nice looking rig 

[boggerunner]

nice custom sheet metal work.  are u gonna tub the cab or move the front axle forward more?

[caliyota420 [OP]]

Front still clears the firewall its already 3.5" foward from stock enough where the steering box is coming thru the radiator support and re sheetmetaled in so that the tie rod and drag link dont ever come in contact with eachother I'll post a pic of that soon, If I do hit at full stuff full turn I am going to cut into the firewall instead of moving the axle some more, but I put a tire on my retaining wall at home at full turn and still had plenty of room and it only had another inch or two of upflex...The rear needs most of the cutting Im going to cut it to match the front (height measured from body line) and instead of inboarding my rear springs Im going to narrow the frame rails in the back so it will move the springs were I want them and I dont have to worry about the tires rubbing the frame. Even with 2.5" backspace rims I think Im still gonna rub the frame with those 38.5/16/15's

Yeah the driver side took a good hit...lol I drove out of it though good times, believe it or not there wasnt so much as a scratch on this truck when I got it, she was a 150k never used 4x4 one owner old man stocker with a blown motor I got for stupid cheap. My buddies made fun of me asking if I was building a truck for the autorama show... showed them though not even 2 days after completion I put her on the passanger side.... screw it I didnt build it to look at it

ARP Studs for the Knuckles and Hubs, 30 Spline Longs, 5.29's Welded Rear Lock-Right Front, and Marlins Inner Seals and I can now drive the thing!!!!!!!!!! All kinds of work, damn bigger tires

sweet

[Slolyfe]

I need those tires!!!!!!

[rockcrawlinredneck]

Just for the record, they never hit my frame in the back when they were on my rig. I have chevys bump stopped at flat. My front axle is pushed forward 4.5" or 5" (I cant remember) and the cab is tubbed all the way back to the body mount. I hit the cab at "super hard stuffed" with the wheel turned and even cought the hydro line coming off the steering box when the front was stuffed and turned right in little sluice!

[rockcrawlinredneck]

This is when the tire grabbed the hydro line.

[caliyota420 [OP]]

Did you run your hydro line off the side or on the D of TOYODA in the front of the box? Im gonna drill my box soon so I was wondering... I think they may rub the firewall just barely but I havent even cut or folded over the seem yet so I have 3/4 inch to get outta that before cutting into the firewall, like I said when I put it on the retaining wall (which is nothing maybe 2 1/2 feet) it still turned lock to lock with no rubbage and only an inch or so to go up, Im more concerned with building a new bumper for the front and making it not hit and still keeping my markers and have side protection for them....Im thinking this is gonna be impossible I may just put a side marker scewed to the fender (similar to first gen truck) and do away with the front markers and straight cut the fenders!!!!!!! That'll give me the room I need for the front. The rear I decided to not narrow the frame for now Im gonna buggy leaf it with a traction bar until I get some money together for coil-overs. When I flexed out the rear it didnt hit the frame it was close but didnt hit and Im not running bumpstops yet thats one of the items on the to do list.... with bumpstops I think now matter how far the other tire drops I should be good

By the way I dig the soft camper Ive always wanted one did you make it?

[rockcrawlinredneck]

I tapped mine off of the side, I did not have room on the front. As far as the camper, yea I made it.
