300sniper · 02-27-2004, 01:54 PM

this runner was bone stock in the begining of january '04. i did a sas with a 69" dana 44, 66" ford 9" in back both with 5.13s and arb's. it got a dana 300 with big outputs, 4 to 1, and twin sticks behind the toy t-case. i'm using all pro 5" springs on my own hangers. getting ready to buy axleshafts for it but not sure what brand yet. going to run 38 12.50 sxs.

close of front

300sniper · 02-27-2004, 01:56 PM

front quarter

300sniper · 02-27-2004, 01:58 PM

bad pic here but trying to find shock locations. didn't have enough room inside to get a tire off the ground before the top hit the wall

KC_JoNeS · 02-27-2004, 02:02 PM

You have been busy. I love it. Something weird though about that front bumper setup. The way the top bars mount at an upward angle to the stinger, plus the Toyota emblem upside down, makes the truck actually look like it is upside down already. Kinda cool. Cant wait to see some action shots...

Damn, he has been busy! Looks good. That front axle looks wiiiiide!

Booger Weldz · 02-27-2004, 02:18 PM

looks good, i like the tube/fender trim setup

300sniper · 02-27-2004, 02:19 PM

the front axle was originaly a 3/4 ton chevy 8 lug so it was 69" converted to 1/2 ton chevy brakes and ford hubbed rotors to end up with a 5 on 5-1/2 toyota? heres a shot of the "raw" front bumper

The Joker · 02-27-2004, 02:34 PM

i bent the tube by hand with the m-tech mod 3 bender. going to try and be creative with the back bumper this weekend. not sure how fancy i'll get and still have a functional tail gate and not loosing much ground clearence.

mobil1syn · 02-28-2004, 02:35 AM

looks awesome man, ill second booger with the front fender action. if you could you take some more shots of that area

stomper4x4 · 02-28-2004, 04:52 AM

Nice Tube work........And the look of full size width axles on a toy is just plain wicked....

generalee7 · 02-28-2004, 10:51 AM

That looks awesome, nice work! More pics of the front fenders too, please

richpblaze · 02-28-2004, 02:00 PM

You just made up my mind. I have been contmeplating this decision for a while now. I have even purchased the 44 but was still unsure. Your photos made up my mind that looks sic.

300sniper · 02-28-2004, 05:05 PM

thanks for the compliments. i'll see if i can push it out of the shop for some better light and get some better pics of the front fenders and a bit of the rear fender trimming. i'm kind of pulling my hair out now trying to figure out a way to fabricate a fuel cell using the stock filler location for smog reasons. has any one shortened the pickup tube for the fuel pump to use in a shorter fuel tank? what about the fuel level sensor, can that be bent to shorten it and keep it functual? thanks again.

85YotaMan · 02-29-2004, 01:24 PM

Sure can! I had to lengthen my fuel pickup and tweak with the fuel sensor. So I'm sure you can figure something out

-Here's a pic of my fuel cell I made...

yodazuk · 02-29-2004, 07:02 PM

nice rig and some nice work. the front bumper and fender tube is really sweat

Clay · 03-08-2004, 09:58 PM

Did you get any work done on the rear?

branden_j · 03-08-2004, 11:50 PM

what did you make the fuel cell out of? looks good

85YotaMan · 03-08-2004, 11:56 PM

16 guage steel w/ a baffle as you can see the tack welds. I just cut out the stock filler, pickup and fuel sensor and welded em in.
