81 Tube frame Trekker NOW ADDING TTB’s and 400HP

Sweet and simple I likey . Stock case will handle the torque and hp? That’s smart . What are diffs geared at , are you running a 9” rear full floating will the front twin I beam take a 9” also ?

 

It will handle it fine for what I’m doing, I’m not into the rock crawler stuff, I have another rig for that (see below) and yes 9”

 

I would like to have a 1st gen runner they are a fun rig even stock but the potential is endless , I’ve had several friend that had them as rock crawlers back in the day , dual cases with tbi gm 4.3L it was a lot of fun . I’ve never built an off road vehicle but I’ve built plenty of stock vehicles , I’ve been a mechanic for 26 years now that my kids are raised it’s time for daddy to have some fun . I bought a 06 single cab Tacoma , only had it 3 months and Ive already done the add delete and an FJ t case swAp ,I’m pretty sure I’m going to go with the JD fab lower relocation but I’m not sure which direction I want from there I may just keep stock up and lower arm but upgrade the upper and lower bj’s and bushings to something better . I believe you have some options for those parts also , I’m on budget so I want to spend my money on the parts that will be giving me the problems first . Anyway , keep up the excellent work , hopefully I’ll be posting on the JD thread with some of there parts on it in the future .

 

Good luck with your build and I’m always here to answer any questions you might have... my only advice is stay away from my threads as they will drain your bank account FAST

 

I married a woman that won’t let that happen ,this build will be slow and smart , what offerings do you have for bushing and ball joint upgrades for my stock arms , I’ll probably do the spindle and double shear plate kits and I believe you have a hiem tie rod kit that will go on my stock rack ?

 

Got my brakes all mounted, limit straps on, pedals mounted, floor finished gussets added every where etc... the last 10% takes 90% of the time or something like that

Thanks for the weld and shock porn ! Keep up the amazing work .

 

This is beautiful! Thanks for sharing. I’m working on a 67 stout with a 2jz at the moment but nothing like this.

 

Thanks!

 

Stretching the hood and fenders 4”... not fun at all

Dude. You're ridiculous. Seriously.

 

Thanks! I’m getting excited to drive this thing
