Cause the factory set up is a POS compared to this kind of sfa

Trucks lookin awesome as always! Can't wait to see the flat bed! You plannin on going duals?

toyospearo · 07-26-2009, 09:40 AM

If it wasn't for the Utah Pioneers I would have posted pics of the flatbed. The 24th of July in Utah is a state holiday and the fab shop where my truck is was closed on Fri. Hopefully Monday it will be ready and I will post up a slew of pictures.
YES about the duals. I am saving my pennies. I hope to have an Ultimate set up in it within the next few months.
Thanks for the compliments 89silverpu!!

Spearo, you trapped under something heavy? Hope you're fine and when you get back to where there's time, electricity and bandwidth a-plenty, how 'bout some flatbed pics?

86Toyrunna · 08-16-2009, 06:48 PM

HELL yes you do!

I just rolled into town after being out in nowheresville for a few months. A fellow yotatecher PM'ed me and said he saw my truck on Interstate 80 the day I was driving home. That is a just a few degrees of separation! ahhahahah
My flatbed is in progress. I am making some modifications to it to hold a few things (tool box, Hi Lift, etc. It got stalled due to work. I expect to have it done within a month. It is tedious and steel is expensive so I work on it when I can. I have access to a shop with Miller welders and plasma cutters.
In addition to work it is bow season here in Ca. I had my truck up the mountain for the past few days and compared to stock (last years season) this year is a whole different thing. WIth the locker, gearing, U bolt flip kit etc. this truck is really amazing. It has made a HUGE difference. I will post up a few pics of wheeling around the Trinities.
Thanks for the concern as to my well being! I am finally back at a computer!

toy89yota · 08-19-2009, 05:40 PM

yeah don't blame you man you can only hunt for so long but you can work on your truck when ever

RiCh_90-yota · 08-23-2009, 12:54 AM

WOW nice work!

**4x4Fink** · 08-23-2009, 02:07 AM

Kickass build.

How do you like the OME springs?
That's what I'll be putting on the Runner in a week or so.

toyospearo · 08-23-2009, 08:33 AM

Thanks man!
I absolutely love the OME springs! They have finally settled. I was kinda worried about the shackle angle but after a month they settled just enough.
On road this truck drives like a dream and off road this thing is amazing!!
I am STILL building this flatbed

Soon I will have pics of it.

Are they the Emu Dakar springs (new models)?

I'm so stoked to get mine one.

Little pissed after finding a pretty steady coolant leak, I think it's just an old cracked hose on the bottom of the radiator.

4 days and I'll be on my way to 'Bama!

Toyota95 · 08-31-2009, 08:49 PM

I would like to ask you how do you compare the highway ride with the sas to the ifs. i am getting ready to do a sas. I am just curious to see if i can still drive my vihicle to the trails, camping, fishing and hunting spots. Thanks!

I can honestly say I like the SAS better. Much better! Granted, parts of my IFS were shot so its hard to be objective. It rides very smooth and straight. No vibration at all even at 80mph. It feel very solid and safe. I really like it. Its the best thing I have done to my rig so far.

P.S. Almost done with the flatbed! I will post up a thread on the build for anyone interested.

toyospearo · 09-01-2009, 09:31 AM

Here are a few pics from the other day out beatin the brush for deer..

Trinity Alps in the distance

This is actually a little steeper and more rutty than it looks.

algranger · 09-01-2009, 09:36 AM

Oh. My. God.

That is THE sexiest yota on YT. You've done an amazing job on it. Major props man.

Looks like you left heaven- er.. the Utah desert

Toyota95 · 09-01-2009, 06:38 PM

sweet thanks for your input. I am totally ready for my build. good luck with the deer scouting.

Wheelingnoob · 09-01-2009, 06:41 PM

I really like the look of your truck! I have wanted to paint my 2dr 93 runner that color for a few years now.

With the custom front springs and stock shackles how much uptravel do you have? Do you have the 12" shocks or the 10"? Do you find the truck hitting the bump stops on the logging roads?

Sorry for all the questions, I have the TG 3" kit in the front of my v6 runner and I am not 100% happy with it.

Again truck looks great!

I have the 10" Bilsteins. I have been checking the bumpstops for any rubbing and I haven't hit them yet. I wheeled it pretty good last weekend and I never heard them hit. I think the front springs are pretty well settled in. The bed is off right now due to the back and fourth measuring of the flatbed so it is really bouncy and that is not helping the spring settling one bit or my kidneys for that matter

The only TG thing I have as far as the springs or leafs are the shackles in the rear. The Old Man Emu leafs I just put on are super stiff. It is just the way I wanted them. I drove my buddies 89 with the TG 3" set up and I didn't like the ride. I thought it was to squishy. With around 300lbs on the rear of my rig it rides like a NYC taxi cab offroad!
I don't mind the questions. Glad to help.
My hands are vibrating from all the damn grinding I did today on my flatbed.
It is taking so long because there are so many little mods on it.

THANKS ALGRANGER!
After this flat bed is on I am gonna leave it be for a while. The flat bed is draining me of energy but my welding is getting really good. There are so many welds on it.
Here is a sample of one of the welds on the flatbed. Sorry, I was so proud of this one I had to post it up! ahahhah
