pataco13's 87 buildup

[yotadork83]

hey pataco in your first picture of this page there is a little devil sticker in the background. just wondering if you ride or you just liked the sticker.

[Stinky]

dude, hes from lock haven, thats the best trails scene in this half of the nation, annddd he rolls in a yota....

[yotadork83]

not fair i have wanted to ride there forever. glad to see a fellow rider driving a yota.

[PA_taco_13]

are you gonna do a manual swap, 22re swap into the 2nd gen?

i'm lookin for an IFS to SAS  right now all i'm concerned with is a decent frame and we're gonna go from there pretty much.  I bought this truck for the transfer case, the brand new aisin hubs, a decent bed, the rear, and i have my fingers crossed that the motor is still good.  it took a pretty good hit to the front.  so no, my 87 already has a manual in it....but if the motor is good in this one then i might look into putting it in my 87 once the 22r pukes.

wow  ewww ahhhh    can i have it

yep!  900 bux   

not fair i have wanted to ride there forever. glad to see a fellow rider driving a yota.

yeah i've been known to throw a couple one footed tables flat enough that you could eat dinner off of.    if you guys ever get to Lock Haven i'll be glad to show ya the Beury Patch

Brian just got off the phone with Kyle at Marlin....he ordered this rear lift kit:

  So this should solve the axle wrap whatever that was going on and now maybe we can really git 'er dun!

Anybody out there running a single transfer case with all pro's transfer case mounted disc parking brake and the turtle tuff cross member or allpro's, budbuilt,or a homemade crosmember anything, anyone?

So this should solve the axle wrap whatever that was going on and now maybe we can really git 'er dun!  

Is that what he told you? ahhhhh, yeaaaa, honey, ummmm we got some real bad "axle wrap" yea, that's it! So I'm gonna have to order all new suspension parts from Marlin.

[PA_taco_13]

Finally got the rock sliders put on, along with the Marlin rear lift to help with my "axle wrap" issue. 









proof that the rear of my truck is cooler than the front of my truck.

Dude! Air down your boggers to about 20lbs before they are worthless!

Nice job on the sliders BTW.

[DTB]

looking badd ass brian!   is that a cherry bomb?   no more "axle wrap"

[PA_taco_13]

Dude! Air down your boggers to about 20lbs before they are worthless!

thanks for the info on the boggers....i got em used and the front two are pretty perfect but the back two are all wore funny.  that's why i put em on the back.  i'll get them aired down to 20 and see if that straightens em out. 

looking badd ass brian!   is that a cherry bomb?   no more "axle wrap"

hell yeah it's a cherry bomb!  sticker proof on page one.  haha. 

[MiniSimp]

Yeah, their max pressure is 35psi, but if you run them at 35 they will wear the center fast.
I used to run mine at about 18-20.
If you really want them to last, only put them on for the trail, otherwise you will get about 20,000 street miles out of them.

are we there yet

[PA_taco_13]

Well.....back to the old drawing board.  Tried to sell this truck and no one wants it.    Didn't really want to part with it anyway, and have to start over with the first gens.

Sooooo now I'm going to try to sell the 2 first generation Toys I have to keep on building this truck and hopefully I will get enough dough to get the 4 inch SAS kit from Marlin. (watch out DTB i'm gonna be catching up soon haha).  I will probably only manage to get enough moola to get the kit and a couple other small things I need to get it installed, but I do already have an 85 front axle and a set of 5.29's so it should be pretty easy to do.

Anyway here's some update pics.  Put the Marlin rear shackles on, because the stock ones didn't cut it, and changed to 36" TSL SX tires.  And if you're on the east coast and lookin for a first gen, let me know. 

[Big Pap Dog]

Hey man, I NEED a decent first gen short box!  Would you be willing to part with a bed?  You live near Lock Haven, right?  Pm me on a price.

[DTB]
