97yota's fully caged 4wd long travel build

with all the money he's spent on this damn thing he could have had long travel by now. good job Eric.

 

your the only one that's done that... i dont see the trend yet lol

 

i added it up the other day. it scared me lol. i dont think ill ever do that again.

oh it will start.... just wait

 

marlin crawler clutch-ordered
3rd bucket seat-ordered
3rd kragen-ordered
cut for 33s-done

headed to take the dash out of the truck right now

 

What did you cut to clear 33's? Mine dont rub at all with LT. They rubbed before LT, but not at all after

Take photos of the dash un-install too. I was curious about that

 

^ This.

Your building backwards dude!! lol. but as long as end up with LT it's cool!

 

Eric,
Called GA. They are aware you are going to come by for the gears. I forget their hours on the weekends, but here is their number so you can call 480-507-5710.

 

Eric if you need help let me know I've removed and installed several first gen dashes

 

Hey thanks guys, patrick thanks for the offer man! I just started un screwing shit and I got it in like 30 min!

Jd, when you take yours off ill help, its pretty easy actually. But were going to go with a custom dash after all..

Thanks matt ill call them tomorrow!

I know I'm building backwards... Oh well, I already drive too fast in the desert without a cage. So I figured mise well cage then lt so I don't roll it..

 

Picked up 4.88s for my rear axel. Do I need a different carrier? Cause one came with it.. Got it from underdog on here.

 

get a tundra axle fool

 

do a full humvee rear swap

 

oh no you didn't.

 

i may do that eventually. but its not a need right now

so the origional idea for the back seat i dont think is going to work, may have to move the passenger seat forward a bit and mount it sideways.

 

So long as you have a six lug axle the gears will fit. Been the same rear ends since 86. The only ones that are different are the five lug. They are slightly smaller, but other than that all six lug are 8.4''.

 

It wont work. There is not enough room for a back seat

 

false, there is a difference between the e-locker rear end and the non e-locker rear end....i think?

 

different size pinion

 

oh it will work. with modifications....

lol with a smaller seat, mounting it sideways all the way to the passenger side with the passenger seat forward a little it should work. the reason it wont fit in the middle is cause of the hump, length wise it was fine, just not height wise

 

winner winner chicken dinner

eric, do not mount a back seat side ways
