Plans for a project car
Hey guys lately ive been looking around for a used 90s pickup that i could fix up and clean up for a project. i dont know all that much about older yotas but thats why im trying to learn about them. what should i be looking for? i lke the body style of an x cab 90s pickup but i would like to have a SFA already on it. should i think about a different year? this truck will be for mostly wheelin, no insane crawling but i want it to be a good wheeler prolly run atleast 35s on it. any ideas are good i just want some info on what you guys would do.
thanks

find an 85' extended cap pickup...
good luck find an already SAS'ed 90's pickup that isnt already done.
it won't be a project truck at all.
you could do the SAS yourself, too.

yeah i know it wouldnt be much of a project if it was already built how i wanted it. i dont really have the time or skills to do a SAS myself. i was thinking maybe if i could find an older yota that has a solid axle under it i could beef it up and lift it and throw some bigger meats under it. which years already had sfa under em?
thanks

haha well im probly not gonna get one from another country. i think my best bet is lookin older than 85 im reallly alright with any body style i like all older yotas. im trying to make a list of what mods i will have to do to run 37s or so because i want it to be a realiable truck and no have stuff breakin on me all the time. what mods would u guys recomend? i mean i know the obvious lifts and what not but what else.

how much money are you planning on spending on this build? if i got a 85 pickup i would do 5.29's, high steer, rear detroit locker, front elocker with longs, 4" lift, cut wheel wells, sliders, tg front bumber without stinger, snorkle, engbldr 261 cam (22re) lce header isr mod with batter/ intake swap. maybe a big warn winch. oyah and you might want marlin duel T cases . i think with all that atleast, you would have a reliable wheeler imo btw
