85 Red X, My son is now cancer free!!! Back to wheelin!
« on: Apr 13, 2008, 10:39:40 PM »
I have been here for a while and never did a buildup thread, so I decided to post pics of what I have done since I bought it bone stock 3 years ago. First heres some wheeling pics.

Killer rig!  :bowdown:

I told myself that when my 42" TSL's go, I would switch to the IROKs... How do you like them with the 5.29 gearing and 22re?

Sometimes I wish I had a lower gear, but its not too bad. I can run up to the hills pulling 3rd gear 95% of the time. As far as offroad they are perfect

Thats cool, thanks for the info. I have been planning on some 5.71's for for a while now. I have to get my tires to stop hitting the leaf spings at full tilt on the steering wheel first though. Do you mind sharing what front spring you are using? Also, what size and back spacing your rims are?

i dont want to step up to a bigger tire until i go full widths. i remember when you helped me out up in the snow and i noticed you had 42s. i thought they were the 39.5s at first. you make me want to run those since your still on toy axles. i wouldnt be worried about breakage in the snow, just the rocks with toy axles. you had to do a ton of fender cutting didnt you?

Jim Putney is a guy that builds high performance motors mainly Toyota motors in Chico, I told him I wanted the most aggressive cam I could put in it, and still squeak by the smog techs, which I did just 2 weeks ago, he had the cam ground by a local machine shop, I forgot the grind, I need to ask him and post it, your not the only one to ask about it

thats what i got. i guess what it must be is the body being narrower, thats why it looks wider, and also the tires bigger...
