whose badass rig?

I found this pic on one of the forums. i basically visualized my car looking like this. does anyone know whose ride this is? what kind of suspension? how much lift? size of tires? wheel size? etc. anything about this one. can you tell from the pic if its SAS?

all i know is that it has bushwacker cut out flares that are damn expensive!

id say 35's with 5-7 inchs b/c look at the size of the dog compared to the tire and the rig in the back ground looks like a yota with stock wheels so that can only at most have like a 33 by like 10.50 or 12.50 and they are not soo much smaller than the swampers. the 15 or 16 inch wheel looks too big for the tire to be a 38's. i may be wrong but that just my opinion. still would trade my rig in a heart beat for it though.

Look at the front drive shaft angle, big lift.

Why waste all the money on a 8 Lug conversion front and back to only run 35's or smaller?

Yea, I want it too

That's the biggest tire I would personally run on a 1st gen....and 8 lug isn't overkill for it, might as well be super stout.

I say 34" Swampers, with 6" of suspension. If you could find a different angle then I bet you could get a better answer.

looks to me that is is way to tall, i had 37" iroks under mine with only about 4-5 inches of lift. It seems to have full width axles which is a major plus but the rear springs look pretty steep, im sorry but i am not too impressed, no offense, but it really isnt that badass of a toyota.

That looks a lot like this dude from Virginia who went away in the millitary a few years ago and had to sell his truck because they wouldnt let him take it with him or something. He was part of the TTORA in VA since he also had a Taco. Jason or something maybe?

yeah, i am thinking the same thing, last time i saw him post anything was on pirate and he was in Hawaii, i am not sure if the truck was there or not. He literally did not only a full "build" on that truck but pretty much fully "restored" it as well. he wanted like $10,000 for it. i think he literally replaced everything in it.

take some measurements.

Who here has a 1st Gen? Measure the height of your rear side window. Take that measurment as a starting point and apply it to the photograph. I am making up numbers, so say the window is 11 inches tall, now measure the height of the tire. Is it exactly 3 times the height of the window? If so, the guy is running 33s. It is obvious he isn't running 33s, but you get what I'm saying....

We can figure this out.
