Underdog777's '88 4x4 build

If it is the case of a turn n burn then at least I'll finish the class. I have to one way or another man. I can't have it here, and WLC is the following wednesday.

 

That sucks. well hopefully It all works out man. let me know if theres anything I can do on this end.

 

pics of paint???

i really hope you can make it out dude

 

Word bro. Fur shore.

 

Update. This bitch made it home even after the clutch slave cylinder went out. That being said this bad boy is going to be a long work in progress. I've decided to focus on major mechanical functionality repairs before doing anything that requires bookoo bucks. Thursday night it took 2 hours to get the fill plug off the front diff because it was seized on so bad, anda I turned the 24mm plug into a 22mm after needing a rachet tooth socket, breaker bar, 3' cheater pipe, and a second personn to push on all of that. So yeah, a lot of work ahead.

 

Sorry for being late on these, but here ya go.

 

So to bring this thread back to life a little bit. I thought I would share that after much consideration (and several drunken conversations) I have decided to go with LT and stick to LT. Why? Expense mostly, and versatility. After reading up on Supra TT's build it became clear to me that LT is the way to go. I can install a LT set up myself, and half as a SAS if my buddies and I did it. OP has been updated.

 

Update bump. Priced together parts to get this truck on the trails. Looking at just under $500 if I want to replace suspension parts. Under $200 if I want to just fix the leaks, and the clutch slave cylinder.

 

That's not too bad at all, I'd say fix the leaks.. then wheel it till the suspension needs replaced.

 

Thats pretty much what is going to happen. I bought a LCE clutch line instead of the slave cylinder. It had occurred to me that the cylinder should be fine since it was working in the first place. My goal for Christmas leave is to have this beyotch on a trail.

 

Looking great Matt, that paint job turned out pretty darn well too

 

good work man!! looks good

 

Thanks guys

 

LCE steel braided clutch line came in. Waiting on leave to install it.

 

Mmmm.. truck parts...

 

Alrighty then, I contacted a dude here in Cali that will sell me his front axle for 3 hundo. I'm awaiting pictures of it, but none the less I'll be making the short trip to go pick it up this weekend. Now, the question begs, 4'', 5'', or 6'' of lift?

 

SAS? I would say 4" maybe 5"
