TWISTEDTOYS 92 SAS-->***7MGTE/R151F SWAP and FJZ80's in the works***

[THK Matt]

yeah man for sure.

[eMOJO]

the patience will pay off though, the Twisted Toy has came along way in the past month!

Hell yeah, this is the best build going ATM... always look forward to your updates 

Bummer about the pups... I love blue heelers, I've had a couple over the years and my uncle worked them on his cattle property, not really a city dog unless you've got plenty of time for them.

[twistedtoy92]

well ....... FINALLY FINISHED!!

i was at the shop till 12:30 but hey, got er dun!!! LOL!

this thing is badass.... i am so shocked that it is actually done that i had to drive it around for 30 minutes before i realized what i was really driving!!! handles great on the freeway! did the power brake test in mid range first gear.... both tires burned with NO axle wrap or hop!!! crazy!! i wont be doing that again though because it was only a test.... i have to drill my damn front flange out for my driveline and then im going wheeling this weekend! it flexed a solid 36 inches..... not bad for leaf springs and arent broken in yet!!   well here are a few pics! like a dream.....

[THK Matt]

Congrats Bro.

looks great   

[eMOJO]

Haha great news now it's time for

[twistedtoy92]

oh man this things handles great!!!
I finished it up tonight! Installed quick release mudflaps, swapped TC flanges and installed front driveline and greased them up!  I ramped it on our big truck ramp and the damn thing flexes like a champ!!!! I am soooo stoked to go wheeling after work tomorrow!!! I will have to post up pics!!!

Started January 17th....... Finished on February 13th........

[THK Matt]

1 month isn't bad.

you see my thread?

I'm getting a 92 Ex Cab V6 SR5 today!

[twistedtoy92]

well .... I had a BLAST breaking my truck in..... and i literally BROKE my truck in.... input shaft on the rear T case!  top of a climb and two hops then POP!!!!!  Tranny shifts and reduction box turns but the rear case has no movement!!! input shaft right?? floppin AA single bearing adapter!!! when i get my taxes back i am getting a MC R10 and 23 total spline input!!!  i knew that would be a weak point..... i am pissed! now i have to have a buddy pick me up tomorrow with two of my spare cases/inputs (spare parts are good) call my boss to make sure i can use the ford and flat bed trailer, go pick it up from my buddies (which we towed it to tonight) and load it up, haul it to my shop, tear out the cases, set them back up and drop them back in! so i will be able to drive it but i am still getting the marlin stuff! Im eliminating the weak points right off the bat!! next is LONGS....... but on a good note i had so much fun wheeling!!!! it flexes like a CHAMP!!!!! my buddy took a pick of me flexin it out in the dark, hopefully he sends me the pic soon so i can post it up....... stay tuned folks.....


Twisted toy down temperarily....

[82 HiLux]

ok ya learned your lesson, ONLY BUY MARLIN STUFF!

[twistedtoy92]

i know i was not happy running that adapter in the first place...... i knew id break it!  but when i picked up the adapter, top shift case and skid plate/crossmember for $200 i couldnt complain!!! but now its on like donkey kong!!! MARLIN CRAWLER HERE I COME!

At least i enjoyed breaking it!!!

[twistedtoy92]

You guys never did get me my bumpstop though.... sent me three of the same and one WAY different! John said they'd send me one to match but never did..... still waiting on the spacers and such too.....


So i was thinking should i just go ahead and get the 4.7's in the rear case while i'm at it??? what do you guys think?

[twistedtoy92]

im not sure exactly what to do.....

[NorCalToy]

dang dude....at lest you got to "wheel" it... bumme bout the broken parts though.

if you got the cash go fullout for marlin gear.

[TheCookieMonster]

those stock input shafts are quite weak...definetly get the total splines from Marlin  . and for the t-case gears it kind of your preference, do you want to go really really slow or just slow

[twistedtoy92]

well.... 2.28's work great but ive wanted to know what a 4.7 feels like........ im fixin it today!
its at the shop now and im grabbin another case and tranny for good measure

[twistedtoy92]

i'll make it work untill i can order marlins stuff.....


ok crew, i want YOUR INPUT!!

what should i do?? should i do 4.7's and 23 total spline/r10 adapter or just the 23/r10??

[82 HiLux]

i would put 4.7s in the rear case if i were you, because after you get used to the two 2.28 cases you will want lower. and if you have a stock case in front and the 4.7 in the back, you can still use stock low range if you want to, or you can go really really slow.

[95SAS]

I also vote for 4.7s in the rear case, I love mine!

[eMOJO]

Another vote for 4.7's

I've never had them but it would look good in your sig 

[twistedtoy92]

well 4.7's it is!!! i wanna go SLOW! I thought about it while i was putting the cases back together and i need the BEEF and LOW....... Truck is back up and running!! ill post a few pics.... turned out to be EXACTLY what and where I thought it was.... second case input shaft....

[twistedtoy92]

[THK Matt]

[twistedtoy92]

its badass isnt it....... i love this thing!!!!  good thing i know how to work on toys and i have way too many spare parts!

[Dr.Maxwe001]

NICE!!!


my front drivline needs the 12 inch slip yoke, when I put her up on the lift it seperated the DL...... but when I was wheeling i had no problem under full flex!


SO........ Here is the list of things I am going to get before july, I want to have this thing built stout for the summer!

-Marlins 23 Total spline Input for rear case
-Marlins 4.7's for rear case
-12 inch slip yoke for front driveline
-Yukon 5.29's front and rear
-Detriot out back
-Aussie up front
-30 spline Longs and chromo hub gears
-build front and rear bumpers
-find a set of 38-40's


i KNOW its a hefty list but i believe it is feasable by July!

[sloyota]

nice truck...hope to you out at cow mtn. some time,maybe even the rubicon

[82 HiLux]

lookin good! its funny how with toyotas you make a list of stuff you want to do to your truck, spend a crapload of money and do it all, and then make another list! i have the same problem lol. there will always be a list, these trucks are never finished

[THK Matt]

I'd just Aussie F/R simple as hell to setup.

[rednk1980]

IMO i wouldn't get the 4.7's i had them and it was too low. But Thats just the type of wheeling i do lot more trails that rocks so i didn't really need it.
