Yeah, but my photos are all saved to the computer and don't have URLs.

I'm not a dude. Which makes getting burned that much worse. Oh well, live and learn.

The response has been overwhelming, thanks a bunch. Truck's for sale. I got burned.

Can't speak to Costco, but I sure know how good the KLR is!

I'm really over a barrel here. I put in a new seat, new teflon bushing. Still popping out of fifth gear. Don't know what to do next.

I found a kind-of-close blowup of the parts. The plate that I can move with my hands, even though the bolts are tight, is the part called the "retainer" on this photo. http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z41/coffee_brake/85toyotashifter_zps598b1f2c.jpg

No ideas?

I got the shifter off. I don't know if I'm supposed to go any further than this. The plate in the photos, that has the bolts in it, that has slop in it. It wiggles a good 1/8" just by holding it with my fingers. The bolts were plenty tight, with lock-tite on them, but the plate was still able to...

gotcha....

It's a lot worse than I thought. An old wrench showed me that the truck is actually a 5-speed, that won't stay in 5th gear. Just great....

I think I scored a good set locally, I think they're Ranger rims. Now if I could just get that spare down...

Shipping from NY to GA might be a bit expensive....

well brakes are passable, now to find out how the electronic choke works...

I bled everything till there was no more air in the system. I don't remember anything about adjusting clicks on the brake lever. You mean the e-brake?

I think I've got it for now at least. I took the non-bleeding shoes off and just cleaned everything up and put it all back together. Everything finally bled out right and the brakes, while still not stellar, are much better and the pedal doesn't plunge to the floor like it did. The e-brake is...

There is no bleeder valve between the two rear wheels. They are connected with a hard line with a "T" and that goes up to the front M/C. Here are photos of what I found. I have a parts diagram but I don't know the condition of what I'm looking at...

thanks, can get to that next. Working all weekend but from the bike.

If I haven't said it clearly enough, thank you all for the help. I know it takes time to think and type out all this stuff and I appreciate it. And it's really helping a lot.

I had the E-brake on, no wonder I couldn't budge the cable. I just didn't know how it worked, or that the cable was part of the e-brake system. I use the E-brake all the time, it has held the truck on a steep hill with a load in it. The tires were sliding down the hill, but the e-brake was...

I got the rear shocks on today, they made quite a difference. One was in bad shape, the other was completely collapsed. I put back in some kind of air shocks the parts store guy said were good. I'm worried about the flimsy plastic air lines, but it would be nice to be able to carry a load with...
