[Thomas P]

I have been here for a while and never did a buildup thread, so I decided to post pics of what I have done since I bought it bone stock 3 years ago. First heres some wheeling pics.

Killer rig! 

I told myself that when my 42" TSL's go, I would switch to the IROKs... How do you like them with the 5.29 gearing and 22re?

Sometimes I wish I had a lower gear, but its not too bad. I can run up to the hills pulling 3rd gear 95% of the time. As far as offroad they are perfect

Thats cool, thanks for the info. I have been planning on some 5.71's for for a while now. I have to get my tires to stop hitting the leaf spings at full tilt on the steering wheel first though. Do you mind sharing what front spring you are using? Also, what size and back spacing your rims are?

[kiyul4130]

i dont want to step up to a bigger tire until i go full widths. i remember when you helped me out up in the snow and i noticed you had 42s. i thought they were the 39.5s at first. you make me want to run those since your still on toy axles. i wouldnt be worried about breakage in the snow, just the rocks with toy axles. you had to do a ton of fender cutting didnt you?

[Yoat Goat]

Whats your breakage rate? Every trip, every other and what did you break?

[toywthbdydmge]

  nice rig 

[Joey88RUNR]

Looks good man nice rig!

[Tice]

Good lookin rig man. Makes me wish I would of left mine full bodied!! Sometimes.

[Thomas P]

lol, I havent broke anything yet.. knock on wood, but i blow about 4 beads at 4lbs of air every trip, I plan on going back to 39.5's for rocks

[Thomas P]

Actually I didnt have to cut much fender, and I rarely rub

Im using my stock toyota rear leafs up front, mixed with some lifted wagoneer springs (rancho 44044's) and my rims are the most offset you can get from les schwab I think 2 1/2?

[Thomas P]

yeah ive got the whole longfield 30 spline kit, they are awesome

[toy4x4ota]

those are big tires

[bigarms23]

nice truck like the 42s and minimal fender trimming

[Thomas P]

Thanks guys, im hoping to get some spare time to show some before pics, I bought it stock and then went to 33's then 35's then 39.5's now 42's so I have a few progress pics but no time to put 'em up

[kiyul4130]

hey what are you doing for BS rims and wheel spacers by chance?

[Thomas P]

Im running 1 1/2 inch wheel spacers up front and the wider ifs rear axle, the wheels are I think 2 1/2 inch backspace

[REG535]

Where did you get this = (Jim Putney custom camshaft) ?  I never heard of those camshafts....
YEs, it would be sweet to see the before pics, i always like to look at those. Right now i have the same toyota as you but its a deluxe and auto and have 31's 

[Thomas P]

Jim Putney is a guy that builds high performance motors mainly Toyota motors in Chico, I told him I wanted the most aggressive cam I could put in it, and still squeak by the smog techs, which I did just 2 weeks ago, he had the cam ground by a local machine shop, I forgot the grind, I need to ask him and post it, your not the only one to ask about it

[Thomas P]

My truck growing up, from 33"s to 35"s High steer install also, home made IFS box mounting and frame brace



Wheelin the 35"s


Time for the big time oh yes, the brand new 39.5s going to the shop to get em mounted up!

[Thomas P]

Anyone notice the nevada license plate? 420 GJM We called it the Gan-Ja-Mobile not a custome plate, and no im not a reefer smoker

[kiyul4130]

Im running 1 1/2 inch wheel spacers up front and the wider ifs rear axle, the wheels are I think 2 1/2 inch backspace

thats what i got. i guess what it must be is the body being narrower, thats why it looks wider, and also the tires bigger...

[Thomas P]

Heres some after the 39.5"s



Crawling the waterfall at Morris


Just crawled the top left side of the waterfall  at morris AKA the ledge

[95SAS]

dude, that is a realy sick truck... good job. any plans of a bed bob?

[Thomas P]

Nah, I like having a full size bed for camping and stuff, I just got a toolbox for the back and it will leave just enough room for a spare 42"

[Thomas P]
