okay rebuilt front and rear leaf packs.
Longfields came today!!!

all i have left is to finish up the front axel rebuild and put in my longfields and i can drive it again.

then i gotta get my new wheels on. diff armors. axle truss. and harnesses in and then i'm out of work. until i buy more stuff

[rcbro]

the gusset looka cool but think of the pain its going to be to get mud and gunk out of it lol

[toyotanner]

why get it out lol

[toyotanner]

  finished my truck sunday so now i'm driving around breakin in the gears

[THK Matt]

:WOOHOO:

[TheCookieMonster]

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

[toyotanner]

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]

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

[toyotanner]

shoot i paid 40 bucks for my flex haha. do you have skyjacker springs or something?

[THK Matt]

shoot i paid 40 bucks for my flex haha. do you have skyjacker springs or something?

[TheCookieMonster]

i dont know what they are....stiff crap ...im gonna put rears up front and chevys in the rear

[toyotanner]

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]

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

[toyotanner]

sweet!

well i think i'm gonna finish up a couple things and possibly go to browns camp next weekend or the weekend after depending on $$

[toyotanner]

put some new bling headlights in the truck. debating on whether i want to put my new wheels on or wait to buy the diy beadlocks and do those and then install them.

[toyotanner]

me doing the axles

[THK Matt]

[toyotanner]

actually i just realized i was doing my spring packs in that pick lol whoops! but i did it all at once

[toyotanner]

oh course

[toyotanner]

not much really has been happening with the rig i've just been driving and wheeling it like a champ. i did blow the top lower radiator hose and $5 and 10 minutes later FIXED!!!!

[Steve97TJ]

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

[toyotanner]

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]

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

[TheCookieMonster]

sweet ...ya there is no room in the first gens

[toyotanner]
