MstrYota's 1st Gen Build/4WD Swap

Been a while since progress has been posted but a lot has happened.

4WD tranny installed and swap complete (mostly, some interior parts needed)



Also hoping to install this bad boy today

 

ARB installed, instructions were (as expected) complete shit, but got it done, only took a couple hours.

 

OME 885's, Yakima cargo rack, Safari Snorkel installed

 

Sold my truck to get something more fuel effiecent, but realized as I was test driving cars that I just wasn't ready to give up the truck life. So I bought another.

1998 4x4 2.7l 4cyl
Icon coilovers
Bilstein Reservoir shocks in the rear
Dakar leafs
Method wheels w/ BFG KM2s 33"
ARB front bumper w/ XRC 9500lb winch
Demello(?) rear bumper
BesTop soft shell
Rock sliders
Auto trans w/ J-shift Tcase and manual hubs
Detroit Locker in the rear
Detroit TrueTrac in the front
211,000 miles
"The Clean Slate"

 

No way.
You converted the truck and sold it shortly after?

Haha that's crazy. I'm actually looking into buying a DD. I definitely have to keep the truck but I get around 12-13 MPG and its ridiculous.

 

Unfortunately yes. I regretted it the instant the dude I sold it to plopped down behind the wheel. I've been riding my motorcycle quite a bit as a DD, but this new truck I got gets around 17mpg average even with 33's so that's still a step up from my old one haha
