Old school Toyotas...Who's got em?

Turkhunt,
It doesn't look like your torsion bars are cranked at all. I had an '89 XtraCab I ran 31x11.50s (yes, 11.50s) and they did not have much room and my bars were cranked. I had to bang the firewall back and hack teh front bumper plastic some.

Good luck!

 

Thanks for the tip Rattler, I will check it myself. The guys ay Midas said it was already maxed out and it dose rub my mud flap a bit when I crank the wheel all the way.

 

Looks sharp! What rims and what size tires are those? Contemplating what set up I am going to go with soon.

 

Tires are 33" 285/75R16 trail diggers on 8" rims with a 3" lift.

 

I used to have to shoot some white grease on my steering stops every now and then. It would make a pretty annoying squeek when it was dry. If they said it was maxed tehn they are cranked.

What size are on it in the pics?

Oh hey, I have one of those:

 

couple pics from the weekend. got to really test out my 4.7 case and lockers and had a blast!

 

lucky

 

So, I usually hate when people ask this question, but can someone advise what size tire I can fit on with a 2" lift? There's a fellow NJ member that is selling BFG A/T's that are 265/75r16's. I realize I would need to upgrade the rims which, I'm looking at doing anyway. Will these fit without cutting and minor rubbing? Or, should I just stick with the 31's that are on there and leave the lift off?

 

I'd imagine they'd be okay with a 2". That's about a 33, and I ran 31's on my '94 5-lug with Fabtech AAL and just enough crank to level it.

 

Ill get a picture of mine i got today 85 single cab 4x4. So far I have around 350 in it need a head gasket but i have all the stuff for it.

Checking in....Absolutely awesome rigs within this thread.

Grabbed a truck out of storage to sell......what might you think it would be worth in today's market ? guess I could list it on ebay to get a realistic idea, what a pain.

1985 Toyota Pickup SR5 EFI w/55,000 miles. Mint original condition w/Zero rust or surface rust, no dash cracks, no seat defects. Runs perfect/needs nothing. What a cool truck, it has been on blocks for 12 years with all the necessary high maintenance climate controlled service complete.

 

I have zero lift and run 265/75-16s. You can run much larger tires on these old school Pickups than the newer Tacos with less or no lift. With just mud flap removal and leveling out the front (and pounding back the pinch weld) there's no reason you shouldn't be able to clear 33x10.5s with stock backspacing on a pretty close to stock height Pickup.

My tires are 31.7" tall and dont rub and I haven't even pounded the pinch weld or lifted it.

 

not sure what its worth but that truck is beautiful
