Topic: Building a 89

[Tweeked89]

New to the board but i figured i share a fresh buildup im in the process of doing. started with a wrecked 89 Ex-cab toyota with the front end being damage (body panals) and doing a front SAS with toy rear springs/2.5" LC springs, marling hi-steer, 83 front end, 4:88 gears and 38's. for the rear im using 63" chevy springs and building a custom Anti-wrap bar to keep it solid. so far i have the IFS torn and cut out and finishing up on my spring hanger. i will have more pix up soon.

quick Q, i have a 3.0 V6 with a 5spd, ive been told i have 4:88 gears in the rear because i have a white tag on the pinion, is that correct

as for the gears, white generally indicates 4.88.    however, only auto trucks were supposed to get the 4.88s, and only with the 31" tires package.  might be a good idea to pull the 3rd and count the teeth.

i will have to do that Kyle. updated, put smaller shackles in and degree shims to even out the front diff, rear springs are setting in.
