well building the IFS is outta the question now. i think this time was the last time with 35s and IFS. its needed ball joints, idler arm and wheel bearings for awhile, so now teh front end is SHOT. its super sloppy and my steerin wheel and front tires shake bad. so SAS is comin after i get some cash built up. stay tuned

 

now thats a truck!
take a BFH to the door jam. happened to a buddy.
just gotta be ruff with it.
or just make tube doors with like soft covers? kinda like J*** soft doors?

 

yes i plan on gettin tube doors but SAS is first. its my only vehicle as of now. i dont understand how i could fix it with a hammer, it smashed it in toward the seat, then pulled it back toward the bed?

 

this dont look to bad from teh pic, but this was a tricky spot because on teh other back tire, it was wedged between 2 rocks. but i made it out after i revved it til the valves floated, then popped the clutch and steered. i love these x terrains. they are NASTY at 15psi

 

update- decided to continue school and get a AS. Degree, so the SAS is being put off again. snapped a pass side CV the other day. friday im gonna order some cheaper ball joints from rockauto.com to last thru this fall and winter of wheelin. want in to go to Harlin? KY this fall for the fall crawl, so im gna replace to BJs,, and weld the rear end. i post pics of the install

 

finally a update: ordered me a TG spring hanger kit the other day from RPM Offroad. gotta pick it up this week sometime. Buddy has a axle he said I could have, but im just gonna buy one, cuz his is a FJ somethin front axle. i think it has a 9in diff. and I dont know what gears are in it. decided not to buy th ehigh dollar kit, gonna get it piece by piece. probably run some sort of trailer park white trash front spring pack, with a matching rear spring pack. gonna weld the rear, lock the front, hydro assist, bed bob, dual case, 4.7 in rear case. in no particular order. i will eventually run 39.5s IROCs with minimal lift and lots of trimming and cutting and tubbing. i want my truck to set about one inch higher than it is now, but im also removing bodylift.


sold my DD 92 toyota back in november, its on its way to guatemala. Bought me a 03 chevy 2500HD 6.0L 5spd 4wd the first of this month. I love it. the yota is rockin farm use tags. Gonna start saving for a trailer whenever i can. would like to get a 21ft flat deck Kaufman. we will see!


Also got married october 1st last year, dont think i have mentioned it over here, ive been on local forums here lately

me and a buddy stripped 2 83 toyotas yesterday, buddy got 2 sets of axles, gonna buy one of the fronts off of him, we got all the springs for my white trash spring packs. Got a top shift tcase for my dual setup, a set of factory buckets and a center console, fro freeee dollaaaasss. still need to get some shock hoops, and hy-steer arms, and dual case adapter. We plan to bob the bed sometime soon, and build a front winch bumper. tryin to find someone to trade me some 36s or 37s for my 35s. stay tuned

 

Back again on yotatech after not getting on here for like 7 months. Been super busy, me and my wife bought a house, I sold that blue chevy posted above, got a 07 RCLB chevy 2500HD, the Lord blessed me with a great jump on my career at work with a promotion, oh, and the toyota? Lol, its parked unde the porch on a set of 37s, waiting on the SAS, still...

 

ordered TG hysteer, brake lines, axle rebuild kit, shock hoops and wheel spacers the other day, stay tuned

 

Subscribed! That high lift mount is really cool! Also, what's the backspacing on those Soft 8's?

 

Yea I took the high lift mount off a few years ago, I think I still got it around here somewhere. they were 15x8s 3.75" BS.

Got my goodies a whiel ago. Still waitin to get rotors, calipers, and brake pads. Gonna try to bob the bed when we do the swap, may not happen though. Then if I can talk the wife into it, Ill get me a dual case adapter.

 

You got a sweet thread going on here..

I wish I could take my truck off road like that. I'm too scared to dent anything!

Congratulations on the marriage and degree! They mean a little more than SAS

Keep us updated, man!

 

Great thread. That sucks about the dude running you off the road like that. Glad the truck came out ok. Cant wait to see the SAS done on your rig. I love the look of a reg cab SAS'd 3rd gen

Keep up the good work.

 

Yea when I first got mine, I never imagined it would be beat like it is now. Once you dent it the first time, the rest aint so bad haha. If I beat a lot worse, Ill find me another cab and bed, or a flat bed. Ill post pics when we start on the axle. still gotta get rotors, calipers, brake pads and rear springs and shocks. Thanks for the interest.

Yea Poor ole feller probably didnt know I was in the world, let alone coming towrd him down the road!! Yep Im excited about finally getiing it done after wanting to for 3 or 4 years.

 

heres a pic of the 37x13.50x16.5 militaries I swapped a guy my 35s for.









And a pic of the DD, 07 CHevy 2500HD 6.0L 4WD

 

and a pic of my little 92 that I sold. Of any vehicle I have ever owned, I miss this one the most. 92 4wd, 22re AUTOMATIC!!! with 92k original miles. I bought it for cheap, didnt realize the frame rust was as bad a s it was, so I sold it for 40 bucks more than I paid for it. Me and my wife got in a bad spot beofre I graduated college, and I had to sell it to get some cash. I loved that little truck, and it was stupid rare with the 22re/auto and regular cab.

 

Got me a trailer the other day at a SMOKIN price. Gonna cut the tongue off, extend the front 4 ft to make it a 20', and so the axles wont be centered underneath the trailer, then re deck it, re wire and add more lights, paint it, and put some drop axles on it. I bought some steel from work to build a trailer but for what I got this one for, I couldnt pass it up.

 

and a little motivation to get me to start hackin that IFS off...
