pretty new here
i've been reading through builds for awhile on here and deceided since im all yota i should throw this up
a little history on it
i traded it for my 1st gen yota a little over a year ago and when i got it, it needed a little tlc
it started out as a 81 yota frame
current setup
22r/5speed/duals with 23 spline 4.7 rear case
all the tubing is 1.75x.120 DOM
axles are fj80 4.10 welded diffs
front suspension is rears up front
rear is dual triangulated 4link with 2.0 air shocks
started out like this
first thing i did was pull the backseats as they were sitting high for kids.
messed with the suspension to get it to sit a little better the poor rear suspension made it act weird.
last july i deceided i was tired of the station wagon
took the wheelbase from about 113" to 110"
put on a better master cylinder so i could have some good brakes
new lowers are 2" solid 7075 t6 aluminum from branik
uppers are 1.5x.250" dom
heims are 3/4x5/8 chromo uppers and 7/8x3/4 lowers 5/8" bolts throughout
how it sits now
stickered the hood for the extra hp
so far after 3 wheeling trips everything has been going good
for some reason every now and then on steep climbs it will smoke REALLY bad
blew a headgasket last weekend gettin it a little too much
so how knows what about building a yota head. it runs on propane
