That is awsome to know. It really feels good to know someone's hard work and imagination gets noticed. Actually on my past birthday my secretary gave me a framed mag cover along with the page my truck was on. I never even knew it was given to the mag. What a great person I have working for me. Im blessed!

 

Yeah that's a nice truck. I see you went with square headlights. I went the other way with my 83

 

Factory Brown Metallic, 80 long bed, 85 22RE/83 L52, 83 2wd fuel tank, lce header
v6 brakes, ss lines, 15x8 MT classic II, OME lift, LINE-X
85 SR5 buckets, tuffy console

 

Am I just not seeing it, but it looks like this truck is running a Hy-Steer. From what I understood, you can't run a Hy-Steer setup on a OME lift... What am I missing?

 

usually you need a minimum 3" lift to run tradition high steer but looking at this particular truck it looks to me that he is running a high steer kit from 4x4 Labs that places the steering behind the axle due to the position of the steering damper behind the axle.

Good eye!

 

Just saying hi, I have been watching these forums for a few years and have been a Toyota enthusiast since 04' (mostly Supra). Heres my first Yota truck.

love the color

 

It is a standard high steer kit. Yes you can run it with the OME lift. I have 2" bumpstops to keep the steering rods from hitting the oil pan. I installed the steering box as high as possible and use a flat pitman arm. The stabilizer lower mount is welded to the swaybar tab on the axle. Works great!! The clearance is very tight but it is there.

 

Would like to see a pic of your interior with the bucket seats and console. I have a bench but just picked up a set of buckets and need to get a console. Thanks

 

Thats pretty interesting! Would you be able to possibly post up some more detailed pics of your setup underneath the front end? I'm highly interested in what you've done.

 

cool yota kool?!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

myyota85 - Thanks man!


SC81YOTA - I will take some more interior shots and post them up The tuffy console works nicely with the buckets.

 

Love Love Love the color, looks awesome

 

idk if any one has told you what those holes are for yet or not i didnt get that far in the thread. but stock they have lil like bump stops there im not sure if they are for the gate or what exactly but they are just lil square ruber bumpers.
