[83yota]

SO WE GOT IT!!!!!!!!!!!! 6 springs bottom one is an add-a-leaf. 4" pro-comp coils in the rear but I need to add the puck spacer to level it. need shocks and move the steering box forward BUT, it is on the road. rides ok but i NEED monger shocks. i will get pics up tomarrow.

Here are some of the pics I took just thought I would add them for you.

Here is a couple of pics of it done, well kinda done

[86bobbedtoy]

sweet! nice height

[Yota87Truck]

Looks good. What are the new specs on it?

[Zs Confederate Toy]

Lookin good man. Ride height looks nice

[83yota]

RUFs 4" Pro Comp coils in the rear, soon to be a 2" puck spacer. 33 KM2s, 5.29 ft and rr with spools. Not much changed except the lift. my next is moving the steering box forward about 2 -3 inches. then my duals and hydro assist.

[83yota]

man it looks tall with no bumper and cut to hell fenders. I want to do the f-150 tank and long arms but lets get some good shocks on it first

[83yota]

WELL....... It looks like I will be doing a long arm 4-link in the rear. I need to rotate my axle and what better excuse to do a long arm? I got my cross member on order So hopefully the doubler and new gears will be in next weekend. pics to come.

NOTE: I HATE "BONDO"  So I have decided on a color and started on the body work. I have decided that "Questionable Runner" might become "Bondo Queen". This thing is insane. The amount of "Bondo" is crazy. I dont know what they were doing. The body under the body filler is not even that bad, but here are a few pics to give you an idea.
Did I say I hate "BONDO". All the bare metal was "Bondo" when I started.






This is color I chose. "True Blue" it is crazy bright but I think I like it.

[Yota87Truck]

I love it! Throw some retro stripes on it and it would look awesome.

[86bobbedtoy]

why did you remove the filler?
bad job? cracked?

[Zs Confederate Toy]

Diggin that blue

[83yota]

It was about 1/4 in think in spots. and it had cracked and the body under it was starting to rust. Not a good job at all. I am sure when it was done it looked good but now it had cracked and chipped. I would rather have the dents and dings and no rust.

[83yota]

So I have been doing some research. I cant seem to find the ifs hub swap with tacoma rotors. maybe I have my things crossed but I could of sworn there was a wright up on this.

[Peterbuilt84]

I have a small write up in my build, link is in my sig.

Here is the original thread http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=824415

That's if you're going to use the fror kit though, not sure if you are looking into something else.

[83yota]

Well I got some work done this weekend. I got the duals put together with the adapter. I got the 3rd ready to be finished. Then I got most of the bodwork done and the t-case out.

[86bobbedtoy]

sounds like you busted a$$!!!

[83yota]

So today we started working on filling the holes... no luck the welder just blows through even on the lowest setting. maybe I will just put some glazing putty on and go from there.

[83yota]

SOOOO... I got some stuff in the mail.

this is thanks to Boggerunner


The speedo extention that I dont need (Mine is electronic)


The best part so I can get my duals in


I hope will this weekend will be productive

Weird what people do with bondo. I had a civic once they covered the whole car in a 1/8th" of bondo we sanded it all off to come down to factory metal it was kinda odd. Your build looks like that blue color will pop out on the trails and make it look sick.

[83yota]

Well thank you. I had to stay home to watch the kids and got to work on the runner. Papa got his girl a new pair of shoes.





I also got her something to lift her spirts when she gets stuck in a rut



Papa takes care of his girl

[83yota]

Better pic in the light
