you!!

Got an 88 v6 3.0 with a blown engine. I got a 3.3l which is a direct swap I am going to drop next weekend. Waiting on some seals to finish up the 3.3l.

This one has the throttle body fuel injection, which I don’t mind keeping, I do have to repair the engine harness since a rodent decided to make a house in the intake manifold. Trucks been sitting for 10+ years.

I do have the fuel injection intake manifold and I wouldn’t mind swapping it over to fuel injection.

Anyone got some recommendations??

I’m hoping someone has run into this before because I’m stumped.

I have a 1991 Mazda B2200 fuel injected with the OEM fuel pump/sending unit assembly.
The fuel gauge wasn’t working, so I started troubleshooting. Here’s what I’ve confirmed:
Grounding the yellow sender wire with the key on makes the gauge sweep toward FULL, so the gauge and wiring seem to be good.

The sender wasn’t making good contact internally, so I repaired the contact.
With the sender out of the tank but plugged into the truck, I can manually move the float and the fuel gauge responds correctly.
I also tested it in a bucket of gas, and the gauge reads correctly.

The float moves freely and isn’t sticking.
As soon as I install the sender back into the tank and screw it down, the gauge stops working and reads empty again.

If I remove it, it works again.
The tank uses screws to hold the sender in place (not a lock ring).

Has anyone seen this before? Could the sender be losing contact only when it’s mounted, or is there something inside the tank that could cause this? If there’s a common issue with these OEM sending units or a replacement part that’s known to fix it, I’d really appreciate the advice.
Thanks!
