Yeah. If I had the money I wouldve been at the guys place in an hour.. I have a feeling im not gonna run across a deal that good in awhile.

Thing had a brand new 22r, ran great, minor body damage and was ready to drive!

sa51

heck even if u downsize to 31s, it'll still be bigger then your 2wd


i'm just so used to large tires i think 33s are small. i plan on running 37s or 38s when i get enough money to get a SAS with 4 inch springs

algranger

damn man i just paid 750 for one with a bad bottom end i wish i found a deal like that

91Toyota

Both have 22re's. lol...gotta love those engines!

Dang...thats a bummer. I'm sure you'll find another one!

lol...but my brothers truck has 31's stock...and I want mine to be bigger I wonder if 35's will fit...any suggestions?

sa51

omg thats a steal. anything thats driveable and a yota for that little is a steal in my imo






91yota: yes 35s will fit with your estimated 4 inches of lift. even if u swap in chevy springs, the combo of the shackles and springs will give u enough room. i wouldnt go any wider the 12.5 though. and keep it on an 8 inch rim.

Jay351

Yeah, the thing sold in a day..... I was pretty depressed. But I have a pretty big money pit as it is, I don't think my wallet could take another.

plus I think our neighbors would kick us out of the neighborhood. When we all park at home we take up half the damn street
Lifted trucks all over the place

sa51

haha i hear ya, my neighbors must hate me, the week i painted my truck i had the air compressor running all day. that and my roomate is an autocrosser so he's always working on his rice rocket as well.

as for a second project i cant afford that either, but having a second vehicle would sure be handy so i dont have to worry about breaking my DD

91toyota, i replied to u at the bottom of page one

algranger

Nice! i would try and go for another truck tho that would be sweet
thats whats cool about havin a large piece of land we got... 9 trucks, a van, a car, and a 50 year old motor home, a 30 year old boat, and a few trailers.. not to mention the 3 trucks worth of toyota parts i have layin around lol people in the city wouldnt be too happy

91Toyota

Why no wider than 12.5?

sa51

if u go wider they might rub. u have the height so your fenders should be fine though

91Toyota

Could I go 37's? I'm seriously doubting it though. LOL

But I think if I buy new tires...and do a solid axle swap I will have a very decent truck with good flex and not too big of tires to get in the way. Whatcha think?

algranger

you can go wider you just may need to trim some stuff up also if you go wider get a 10" wide rim you will have a wider footprint

algranger

i think you can go 37 but you might need to get the floorboard out of the way you know that pinch weld on the corner there? you can cut that out and weld it in backwards or weld a flat piece in

oh and if you do an sas you will have a very decent truck with good flex

Jay351

Yeah, my neighbors hate me. Well one neighbor likes us, most of the others do not. My ty neighbor actually had the galls to come yell at me for leaving my truck idling in my driveway. Apperantly it was too loud (before I did my exhaust system), and it was against the law to idle your car for longer then 3 minutes.

Good thing I work at 1am and I let my truck warm up nice and long in the mornings.



Lucky guy, I have always wanted to live on a nice peice of land, just to get away from people. I hate having people living 10ft away! I want me a few acres so I can build a shop and be crazy, stupid and make lots of noise allllll day!

algranger

yep sure do! i dont have an efi motor yet but i have a new model 22r that im gonna efi when i get the chance they are great motors

91Toyota

Which would you go with then? These tires will last a long time...and I would rather buy tires that are going to be used for the life of the truck...like I don't want to buy 33s now only to sas a year later and run 37's. And spend $2k on tires. lol.

So either 35's or 37's? Which would you go with? And I'm really digging the baja claw...not sure if that is for my terrain or not. lol. Either that or the new BFG

91Toyota

Oh no doubt! I rebuilt the one in my 2wd. Just didn't do it quite right Oh well...live and learn! As soon as I get this a little streetable I'll start driving it and take apart my 2wd to fix it...AGAIN

scuba

Ha, Well you have alot of catching up to do...
Dont you have to be 18 first....Oh wait...


But seriously...
Speaking of yota tats...
I drew this up not too long ago...Guess ill figure out how to work a faint-ish Yota symbol in the backround
I know its a crappy drawing...but I know a tat artist can turn it into some good stuff....



So im guessing you finally got that tranny in...?

algranger

yeah i just moved out of the city my neighbors were pretty cool tho this old guy next door always came out and hung out with me while i wrenched

im working on building a shop its expensive but yeah land is nice i can blast tool as loud as i want while a wrench at 3am (i do it all the time)

Jay351

Is that 1" of clearance important to you?

I would stick with 35's untill you wanted to upgrade more. P.s Look on CL for tires! don't buy new.
