Ontario BS Thread

With enough will, and skinny pedal. You can try to make it anywhere.

Just try and find out.


Txt me when you need assistance.

 

DO IT!!!!

 

Most interference can be solved with a dremel or angle grinder.

I had to open up the mounting hole in the rear passenger shock bucket with a carbide cutter to fit the Icon RXT. Also had to drill two 5/16" holes in the frame to mount the resi brackets. The only thing I don't like about cutting is the downtime for touchup paint to dry.

 

SHORT TO LONG BED CONVERSION!

 

ACSB would be a weapon

 

Would have to bob the bed since the wheel arch’s wouldn’t line up unless you cut the truck in half and what not.

can kinda see it here

 

Cut the frame. That should bring it down to 100" wheelbase and a 4' box? @Norilsk is probably a season away from this.

 

Not too sure to be honest. Would be a pain with shortening the driveshaft (unless you got a single cab trucks driveshaft and made it work).

I have been thinking of shortening my wheelbase (rear axle moved forward and rear frame section cut off). But that’s way down the line. Have to figure that out when measuring for 3 link. Rear will be staying with leafs. Have to figure out the bed then too lol.

 

If you go that short a single piece drive shaft might be better geometry wise.

If you stay with leafs why would you need the 3 link? Maybe just a panhard or watts?

 

For the front....I got plans.

Currently just going to be building axles for the next couple years.

 

Shhhhhh how do you know my plans... ACSB is the end game

 

Can’t wait to cut a truck in half. Haven’t done that yet

 

Oh and V8 of course, Toyota built once it.

 

I thought the same thing when I first saw that

 

Looks like that rear axle was dug out of the mud!

I was thinking of Ecoboost swaps today after seeing crate ads pop up

That's like history going full-circle with the Toyota AK10... developed for the Imperial Japanese Army:



Note the fully-boxed frame, inline-6 engine, and 6-lug wheels that'll probably bolt right up to a Tacoma.
