ya if you look at the pic of the steering box you can see the top mount on the frame ripped off due to non penetrating welds, which then caused the ears to break off the box. thats my theory at least.

i have a new marlin steering box mount and im gettin a power steering box here in the next week or so, then ill actually be able to steer this thing once i get the rest of the ps parts

Yea I have not been there in about 2 or 3 years and that's when I had a full size blazer and open diffs. Toyota's are so great I wish it was my first rig I had, Then I could have only but money into it instead of wasting money on the other rigs.
I will take lots of pictures forsure!

TIMS89CRAWLER · « **Reply #317 on:** Nov 08, 2008, 10:42:39 AM »

yep toyota's are the only way to roll for sure! a fullsize k5 blazer is the first 4x4 I had too... I lifted it and put it on d60's then traded it off for a stock 1st gen toyota and still dont regret it!

SR5Yota · « **Reply #318 on:** Nov 08, 2008, 11:14:19 AM »

The only thing I miss about it was its four speed was so low in first gear. That and the whole top came off. Power and the way it sounded was cool too. gas eater though, I don't miss that. I will have to find some pictures of it and post them

TIMS89CRAWLER · « **Reply #319 on:** Nov 08, 2008, 11:24:33 AM »

ya I loved the granny low! and how the top came off thats about it!

got bored today so i dovetailed my bed $Beer Chug\'n$ been wanting to do this for a while now

took out 8 1/2 in. out on each side. total of 17in. narrower in the rear

so much better

pile of metal that got cut out of there

i think it came out pretty good. everything still needs welded, probably do all that tomorrow.
