Why are you trading trucks. Seems like someone is comding out on the short end.

LINY4Runner

What front axle is that with the pass side drop? Is that a Waggy 44?

crolison

Every blow up 10cv's? or break 3 windows wheeling? Thats why I am trading, strength and less windows.

He is trading because of his twin sons who dont fit in the back of the taco. So we both are getting what we need out of the deal. For me its my DD, for him its just a trail truck.

Sky Manufacturing toy axle housing, so a toy v6 8" third with longs, 5.29s and a detroit in it.

crolison

Got the rear end done, just need a couple of bolts to be drivable. Were working on the front bumper right now, and then going to take it for a drive and then pull the front third.

crolison

Got the bumper mounted up, we are so close to driving the big pig, but autozone gave us the wrong belts.

So were going to go get new belts and grab some dinner. And then finish up this big ole bastard.

Doesnt look bad does it.

That thing rocks. What are the specs on this thing? Besides the ones mentioned already.

TOYOTA 1

nice!! one day ill put my 2000 under the knife!

why is the front wider than the rear?

crolison

In the day light:


front is wider than the front because the axle housing is wider, and i have to run spacers on these rims, i am changing tires/rims this week.

dannomite

Are you changing because you don't like the iroks or because you want to bring the beast a little closer to the ground? Also I like your bumper on the Taco, it looks great.

crolison

Thanks

I like the iroks, but its my DD and 35's are going to be better for that. Im going to be already trying to lower it as much as I can.

ADH8796

Looking good the bumper gave it a great face lift. What tires you are you going to run?
