1985 trail rig build lookin for suggestions!!
So I used to have a 1989 Yota. The beast had a lil 22RE. It was my first truck, I loved everything about it except for the damn IFS. So after I drove it a few years I decided to "upgrade" to a 1985 yota.
So far what I have done to it:
-3" shackle lift
-33/12.50R15s
-sheet metal work to the entire body to fix the rust issue
-borla exhaust
-complete body bedlining
-MSD ignition module & coil
-Accel wires & E3 plugs
-Custom painted valve cover
-LCE engineering racing clutch and lightweight flywheel
My plans are:
-Weber red line carb or possibly LCE engineering side draft carbs
-LCE engineering street performer cam
-LCE engineering headers
-Trail-Gear 3 link front and 4 link rear
-8" frame chop
-35/13.50R15
-flatbed and complete exo-cage
-lockers and gears
-dual t-cases
There will be plenty of pics posted of what I've already done soon. Plus more pics of my plans. Please give me suggestions! I want ideas! I have plenty of cash for this as I just got home from a 12 month deployment!

-Winch
-OBA
-Armor up the undercarriage(axle trusses, diff protection, skidplating, low profile HD dual t-case crossmember, etc.)
-Crossover/High Steer + IFS gearbox
-Chromoly axle shafts
That's all I can think of at the moment...

35x13.50x15's? If you are thinking Toyo MT's they suck. I have them. The tire size stood out..
Don't chop the back of your frame until you are positive on your rear suspension plans so you have your rear hanger placement. Lot of guys chop and than wonder why they can't mount longer Springs
Just in case your 4 link plans change

If you plan on running 35x13.5 look into low back space wheels / wheel spacers or ifs front hub swap. I got 13.5s on my yota with 4.5" back space and they hit my leaf springs way before I hit my steering stops. I'd atleast get 3.75 or less back space wheels if you don't wanna run spacers or do the ifs hub swap.
