93 3.0 toyota on tons.

Going to use this to hopefully document my build progress.
Some time in June I picked up a 93 pickup with the plans to build a dedicated crawler.
It's a little rough but that's no big deal.

 

Plans are:
Axles
Ford kingpin front axle*
Chromoly shafts*
Spartan locker*
5.39 gears*
35 spline outers*
Ecgs drive slug*

14 bolt rear*
Spool locker*
5.39 gear*
Ecgs shave kit*
Rear disc brake conversion*

Wheels and tires
41.5x13.50x17 pitbull rockers (5)*
17 kmc enduro beadlock (5)*

Steering
Chassis unlimited high steer kit*
Psc hydro assist*
Trail gear 3.0 power steering pump kit*

Suspension
Front 3 link barnes 4wd kit*
King air shocks (14")*
63 leaf sprung rear with barnes 4wd kit*
Barnes 4wd anti wrap bar*
Unsure of rear shocks right now

Trailgear 4.7 crawl box adapter to a 3.4 transfer case for driver side drop*

Everything with * by it has been bought already

 

Bought the crawlbox today so not its waiting for parts to show up sland start building the axles.

 

I like the parts list. Going to be a sweet build.

 

and subbed...

 

Dang. Looks like you have a good start on the parts list.

 

Sub for the interesting build to come

 

Thank you guys for the subs. Will be a interesting build for sure

 

Forgot to post up first tire mounting. Still have to torque the bolts down though.

 

Crawlbox came in!

 

Should be sweet!

 

I'm hoping so! Just waiting on last of parts to show up.

 

Mmmm subbed. I'm planning on picking up a pickup or 4runner and putting a toyota axle under it. Ialthough I got ass ended in my truck last week. Insurance guy is supposed to check it out tomorrow. I'm afraid it will be totaled frame is a little bent.

 

If so you should buy it back and fix it then use that money for the other truck

 

The frame concerns me. It all depends on what the adjuster says.

 

Truck wasnt totaled. Need got a new shock and new leafs. Need to get the frame straightened and my airbag light is on now. But I did pick up a 85 4runner for $400. Now I'm looking for another one with a good body as this ones body is shot. Basically looking for something I can swap the body over to my frame. I am also looking for something with a title so I can run it on the street.

 

That's good! And how does the frame look on the 4runner

 

The frame doesn't look bad.... but it's hard to tell. The guy I bought it from used it as a mud truck he only used it a few times then hydrolocked it. So everything is covered in mud. And it was sitting for 2 yrs I mainly wanted the axle but I'm falling in love with it. Now I want to build a 1st gen 4runner. Haha my original plan was to build a pick up. Like I said my main reason for getting this was the axle.

 

Got the bed cut off of the truck this weekend and a little tinkering in the engine bay. Plan this week is to cut the Frame off behind the cab and build a new rear frame/bed/whatever else.

 

Got the fuel tank dropped and frame cut this afternoon. Of course every bolt was welded together with rust haha. Going to order 20' of 2x4 rectangular tubing on Monday to start building the frame.
