The Frankenstein Build! LT/Expo/Trail rig..and BS

FINALLY! It's about time. Only 4 months of "gonna get me some of dat there AR TEH TEH soon. Then ill be one of them exposition riggs"

JK MAN! Very very of how bad ass this rig is going to be. Once that bumper goes on and the RTT goes on a newly built rack man, you'll be set and ready to rock!

 

Gotta love that WY dust!

lmao

 

i know haha all will be well soon tho. And plus i don't have that option now lol i only have about a month and a half left of having access to tools and a shop at all

Yep lol its everywhere lol

idk..just..kinda do..take a few pics as well. and some of the stuff just went right back onto the new cab. like i have the AC and air box and few other things in there already. The real bitch is gonna be both wiring harnesses.

 

You might want to keep it on all fours then

 

Lookin good Monte!

 

Thanks Ian..work in progress.

Okay, another big update. Got the rolled body off. But due to some time issues, didn't get the new one on sadly. But thats okay as i need to do some cleaning up on that body anyways. Ill just clean it up and start assembling it.

anyways..pic time. Sorry for the Cell phone pics

What the shop looked like when we came back



Hood less



Lift time!

Check out my body lift







Old cab


Looky looky..haha




VROOOOMMMM!!!



My new ride lol



My Beefed Taco CB drop bracket came in the mail today! so that was happy. Orded my CVT tent as well and am officially rid of the Supra Trubo

Now..the LONG road to getting this thing back together..


Thanks a bunch to my Dad for all the help and support he has done for me. I love you!


Anyways..more to come..

 

Lol thanks Chris.

im working on it! My dad just left for work this early morning and will be gone for 2 weeks so could be a while before the new cab goes on.

 

Why you have to wait for dad? you not know how to use forklift?

 

Hey Monte I know where to get a 2jz for cheap lets put it in your car?

 

No i know how to work one. But i need an extra set of hands to help guide in the fuel lines and other stuff to make sure it goes on strait and what not.

2jz for cheap? LOL ya right man.

And i sold the car

 

You need me to come help I am glad you sold the car! and yes cheap 2jz for 650.00

 

GREAT looking truck!!! How much would you say you have spent overall on your suspension?

 

2jzget? or 2jzge??

and sure man

Thanks man! Its only gonna get better

and well..5100s up front and eibach coils are pretty cheap..300 bucks around..my leafs thos were 500 shipped plus 77 for AAL and lik 60 for the shackles..then i screwed up and had to order some new 5150s for another 210ish it think..

A lot so far. I love it tho. The leafs flexed great, especially with a bit of weight in the back.

I just bought some new leafs tho as my passenger side on was flattened in the roll over i think. So that was another 200 bucks cause i bought em used.

Almost pulled the trigger on some 700 dollar Alcans tho haha

Front LT is next tho and relocating the rear shocks.

your an 02 tho so you have a lot more leaf pack options then i do as my 96 has smaller leafs. So leafs aren't as bad for you..lucky!

 

2jzget

 

Holy piss thats a good deal

Tempting..

 

That is with wire harness and ecu.. still debating putting it in mine.


So are you keeping the shackles in the rear when you change to the skyjacker leaf back?

 

Hell ya man. I love the shackles. Droop way good with them. Tho i guess if they lift to much they will come off and the stock ones will go back on. And my AALs might go in them too.

They are suppose to give like 3.5'' of lift on their own tho..but the AALs might have to go in due to the plate rear bumper, tire gate, and bed rack/RTT. Plus camping gear and recovery gear..gotta hold like 500lbs extra at least lol

DO ET!! would be a huge upgrade man. Well worth it.

 

I still have stock shackles with my All pros and they gave me 3-4" easy. I dont know if i should get extended or not.. What do you think?

 

Go shackles?

 

Id go 1'' more at least..might as well. They do help with droop a lot. Do also increase wear on the leafs tho too.

What? Yes ill keep the shackles.
