Download your photos to a third party site (webshots, cardomain etc). Once they are downloaded to the third party site, you link the photo here by right clicking on the image and copy the link info. When you are here, click the photo icon and paste your link info between the the captions. The image will typically be automatically resized to fit.

well me and my buddy did the front and rear suspension in one day. Haveing a goog friend to help is nice to have. The truck sits prity high all around. I did notice that the front is about an inch or two higher then the back. the only compaints so far is I dont like the way the bushings have so much slop in the frame tubes and also in the rear spring shackle frame tube. Any one else notice this or did I get sent the wrong bushings or thats just the way it is? I would like to post some pics that iv got but I havent got around to trying to downsize the file size.

Well I havent had to much time to work on the truck. (WORK SUCKS) But i did manage to get all the steering done today. Im hopeing tomorow I will get the brakes done. One problem that iv encountered is that I cant work on my truck in the garage because I wont fit its to high now. So now I have to deal with the rain and darkness. I will definately post some pics tomorrow.

92yota · « **Reply #11 on:** Jan 10, 2006, 07:23:09 PM »

Heres some more pics. Im hopeing the shackle angle will go back alittle when the springs settle

92yota · « **Reply #12 on:** Jan 10, 2006, 07:35:49 PM »

Iv still got to weld in the rear spring hangers and frame tubes. Also do the shocks, brakes, steering stablizer and tourqe all the U-bolts. Some other things i plan on doing are a home made front bumper to mount my winch and also a rear bumper, finish my on board air, get more power from my 22r, find some 37 MTR's, and coat the whole under carrage with some zophar, and if possible find a electric locking tacoma rear end.

gotrocks · « **Reply #13 on:** Jan 10, 2006, 09:51:19 PM »

did you more your steering box forward. On my 3rd gen it won't work unless i move it forward. The drag link is behind the tierod.

92yota · « **Reply #14 on:** Jan 11, 2006, 10:59:55 AM »

no I didnt move it forward,but i saw a post that said you wouldnt have to but after i installed everything its kinda looking like i might have to. Once i get it alitle more compleated ill try flexing it to see if iv gota move the sterring box.

did you use the kit from marlin or was it home made?

UNBREAKABLE · « **Reply #16 on:** Jan 11, 2006, 06:28:32 PM »

let's see the finished product

92yota · « **Reply #17 on:** Jan 12, 2006, 11:06:11 PM »

today I had a chance to fully weld in the rear spring hangers, do the shock hoops and weld in some brake line mounts.
Found out I definately need a new rear axle housing its slightly cracked and smashed in by the perch area. I would like to just find a whole rear end from a tacoma with a e locker and mount it up. Does anyone know how close the dimensions are to a 92 rear axle.

Your truck is coming along nicely, I can't wait to see it sitting on some tires. 37's should fit good under your fenders.

92yota · « **Reply #20 on:** Jan 13, 2006, 01:46:28 PM »

Thanks. Yeagh I cant decide if I should go with 35 or 37 tires.

1Bad4Runner · « **Reply #21 on:** Jan 13, 2006, 02:58:52 PM »

Bigger is usually better! I have been deciding on the same thing, but I figured I'd regret it if I got the 35's, so I just bought a set of 37" MT/R's, its only minor adjustments if they don't fit, a little fender trimming usually fixes the clearence problems

But I know its a hard decision so

hard on it!

92yota · « **Reply #22 on:** Jan 15, 2006, 12:26:59 AM »

Today I finished the brakes, Welded in the frame tubes, and mounted the steering stabilizer. I took the truck for a little test drive Just on the road it steers nicely and feels prity stable. Now I just need some bigger tires and Ill be set. I decided to go with the 37's. Cant wait to try it out.

1Bad4Runner · « **Reply #23 on:** Jan 15, 2006, 05:20:27 AM »

Yours getting it done fast, can't wait to see it finished on the tires. I think you did the right thing getting the 37's, They will look great on your truck

Well if you are running stock birf's I would say 35's.
It all depends if you are locked in the front.
I am running treated longs and 35's locked in the front haven't broke anything yet.
If you are running chromo longs hell then run 37's.

92yota · « **Reply #25 on:** Jan 15, 2006, 11:49:37 PM »

I found another rear axle today so I gusseted up the spring perches and put it under the truck, I just need to mount the rear shocks and ill be good to go.

1Bad4Runner · « **Reply #26 on:** Jan 16, 2006, 03:36:36 AM »

Looking good! Just need to get those 37's under there!

92yota · « **Reply #27 on:** Jan 16, 2006, 10:44:39 AM »

Im gona do the rear shocks today anyone Know the pros and cons of mounting them the factory way or the old style way like this / \.

1Bad4Runner · « **Reply #28 on:** Jan 16, 2006, 03:36:53 PM »

Do /\, It flexes much better that way... I think you lose a small amount of stability, but your in a pick-up and I have a 4Runner so you may not lose any.

92yota · « **Reply #29 on:** Jan 16, 2006, 08:53:48 PM »

I mounted the shocks today and painted the undercarrage so now all I have left for now is make the front driveshaft, I brought the extention that marlin sell so it shouldnt be that hard to get it set up right. I think i might end up going with 35's then later in the future posibly try 37's. I see alot of mud and slick clay and I hear the mtr's arnt that great in those situations. So im gona go with 35 12.50 BFG mud terrains I kinda want a tire that lasts for a while and wears good. How are the toyos in the mud and slick clay?
