hartzog69 · 03-27-2009, 06:13 PM

olharleyman, i have seen that T100, although thats a Little EXTREME for me, i like it greatly lol, i am more looking for the "cheaper" mods you can do to improve the performance offroad, or should i say reliability, even though i have stock setup and been in mud past tha door seals at tha bottom and....well.....she went through fine, i even tryed to get stuck by pullin in slow, puttin it in 2wd and tryin to get out, took me a min to get out but i done it, i just took my time and was sure not to get over 3.5kRpms, i think it helps havin stock tires as 31-10.50s, i am gonna move up when i can, or might just get some aftermarket wheels to make them stick out

scuba · 03-27-2009, 10:02 PM

Well as you'll find out, theres not many t-100's on this board..
hell theres not many period..

Your first post is quite vague, then ^ ones saying you want to improve off road performance yada...

We need more info about your truck dude..

hartzog69 · 03-28-2009, 08:49 AM

scuba · 03-28-2009, 06:45 PM

ok, it is a 1996 Toyota T100, 3.4Lv6, purpose, is basically an all around offroad truck, yet a daily driver, so....mud, rocks, occaisonally brushy area??

olharleyman · 03-28-2009, 10:18 PM

More a mall crawler or fifty fifty off road mall crawler? Auto or 5 speed?
I say get yourself a 4" lift set of 35's gear it for them and call it a day.

scuba · 03-28-2009, 10:35 PM

Trd 3.4 supercharger maybe ?

Oh yeah, And what Harley Man said...

scuba · 03-28-2009, 10:53 PM

I used to have a couple of those on my old laptop...

Bagger · 03-28-2009, 11:05 PM

They're available on your current computer too...

When you open the T100 section here, scroll down through the 2 pages of threads. Several thread titles referring to mods, lifts, tires, etc. Copy & paste links. This internet stuff isn't as hard as it looks.

hartzog69 · 03-29-2009, 11:08 AM

i appreciate the input everyone, open to more at any time!! my truck is 5spd manual, it will be more of a trail type deal, but not much big rocks, but there is that occaision, and will be on logging trails also, so occaisional sticks in the road, and also i will be playing in the mud, and yet this will also be my everyday truck, wich i will be on the road come october, and also use it to haul stuff, so i dont wana lift it to much, but i can always get a hitch to put in my reciever to level it a lil better

so now, to the point, im more in the market for a mild lift, somethin probally easier to put on, and yet cheap!! so possibly a body lift? 2 inches, as i beleive if i go only 2 inches, then i wont have to extend the steering links, and all those things, and with 2 inch i should be able to fit 33's, so that would be about all i would need i beleive

scuba · 03-29-2009, 11:19 AM

You can do Balljoint spacers upfront.. SDORI.com ....
And shackles in the rear, IDK who makes shackles for t100's, maybe downey-offroad.com

If you do a 2" BL youll still have to extend steering, 1" is the least required, hit up 4crawler.com and do alot of reading about body lifts...

hartzog69 · 03-29-2009, 04:41 PM

how hard is the balljoint spacers to put on?? do you have to lift the front end off the ground?? could you use the jack that came with the truck stock?

scuba · 03-29-2009, 08:51 PM

4-5 hours, you need a 4.5" angle grinder, and your really gonna want some jackstands, you have to dance back and forth..if you find enough threads on it, I know I have one, at sdori.com is a good one, and theres a bunch here, youll know whats involved...please take a few mind out and read read read...

hartzog69 · 04-01-2009, 01:26 PM

sounds like its a lil more risky than i wanna risk, lol

t-1hundred · 04-10-2009, 06:04 PM

i put a 2" body lift that cost around 200 dolla with shipping and all and i got a great deal on on wheels i found 33" coopers mounted on american racing baja rims for only 700!!! and the 33s fit fine with the 2" body lift minus the front mud flaps....o and you will run into a lil problem with the stick shift and the body lift but nothing major...

heres a pic with 33s before the lift i had the torsions a bit jacked but they fit with the stock lift

INFINITY · 04-10-2009, 06:13 PM

i put a powertrax no slip into a t100. VERY easy install. great results.

t-1hundred · 04-11-2009, 07:49 AM

yeahh im putting a detroit truetrac in the rear end now...i hope i dont get disappointed in its performance

hartzog69 · 04-12-2009, 11:09 AM

t-1hundred, thats a pretty nice T100, i like the look how the tires stick out, what backspacing are on those wheels, and will wheels with like 4.75 backspacing fit on my truck??

btw, i dont really like the idea of a supercharger as it has 189,000 miles, you guys with superchargers, how many miles do your trucks have?

t-1hundred · 04-12-2009, 12:16 PM

i believe the size of the rim is 15x10 the offset is -43 and the backside is 3.81 ...but as for the supercharger part, if they made it for the 3.0 idc how many miles are on that motor id do anything to get more power outa that thing lol.... but you have the 3.4 so just be lucky you have the option haha but yeah if you come across one for dirt cheap id do it...

hartzog69 · 04-12-2009, 12:26 PM

lol, i would but im not really a fan of blowing it up, but hell i get alot of power outta the stock 3.4LV6, especially for what it is!
i gotta get the headers on and a high flow intake system
