Now THAT is freakin awsome!!!!

(You know you want to put some really aggressive tires on the back of it and go goof off in the sand!! )

It's kind of hard to explain. Like I said, I'm still learning, and I in no way good at drifting at all, just trying to learn. But, that being said, it's a hard truck to figure out. If I do anything in 1st gear, say a drift or a donut, I can control the truck how ever I want, any which way, and it's actually quite easy. But, any time I do a faster drift, say middle-top 2nd, the back end either kicks itself out so fast that I lose control and it spins out, or it'll just do a one-legger. I get frustrated when it does one-leggers, hence the reason I'm looking into the LSD. And as for almost flipping it- not even close. I've never even gotten a wheel off the ground. As whacky as it sounds, the truck feel so stable, even at faster speeds. I play in the back roads with my VW guys and a few Honda guys, and when I put my nice set of tires on, I can hang with those guys all day. I don't know how it does it, maybe because of the 4" drop, but the thing handles very well, and I'm serious!

This is nothing special, just a random clip. Don't get excited, it's kinda lame.

What's wrong with beating up an old truck? And I love the **** outta drifting the yota with 35s now that I've got the 350 in it. And weld the piss out of those spidergears. The 410s I have in my rear right now have lived in my buddy's toy with a 350 in it for 3years, and now in mine for over a weekend, and they haven't blown yet. So if it passes the Clint test, you KNOW it's good. Plenty strong if you don't have your head up your ass, and are a good welder with the right sticks.

Thanks Bumpin'. It's a project truck, and its nowhere near finished, nor pretty, but you'd be amazed at how many thumbsups and honks I get in this thing. No joke or exxageration, I get it ALL day long, from every type of person you can think. Me and my mom spent about 2 hour driving the other day, she counted 3 people honking and giving me a thumbsup just in those two hours. It really is weird how it's such an attention getter, especially when I have my dirt bikes or shifter carts on the back, now THAT is a pretty site, huh?!

Bump for drifting...

abecedarian

Bump for rent money.

I think you got a pretty cool truck. Props for doing something different. At least you didn't write about ANOTHER solid axle swap. I think the 2wd platform would be great for drifting- after all, after 10 minutes owning my first Toy, I accidentally drifted all the way up an on-ramp on the highway... suppose that's what you get when your 2wd long bed with 15 year old bald muds gets driven in the rain with a 16 year old driver at the wheel.

i hear you about it being stable... i've only drifted in the dirt because i don't have that much power behind mine, but it feels nice. Mine isn't even dropped and it doesn't even feel like it's tipping over. I just wish i had that kind of money to put into the truck for solely drifting

So did we ever figure out which is the best rear end for a 2wd 22re pickup. My buddy and I are looking for one. We are tired of spinning one wheel through the turns, hardly any control that way. I've heard that a Mustang 5.0 rear end works in our trucks.

If you're tired of the 1-tire-fire, then just lincoln lock up the toyota rear end..

Enzo1089

What's a lincoln lock? We want to do a LSD swap into it.
