2.5 ton Toyota (Sawed off) - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

repooc · 06-06-2011, 06:53 AM

I am finishing a project started by a buddy of mine. He needed money and I always wanted his truck so I picked it up. It will be a mud race/bog truck built to take a beating. "Game on" is not going to be the name. that is his name for his next project. I posted it in the Toyota section, here's the link to it:

1986 Toyota Cab
Ivan baja kit
2x3 tube frame with 2" sub frame
Wishbone four link with hiems
2.5 ton axles
468 bbc roller
turbo 400 with mated 241
10" travel Big Shocks Coil-overs
full caged

looks sharp, nice work and well planned out. it should move nicely since there is no body weight....lol. can't wait to some vids of it moving!!!!!

x2

i noticed the upper links are unique, has that been used before? would it be to help with "body" roll?

This thing is nasty looking!!!I love it

Let's see some action shots.

repooc · 06-18-2011, 09:31 PM

Got to get finished first

repooc · 07-06-2011, 05:36 AM

Mounting up the bed sides

repooc · 07-06-2011, 05:37 AM

Back is just about set. I lifted the rear coil-overs because they settled down to only 3" of travel with the extra weight.

Wired

Got my orbital mounted.

repooc · 07-06-2011, 05:38 AM

Got my ram mounted

masonmachines · 07-06-2011, 08:03 PM

The build looks great. The distance between the axle housing and the tie rod changes as the steering wheel moves from centre to the edge. Your ram to tie rod mount does not allow for this change in distance.

repooc · 07-06-2011, 09:04 PM

You might want to look again because it is free of any binding lock to lock using about 9" of the 10" cylinder.

repooc · 07-07-2011, 08:31 AM

Here are better pics showing lock to lock and a side view

daryl · 07-07-2011, 09:32 AM

Looking good old man

repooc · 07-07-2011, 10:34 AM

What up D-rail?

jhama78 · 07-07-2011, 11:01 AM

repooc · 07-11-2011, 05:50 AM

Decided I needed to shave some weight so I put it a lighter brake pedal.

repooc · 07-12-2011, 06:27 AM

Started remounting the fenders last night and figured I would change directions. I am going to build a baja style bumper and use it to support the fenders and grill.

repooc · 07-13-2011, 07:58 AM

Well I need some feedback. I bent a rock bar and wonder what you think. Too big?

nvrsatisfied · 07-13-2011, 08:09 AM

not understanding why you need one, but i would say too big.

honestly i would remove it all together.....but your project, everything else i love about the build....keep up the great work!

or perhaps build a brush guard type bumper....

pun young · 07-13-2011, 11:04 AM

i think its ugly

loweredf1 · 07-13-2011, 05:14 PM

might look better shorter..

vtyodaman · 07-13-2011, 05:15 PM

get rid of it looks like shit

repooc · 07-14-2011, 05:59 AM

Changed my mind.

repooc · 07-15-2011, 06:29 PM

Got the steering in.
