ToyoTanners 1st gen pickemup truck

[toyotanner]

sorry about the crappy quality my g/f camera was set on some stupid setting i dont know how to change lol

[TheCookieMonster]

nice...so your pinion angle is pretty bad i take it ..are you going to be able to fix it with a shim??
sweet twin sticks i need to pick one of those up

[toyotanner]

yeah i bought the twinstick like 8 months ago haha just been waiting for duals .

i'm hoping to be able to fix it with a shim i saw some pretty big ones at a 4 wheel drive shop they were 15 degree shims.
if not i could always cut my perches and roll the axle back but i would rather shim it.

not sure if you'll be down in time, but i'm planning a run for browns camp on the 26th of this month. Ur welcome to join us. Planning a run for kanyon-crawlers.com group.

[toyotanner]

[toyotanner]

alright so when i got laid off from my previous job back in november my old boss who loves to do sheetmetal work said he would still like to finish my half doors so i gave him til july 4th (thinking i was taking my truck to browns camp) to get them done. and now here they are:

[toyotanner]

yeah the knob is the door popper. the knob is a piece of scrap from the ironworker punch.

[TheCookieMonster]

[toyotanner]

[TheCookieMonster]

[BigBs84]

did ya weld that beast solid in there 

good, good, good vibrations 

[toyotanner]

yup sure did i plan on making it bolt on once i get my 4.7's
but i talked to a guy who had it welded in and he said it took all motor play away. and it sure did doesnt move at all.

i dont feel any vibes...

I'd think the stock motor mounts and the back xfer mount... would multiply the motor play and vibe...
so i think solid mounts is way better!

[GrenadedToy]

siiiiiiiiiick you put the OG grill back on.

looks way better lol.

im jealous of your half doors

[toyotanner]

yeah i like this grille much better too 

so i have been working my butt off these last couple of days to go wheelin this weekend

i . . . . .

cut cross member to make room for driveline
pinion shims
extended front driveline
exhaust hanger
gusset steeringbox
mounted seats
got undercoating on bottom half of doors
.. and much more

now i'm gonna try and finally get my bed back on now that my wheelbase is moved back forward.

yeah actually its basically all together all i have left to do is finish my tcase xmember because i lowered my drivetrain so its not exactly a flatbelly anymore. i did that because the angles on the drivelines were no good.

I also got some 39.5 iroks YEAHH!!! traded my wheels and tires for them just had to buy rims.

[Yoat Goat]

Pics of them mounted man!

[toyotanner]

i'm gonna wait on pics til i get the bed on

sweet new tires  ....also found out where the grinding noises are coming from...its the t-case. the t-case needs to be level because the oil slinger is in the back of the case. so i need to lift my motor mounts to get it level again. this info came from BigMike. thought i would let you know.

[toyotanner]

nice yeah i was thinking that had to be it because my buddy just did the same exact thing i did and had the same problem so he dropped it down a little and it still makes it but not nearly as horrible. good to know

[toyotanner]

hopefully gonna have it together to go to browns this weekend

[toyotanner]

pics of the new tires and bed back on.
went up to browns camp this last weekend and hit some trails drove it there hit firebreak five, mini rubicon, and upper crushers was going to do lower crushers but it was starting to get dark and so i drove back home no real problems besides my truck getting a little hot..... some body damage too.

mini rubicon pics.... i will have some of crushers up later..

[THK Matt]
