Max-4_Yota's: 4WD 82' Toyota Pickup Build

Yes sir, I can't wait.

She's alive, me and my pops got the trans in today.


Also, if your trans is sloppy like mine was I highly recommend replacing this part. It makes a world of difference, is super cheap and easy to install. I also replaced the shift lever socket with a MC one.

youre replacing parts that I havent seen other build do! I cant wait to see this thing finished, going to be an A+ ride

 

That truck was a steal man, but all the work you gave done is making it even better. looking to get the 63's on my 4runner here in a about a week. Best $10 Ive ever spent.

 

Spoke with the automotive teacher at the tech school I go to. He said he would set up my 3rd's for free sometime around the first of Sept. All I have to do is supply the parts, he's going to pull them and everything. Probably try to have 4.88's and a spool by then, maybe a spartan for the front.

 

You should do 'em yourself if you have the tools, or see if your teacher will let you use the lab/his garage. The truck isn't your daily driver so it could sit for a week while you get everything right. Gear setups aren't really hard, just very time consuming.

I totally want to do my own gear installs in the future, but it will depend on whether I have a place I can leave my vehicle torn down for several days.

 

talked to universal automotive today. do your chevy 63's like this it will give you TONS of flex. I was going to do mine...... turns out you cant do the double shackle with bob'd frame

this is what it will do:

 

There are some down sides to the double shackle as well

 

oh really? what are the down sides?

 

You should do double shackles if you want to roll your rig. They will unload on sidehills and steep declines, and even under hard braking and are just plain dangerous.

 

everything we do with these trucks are dangerous, as long as you use them with a little sense you would be fine. Definitely would do it on an every day vehicle, but it does great job for its purpose. I would run them if I hadn't bobd my frame, they work extremely good

Holy flex batman......

The black hoe is at my mechanics place getting the valves adjusted and a new rear pinion seal. I would do it but I no have the time this week.

If I don't have class when he is doing them I might swing by and see if he'll let me get my hands dirty, If I do have class I may just have to sneak out

 

Subbed!

 

Took the front axle out, installed the the Rough Country leaf springs. Im going to go ahead and rebuild the passenger side hub/wheel bearing while its out. Also going to clean everything up and paint it.

Also, he never got to the valves or pinion seal, I just went a got the truck since I had this weekend off.



Won't be needing these


New leafs brought to you by Walmart

 

better hurry were wheeling next saturday!

 

Gonna have a nasty bro lean until the chevys are installed..

 

Finished the front lift, gotta measure to see what length shocks I need. It drives pretty good but the steering wheel is now crooked.



U-bolt flip does NOT work with factory steering


Gnarly bro lean.

 

looks like sex on wheels!

 

Look nasty!
You dont need front shocks
Weld the front while it's out
Coming together nicely

 

Thanks!

U no run front shocks? Mines bouncy as heck
