alright boys now this is what you take wheelin.. hahahahah i want one of them

 

Going to use her for surf fishing trips on PINS.It has 4 rancho rs5000 shocks on it. I think the springs are wore out as it rides rough as heck. Any ideas for a bolt-on 3" suspension lift(no welding preferred)?

 

It looks like you already have a lift. If it's stiff, I'm betting it's Rancho, as well.

 

So 1977 is a 2nd gen? My mistake.

 

2nd gen Toyota truck

not 1st gen 4x4 tho (79-83)

 

You're right Nico,I'd like to get a smoother ride and still have the 3" lift that I have now.The front springs seem to be a little flat to me. The ride may improve once I put the yak rack,winch,etc. on it. Thanks!

 

done a little work...







painted (red from yellow), new seats, 33x10.5 BFG MT KM2, 5 speed swap from an 83

 

That red truck looks great!

What are the seats from?

 

thanks

the seats are from a mazda protege i believe, late 90s early 2000s model. i got them out of the junkyard, but I forgot to look at the year model.

 

The whole bed is fabbed with the old bed lower and the upper half is all storage on both sides. I think the new dodge trucks are going to have the same idea... I've had this set up for the past 8 years and works great for putting all your tools/parts in one side and gear in the other so the wet doesn't get at it. Plus they lock too which is really nice.

 

Yota81 -That is a beautiful truck!!
thats what I want
Great job!!

 

thats a nice flat bed!

did you make it or buy it?

 

Did anybody see the first gen on Xtreme 4x4 today? All the Jeep were making fun of it, calling it ugly and stuff. But the owner said "Jeeps are cute, Barbie drives one." His 'ugly', 20R powered beast got more air time than all of those Heeps. haha

 

I wish I had seen that one...I think it was mentioned before but I just bought 'IronMan'. There sure was a lot of nice 1st Gens used as props in that movie...nice to see them and movie was good too My daughter even noticed the trucks

 

Haha. I've seen it twice, and noticed them in every shot. Even my friend that I was watching it with asked if I had noticed them. He's not even a Yota guy, he just knows I am. But I give him props for the AWD Beamer.

 

Do you have any build photos of that bed or maybe some pics from above?
I would like to see how you did it and with what parts.
Looks like a clean factory job!

 

see it today! it was a nice rig and it didn't get the respect it deserved from the rest of that group
