GA86yota · 08-12-2006, 07:53 PM

I deleted the old thread cause i wasnt getting anything done.

august 10th--- took my front drivers hub off (still IFS) to figure out why my wheel was wobbling when i went around a left turn (only did it on left turns)...bad bearings...lots of metal in the grease etc etc...and im doing this for my senior project (early

)..

So i got the balls up to start cutting my truck up...

plans: to get it driving again soon

Front :
79' toyota front axle $175
custom trusses bottom and top (2.5x2.5x.25'' square tubing) (going to cut top off and redo) $$free
5.29s open for now...E-locker about to go in

$IDK bought a deal F&R & Master kits $450
rears/ pro comp mixed pack $50
TG u-bolt flip kit $50
box moved 2'' forward $free
homebrew relocation brace (.25 thick steel plate, welded to frame and grade 8 bolts) $free

Tires / Wheels :

New AISIN slave cyl..$30

Pulling motor, redoing some wiring and maybe rebuild it..replace water pump, alternator, starter, and battery...a few gaskets..reseal oil pan

front / rear bumpers

all in all i def. should have purchased the SAS kit instead of putting it together myself, but shit happens

TatonkaII · 08-12-2006, 08:11 PM

pretty big difference in those gears..

hunter_pritchett · 08-12-2006, 08:18 PM

id start collecting everything i needed before i cut my truck up.

go rears up front with chevies, and definately match the diffs up.

good luck.

GA86yota · 08-12-2006, 08:39 PM

i have lots of steel..and lots of parts to do this with

im not planning any wheeling when its finished until i get the front geared...just wanna get it driving again soon

i've been thinking of rears up front but im gonna read more about it..i just dont want to have to move my steering box

TatonkaII · 08-12-2006, 08:43 PM

in that case, i feel youre pain. I havnt been on the trail in nearly 4 years due to collecting parts slowly. I rolled mine shortly after getting it so now its no-op on the highway... so, its a farm truck till i finish collecting parts. No sense in doing things twice, ya know

GA86yota · 08-12-2006, 08:54 PM

i still have to buy some parts...but in the end i think i should have probaly bought a kit but i want the experience...for some odd reason..maybe because after high school im moving to riverside, ca to go to www.thefabschool.com

GA86yota · 08-13-2006, 06:56 PM

tear down

your basic IFS pile

Now i gotta start cutting and grinding and rebuild the motor and get it in soon...

Engine : before

During :

and after

and i got some funny videos of this stuff but i gotta figure out how to do it first

tanman2003 · 08-13-2006, 07:00 PM

you know the engine is a lot lighter if you take the intake heads and accessories off, you probably could get the block out with two guys by hand, your rebuilding it anyway, might as well make it easy on yourself.

GA86yota · 08-13-2006, 07:08 PM

yea i know but i wanted to take it out as a whole engine and do all the work on it at once, but now i have an engine hoist to put it back it shoulda got it sooner...wanna come sling some wrenches with me ?? ill help ya some on your runner..

side shot

new bed supports since i dont have a tailgate

stuff happens when your dumb friend sits on the windshield

PhantomEB · 08-13-2006, 07:50 PM

Thats cold, but funny

hunter_pritchett · 08-13-2006, 09:15 PM

...you kinda missed removing a couple things there.

and it looks like your railroad tie is gonna split-stick you big buddy under there instead.

SeaBass44 · 08-13-2006, 10:39 PM

funny shit

lol actually the skinny dude fell on it and he cut his back up so thats what he gets for landing there

GA86yota · 08-14-2006, 06:48 PM

as of now im trying to find some highsteer arms or a complete kit kinda cheap...looking for springs...then place an order for brake lines, hanger, backing plate eliminators, and some other little things...do what i gotta do to the motor and put front axle back together...

GA86yota · 08-15-2006, 06:24 PM

now im thinking about running rears up front but im concerned about having to move my ps box, is it required to move the box ?? i looked in the rears up front FAQ nothing there about having to move it forward

GA86yota · 08-15-2006, 06:56 PM

figued it out....drill a new hole in each spring perch 1.25 forward of the original...then i aint gotta move the box...

304CJ7 · 08-15-2006, 07:20 PM

Where do you go to school at? Just wondering. I live in Gainesville and graduated from North Hall. You have prob seen my white '92 SAS'd on 37's around. Good luck with your build. Let me know if you need any help.

comeonstart · 08-18-2006, 05:49 PM

Cool project, I built my nissan for my senior project. I would adivse you to buy all of your parts now, nothing sucks more than missing dead lines with school because of a back-order. Plus, you will not get as carried away with it. I had a budget of $4,500 for my nissan and I ended up trying alot of new things and spending $14k before I knew it.

GA86yota · 08-18-2006, 06:57 PM

actually im a junior now so im just getting it done now and taking lots of pictures and then i just have to write a 5 page paper on this stuff

so ill have less to do when next year comes around

GA86yota · 08-19-2006, 11:54 AM

got springs today..just gotta figure out where to move my hangers..52 1/2'' f 150 springs : http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=501537 : thread on spring hanger placement....also got shackles and some u-bolts and plates

But i sure as hell wish i had a torch or plasma right now...its a major PITA to cut all that with a grinder and cut off wheel

GA86yota · 08-22-2006, 03:06 PM

PROBLEM ::: measured my rear springs today...they're like 44 1/2'' eye to eye WTF arent they supposed to be 48'' e 2 e ?? either im wrong or my springs arent right ??

tanman2003 · 08-22-2006, 04:35 PM

are you just measuring from eye to eye? or are you measuring eye to eye along the spring? you can get a piece of string and run it along to get an accurate length, then measure the length of the string

GA86yota · 08-22-2006, 05:18 PM

measuring eye to eye across the spring and they measured 44 1/2''

GA86yota · 08-22-2006, 05:41 PM

BTW i even measured from the hanger to the shackle in the rear (with a spring still mounted and it was like 45''
