@Speedytech7 who says leafs can't flex

 

I wish I had a 3d printer so I can make a Roomba shell

 

Holy shit that bed lol

 

If i dont end up with a 12 valve in the future, think the next option id opt for is the 7.3 in the 90s body. Always loved my dads 99 7.3 growing up. Think he has just over 200k on it, baby miles lol

 

@BartMaster1234 could you do me a solid and measure the length of your front driveshaft?

I'm going to make the 4 banger 4 runner 4x4, I already have all the stuff out of the wrecked 95

so would like to know how long at least one driveshaft needs so it can get made that way it can roll under its own power

There aren't any trucks at any junkyards I can scavange or compare to so I think im going to get them made

 

I want a 12 valve with that body

 

Looks like the frame is flexing the most haha

 

Don’t you have one from the turd submarine?

 

V6... I assume they're different lengths

 

Advantage of the longer wheelbase. It can flex the frame like that without issue.

 

A bed that long would kink up sheet metal

 

Wut?

 

I suppose, I don't think I'd want that, it's uncontrollable "suspension". That creates a poor ride and I don't think I'd want to fatigue any of that. Not to mention a long wheelbase is pretty much always a disadvantage unless you're just uncle grandpa from Alabama going to fart around in a mud puddle.

 

They shouldn’t be. I’ll go measure mine later.

 

Ok cool, if I can keep my old shaft and just bolt everything I have on that would be mint

 

Or up a hill

 

You can't twist a body panel without it warping, distorting, kinking, breaking spot welds or cracking
