Timicha's Build!!!!

badass looking truck man! love those headlights too

 

MUCH stiffer than most but does amazing off road after i took the sway bar off

thanks man!

 

just thought that i could give you a little feed back on you selling your truck. i got rid of my extra cab for the same reason, i wanted to bring my friends with me wheeling. yes they could ride in the back of the extra cab but there wasnt much room at all for anything else. Although i wanted a manual, im really happy with my new yota, just wish i had the money to build it up quicker. hope this might help since i was kinda in the same position..

BA single cab btw

 

thanks man, i'll actually be keeping it till i get done with school this year. also throwing a new transmission in it built by marlin crawler this next weekend so that'll be a nice touch

 

marlin crawler you say??

 

sounds sweet dude. you really know how to build up a nice truck. your bumpers are sweet too. if i had the money i would definitely get one. you sold one to my cousin (chaz 834) and it looks awesome.

 

threw this in my truck monday night, took about 4 hours to swap the transmissions, new clutch and put the old transfer case on the new tranny. everythings working great and once this is broke in i'll be ready to hit the trails again

 

DAMN!!!

 

tim i hope your doing ok after your accident i heard it from one of the guys up here. hope all is well.

 

Accident? Hope everythings going good and you're okay

 

Ya I'm fine. Just took the taco for a little tumble

 

I guess now the real build starts; exo, SAS, 38's

 

That is an amazing truck!! I basically just want your entire front end, wheels and suspension Thats exactly what i want my truck to look like. I have been tossing around the idea of a satoshi for the 96. Can i get some more details on the build and more pictures? How did you bend the mesh, how did you secure it, cutting out the plastic pieces?

 

To bad he rolled it

As for the mesh, just do some searching man, TONs or writes and tips on how to do it. all the same process tho.

 

oh ya thats right, i remember that thread where he showed pictures of it after the roll.

ive looked at a couple of satoshi write ups, but his is the only 96 4x4 style mesh grille ive actually seen, and i havent really seen specifically how to secure in the mesh in the write ups

 

i just found some little metal clips that had hooks and used epoxy on the back of the grille. then just left some over hang on the mesh and zip tied it to the hooks.

 

sounds a tad jerry rigged, is there a less zip-tie way?

 

Hey Tim if you don't mind me asking where did you get your lift, what parts are you running on it exactly, and how much did it run you? I wanted a 4.5" lift but those are only for 2nd gens so just was wondering about your 4" lift. Thanks

 

He doesn't, you can't run 4'' of lift on a 1st gen. Well not an all suspension one. He has his coils set at like 3.5 i think which is still pushing the limits of the CVs

 

Nice build, it will be a beast with the future 4.0
