found 3" blocks on craigslist for 20 bucks.... i pick them up tomorrow...



(yes i know the blue truck should be the least of my worries right now but whatever, 20 bucks to lower it and it'll look much better)

nice tofer
give us some pics of the final outcome.

btw-how much was the total cost of your paintjob? I'm currently in the process of repainting mine and I'm only $8 into it. Hope the outcome will be as good

Hey Chris:
I am gonna try to replace my rear springs next week, if you want the 4" blocks I am taking out you can have'em, even throw in the u bolts that are probably gonna break when I grind them off.
Seriously though post up some pictures when you get them on...

I had a new 94 toyota 2wd lowered on 5 inches of blocks it was low and always got it sideways in 2nd gear and didn't have any trouble with them. they turned a little and hit the u-bolt. but they were locked in then

the front needs to come down another 1/2" to an inch.


found some spraypaint and did the wheels too.

Here is My 2wd (1982 w/ 338,000 miles)


Its overall a nice truck, currently I'm painting it, rust-oleum royal blue. I have some monroe air shocks in the back, very nice for hauling loads.

PS, are you driving the blue truck a lot now?

Tofer

yes. the 4runner is dead, so the blue truck is my only rig right now..

I see. I dig the first-gen 2 wheel drives. I hope my paintjob works out as good as yours.
