I paid $2000 for this truck about 5 months ago with the intent to bulid a daily driven rock crawler. im on a very tight budget so progression is slow, but moving none the less... heres some pics from almost stock until now

shackles in the rear and 33in TSLs

then it got 3in allpros in front and 4in superlifts in the rear (superlifts suck) Oh and i built that snorkle too, its hardplumbed with 2in

then i built this cuz it would slip out if id drive up curbs too fast

then i got some new rims and tread, thats Vitor (pitbull /lab) btw

then i started gettin tired of janky ass trail repairs on my stock steering setup

my draglink was pissed

chop chop

chop

then i got longer font shackles to balance out the lift

then i decided the truck was just too long

toyboat · Jan 13, 2006

Sweet ass rig. I like it. Just make sure you put on the front bumpstops to not S your springs. Hope you can get some sliders next

93yota · Jan 13, 2006

that is what i was thinking that you must have bought em form someone else.
and is it a 4" super stiff spring or just a block case that all I see?

they are pretty damn stiff and i even removed a leaf. the main problem is that the shackles in the rear are fuckin lame, they are home made by the creak head who sold me the truck. they are so tight no the bushings that they dont even budge to let the rear end flex. ill be making some new shackles when soon, i plan to start runnin chevys in the rear as soon as funds allow

Oh and I see your in Sac too. Make it theif proof. Do a search but I know people have problems in that area with their toy rigs getten stolen. The PO of mine had it stolen from him. Just would not want to see all that hard work go down the drain. Also save receips for everything you buy for your truck in a folder incase of an acident or it does get stolen.

Are you doing all the work at Sierra College or somewhere else? You truck is turning out good.

FarRunner · Jan 13, 2006

toyboat · Jan 13, 2006

FarRunner · Jan 13, 2006

And those aren't the stock tie rod and drag link, correct?

Where'd you order the parts?

X2 - That looks scary... one good hit on a rock and those ubolts will no longer be attacted to the axle perch

I was just curious where he got his particular parts, and maybe what he thought of them, not asking where I could get them.

Pook · Jan 13, 2006

X3 THATS SCARY asking for trouble

use a round one around the tube closest to the knuckle and a square one on the pumpkin side.

Pook · Jan 13, 2006

Nice budget build so far though :beer:

I would also be skeptical pulling on that d ring, especially since you ground off alot of the weld. should of put it through the tube. This is how I did it. you can then weld both sides. Alot less chance of ripping off.
