i dont think i have an "official build thread" so here it is.

Its copied and pasted from another website, so if somethin dont make sense, thats why

here it is when i bought it oct 07 for $2300


new bed and some balck steelies

1.5in bja spacers, 1.5in tbar crank, 3in AAL


relaxed the tbars cuz the CV angles were so steep it ate 2 CVs in a week, thru in a 2in AAL


33x12.50 maxxis buckshot mudders


hi-lift mount



TG sliders



a few poser shots


a little rattle can



2inch body lift, bed




finished



herculined floorboard



not a build like most of them on here, but when i got my truck i was 16 and thought a big lift and gimoungous tires would make it go anywhere. and we all know how that goes. a little backgound info, i bought it oct 07, sold it with a blown HG october of 09, then bought my 85 jan 2010, and teh following week bought this truck back. but now the rings are broke and it was burnin 5qts of oil a week. so its in the shop right now gettin rebuilt, and my Marlin Crawler HD clutch came in today for it. itll be my DD when it gets done. and then the 85 will begin, if i can geet it runnin. anyways thanks for lookin!

well i we've been gettin a bunch of snow lately, had about 7inches this day, and i got off work at 7am that mornin. i went home and waited fro the bank to open to put my pay check in, and i went to the bank. on the way home i was takin a shortcut through a subdivision and this old man was in the middle of the road so i tried to scoot over for him since he wadn. my back tire slid off the bank and fell into a drain and over i went! the man never even stopped. i wasn't hurt at all, i was only goin about 15MPH. tow truck winched me back over, only damage was a smashed in fender. didn't even break my mirror off. the sliders saved a lot i believe. let it sit for a minute, fired it up and been drivin it since. mechically fine, but its hard to keep it on the road now. i was in 4WD when it happened, and now in 4WD i get a little dshaft vibrations. and it steers horribly. dunno if it knocked it out of line or what





damage, can t really tell from the pics


the old man may have not even known i did wreck, he looked to be 70ish. pray he doesn't cause this to happen to anyone else as it could have been a lot worse

a little update. i still plan on SASin in May-June but im gettin tired of a slow truck and open diffs. so i got some gift cards for Christmas and went to RPM Offroad and ordered a Spartan locker for the front. trying to score some factory 4.88 thirds at the moment, after i get them ill get the rear Locrite bc Spartan dont make a V6 locker. i would have went ahead and ordered the rear V6, but i figured it would be better to wait and see if i get the gears first because my rear is a factory 4CYL third. also gonna have to hack my fenders a bit, 1 because one is rusting, 2 because i get some rub at full stuff since i removed my swaybar. after that hopefully gonna bob the bed and have on board air. no its not a buggy with a v8 and 42s, but i think it will be a capable little truck. stay tuned!

I cant believe that flop barley did anything. Truck looks good I like it!

yoder519

thanks man. Spartan got here today!!!!!!! now its time to save fro gears. probably gonna send a deposit on them on friday

yoder519

and the flop was pretty much slow motion. felt like i was floppin over fro a good 20 minutes. my back tire slid down into the drain, so the edge of the drain was even with the frame, then it slowly flopped

rattlewagon

Glad everything was ok. What are you planning on running for gears?

yoder519

id like 5.29s, but i found some factory 4.88s im tryin to snatch up. so i guess after i SAS ill have to either buy new thirds fro 5.29s or just regear my stock 4cyl thirds. the tcase is stayin stock 2.28s for now because i dont wana dump no cash into a forward shift case

yoder519

FINAAALLLLY got all 4 wheels that i wanted. extremely tired of the balck wheel thing. i see more yotas with black wheels than stock so these gotta go. rounded up 4 stock spare tire wheels from 2 different guys. gonna paint them dezert tan. i think itll look perdy good. almost everybody ive showed says they dont like it, but me, i like it. gotta get wheel spacers first though
here they are unpainted.

hey man sucks about the flop! oh and its your truck who cares what other people like lol i think the rims will look good all said and done

yoder519

yea i seen a yota that had D60s and H1 wheels painted dezert tan and it looks SIIIICCCKKKK. so this is the closest thing i can get to that wheel besides recentering H1s and im not gonna do that. sent my deposit on the 4.88 thirds. hopefully goin to pic them up next week, or the next. gonna put the spartan in, then save for a locrite, then put the thirds in

yoder519

update. finally got my 4.88 3rds a couple weeks ago. aint got them in yet, gotta wait til i can score a day off. had two dayhs off since november 13th. workin 7 days a week and goin to school SUCCKSSS. kinda changed the plans, gonna run the locked front, open rear til can get teh rear locker so i can get better mielage DDin it. stay tuned

yoder519

finally some progress pics. got my front fenders cut yesterday, and cut the rears today. was goin to put the rear 4.88 3rd in, but then couldnt get the bolts on the dshaft broke loose, so itll have to wait. aint got no pics, but i bought some door guard from advance auto and put around the lip of my fenders, works PERFECT for this. yes, i cut more than enough fro my 35s, but i wanted to cut all the rust out, and follow the same body line. not perfect, but im happy

matt92yota

yoder519

yoder519

exhaust studs on manifold and down pipe worked there way out. its done this the past two times i went to mtn city

caved in pass fender

broke pass signal light off

dented pass side of bed all the way down

dented drives side of bed pretty bad

a tree that was cut down somehow smashed the door frame of the drivers side. i was backing back down a trail after i realized it was a dead end. now my door will no latch shut. it pushed the inside of the cab in and back. dunno what i gonna do about this. its my DD so this aint good. i got it zip tied shut now and have to climb out pass side. theres about a 1.5 gap between the door and cab now. im a Little disappointed

also caved my tailgate in after sliding down a bank
