....did the gears make a big difference?

toyotanner · « **Reply #127 on:** Mar 11, 2008, 03:04:36 PM »

actually yes they did i used to be able to keep a constant like 55 60 in fifth without it bogging down now i can do 70. but thats what my speedo says i'm probably actually going faster since my tires and all

and thats just constant speed i could always accelerate

TheCookieMonster · « **Reply #128 on:** Mar 11, 2008, 04:41:12 PM »

sweet man...ill eventually get gears but i need other things a lot more (some flex maybe)

toyotanner · « **Reply #129 on:** Mar 12, 2008, 04:23:36 PM »

i dont know what they are....stiff crap

...im gonna put rears up front and chevys in the rear

toyotanner · « **Reply #132 on:** Mar 13, 2008, 04:52:17 PM »

my friend had skyjacker springs they made it so his shackles were straight up and down and the springs had MAD arch.

it flexed 8 inches in the front and 13 in the rear it was garbage lol

i put my rears up front and s10 springs i bought for 20 bucks in the rear. and spent another 20 bucks on some leaves to add to my packs

TheCookieMonster · « **Reply #133 on:** Mar 13, 2008, 05:05:43 PM »

ya my shackle angle is not so good....i just need to hit up pick a part for some springs once i get more $$$

Steve97TJ · « **Reply #143 on:** Apr 05, 2008, 09:09:34 PM »

You ever put the new rims on it or you waiting for DIY beadlocks?

toyotanner · « **Reply #144 on:** Apr 07, 2008, 07:35:57 AM »

i'm kind of debating on it cause i like to drive it just as much as wheel it..... and everyone says its going to be a son of a gun to mount tires on so i dont know........ I WANT TO THOUGH! lol

toyotanner · « **Reply #145 on:** May 08, 2008, 06:21:06 PM »

okay i literally just got the internet in my new house about 20 minutes ago so i'm back on and giving you guys an update.
BEEN WHEELING THE PISS OUT OF IT. and everythings working out great so far.

I got my diff armor put on this last weekend WOOHOO

i found a long bed its blue but i'll just repaint the whole truck came with taillights and tailgate for 100 bucks pretty good condition too.

so i got to bob the front of the bed to match my wheelbase then bob the rear and then dovetail it... it should be fun!

i finally got the grille i wanted YEAHH!HH!H!!

i also got bored and got rid of the stock toyota aircleaner box thing and put a weber one on my toyota carb took some precision cutting but it turned out sweet.

got drunk one night and thought to myself i have everything to put a sub in my truck so i did that while intoxicated cleaned the wiring up a little the next day lol. and it is DAMN hard to fit a ten behind the seat of a standard cab 1st gen
