Kyle253 Posted May 30, 2017 Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 Tacoma, Wa member here. I've been a member for awhile. Haven't posted in some time. I've owned this truck for a little less than a year and decided I need to post it up. Haven't done much with it. It's mostly stock except for the obvious being lowered. Just put a new Weber 32/36 on the stock L16B. Wheels and tires were on it when I bought it. Been slowly getting back in shape with some help from dat521gatherer. Got plans for more in the future but they're just dreams right now. Currently in the market for a complete dash. Basically everything except the speedometer. Mine is thrashed and just needs to be tossed. 2 Quote Link to comment
racerx Posted May 30, 2017 Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 Nice...looks like a good start. 1 Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted May 30, 2017 Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 You could cover the dash top. 1 Quote Link to comment
Kyle253 Posted May 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 It's not the top that's the problem. It's the face. Looks like someone took pliers to the radio opening and just destroyed it. I'm also missing the whole glove box and glove box door. Also missing the black frame that goes around the speedo. So I am just looking to replace the whole thing. Not worth trying to fix. 1 Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted May 30, 2017 Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 Are you going to Canby? 1 Quote Link to comment
Kyle253 Posted May 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 Sadly not this year. I'm hoping to go next year. Once I get the L20b and 5 speed swap done I'll be able to go. Just don't feel comfortable running the 4 speed down there at such high rpms for that long. 1 Quote Link to comment

dat521gatherer Posted May 30, 2017 Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 Cool you started a thread on your truck. Looking good. I'm going to Canby on Sunday this year. 1 Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted May 30, 2017 Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 Your 4 speed will be just fine driving down there. Hell, you'll be stuck in traffic the whole way there...no high RPMs like that. 3 Quote Link to comment
hobospyder Posted May 30, 2017 Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 I've done l16 with 4 speed in a 620 from Burlington to Eugene and back up. Your 4 speed will handle just fine. Get some earplugs to protect your hearing if it's too loud for you, l16s love revving. 1 Quote Link to comment
Kyle253 Posted May 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 It's definitely loud. I've taken on the freeway before. Just haven't gone very far with it. With everything rattling and vibrating makes for a somewhat unpleasant drive. 1 Quote Link to comment
racerx Posted May 30, 2017 Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 Heck...I have an L18 w 4speed and daily driver, I just stay in slow lane and make sure i have tools. 2 Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted May 30, 2017 Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 I did 500 miles last August with an L16/4speed. 70-75mph the whole way. Good to go...er, I mean loud as fuck. 1 Quote Link to comment
