Got a 1990 rocky. Just getting started and was thinking of doing a solid axle swap has any one tryied and completed? I figured since toyota played a part it sould be a little easier than most? any info would be great.

No, but I always thought those things were sweet. Do it. I doubt anyone has ever built a Rocky

[ronezrocky [OP]]

that was my take on it. do an off the wall rig and hope for the best. So far 2" body and 31's just wanna get away from IFS

Get a pair of axles from 79 - 85 and swap those in, make your own leaf springs from junkyard springs.

There used to be a rocky build on here, years ago.  Not sure if its around anymore, but it was pretty cool.  I think the owner was working on a 3rz swap or something.

I think he went by toyhaitsu or something, and I seem to remember he finished it and was driving it around.

I have a complete set of axles from a 83 Toyota, if ya need them.  I was looking for a Rocky or Tracker to use the axles under, before I found my truck.

Here is his profile.  I thought he had a build, but in the few minutes I had to poke around, didn't see it.

Funny this thread pops up, my friend actually has a rocky with a swapped in (actually there the same engine) turbo eclipse engine, and we are right now cutting the front end off to throw a 84 axle underneith..... I will get pics as soon as i go there (maybe this wkend)   its a fast lil bugger too....

Thanks gmack192 i will get back to you on those axles and yes just saying daihatsu makes you smile it is very funny

I think there was one on MCR this year, and if I'm thinking of the right one, it was really done well. It was white with a light grey exo, 33-35"'s. Didn't get a chance to chat with the guy, but looked like he'd put alot of time and craftsmanship into it.

haha there was a rocky in an oooolllllllddddd top truck challenge with ifs and irs off a hummer it was pretty gnarly actualyl haha. But I think itd be bad build for sure.

[chicorider]

that's cool with the rocky. definately outside of the box. i once built an amigo with 3 inch body lift, rear shackle lift and cranked the heck out of the torsion bars. it fit 33s easy and looked really good. that thing was fun. good luck.
