yea we go tsome pretty decent trails. no a whoel lotta rocks but enough to satisfy. theres this place in mountain city tenn called Callentee. im headin up there the 3rd of April fro the first time. not sure if my 85 wiill be done though so i may have to take the ole balck sheep(the 95)
thanks 87! i would have never thought id have some 36in TSLs, and go ta heck of a dela on em

 

i hear ya man, it would be pretty cool to hit some rocks but down here its all muddy logging paths. lol

 

coil more than likely..... water in the connection

 

? ar eyou talkin about the engine problem? i think ive finally got it figured out. 2nd 3rd 4th plugs are fowled, needs plug wires, rotar button, dizzy cap, and a air filter

 

any updates man?

 

nope not really. i traded the 36s for a set of 35 procomp xterrains fro my 95, bc its my DD and the BFG MTs i had on it were wore uneven even, dry rotted a littel and one had a plug. so the 85 will get the 35 1250 BFG muds. the truck still isnt runnin at the moment. im takin the bed off monday if all goes well. then the flatbed should be on ASAP. still undecided on the suspension


edit. i did replace teh spark plugs, wires, dist cap, rotar button and air filter the other day. i think my fuel problem is the strainer in teh gas tank.

 

u said u were gonna get rid of the power window doors?, if so let me know, im in va also near charlottesville, im definately interested.

 

yea id like to trade my doors fro a set of manual window doors in good shape. its hard to believe but these doors are in pretty decent shape. teh doors on my 95 are more rusty then these. im in bristol va

 

mounted up one of my 35s yesterday. it was kinda spooky usin a floorjack on grass on a slight decline so i stopped with one. i hammered to pinch weld flat but i think itll rub a little. i thought the wheels where 15x8s but i after i got the tires mounted i think there 15x9s. bummer. they measure abotu 8.5in wide. there 4in BS

 

picked up some superlift 2in front springs and a welded 4.10 diff today for $95 . so ill probably end up just runnin a 2in AAL or maybe a block in teh back if worse comes to worse. its been rainin fro a week straight so no progress. truck still dont run.

does anyone kno if with the springs,,, is one pack suppose to have more arch then teh other? if so which goes on which side?

 

was able to get the goose started and moved yesterday, mounted up another 35, then my floor jack started to booger up, so the rest will go on next week. and no the truck is not driven with diff size tires on the back. the wheels got 4in BS, which sucks, they dont stick out none, and i think there gonna rub on the springs in the front. so ill be runnin 1.5 or 2in wheel spacers. heres pics

 

the 95 makes the 85 look small. lol they both look good though

 

yea teh black sheeps a little intimidatin to the goose right now but not for long. started hackin my bed off and broke 3 cuttin wheels, so i gotta wait to finish it til this weekend or so to borrow my buddies sawzaw. mounted up the other 35s today finally and was able to drive it down teh road. doesnt rub the springs, but i forgot to trim the pinch weld on the drivers side so it rubs baaaad there. it isnt to slow. still got to fix the startin issues though.

anybody have any help there? i replaced to the plugs,wires,dizzy cap, rotar button and air filter but it still wont start w/o startin fluid. then if it runs a few mins, i can turn it off, then it will eventually start w/o fluid. and im smellin gas real bad to. but dont see no leaks?

amd thanks for the compliments backgate

 

ha no problem man. good luck on fixing the motor, cant wait to see the rest of this build

 

finally got the bed off today. wasnt to happy when i pulled it off. the cross member that holds the spare tire is pretty rotted, and teh round crossmember next to the fuel tank is also. the fuel lines are rotted badly. gotta love that toyota rust!

 

dang man, you gonna build new crossmembers??? also get some por-15 on that frame asap!!! haha still looks good though

 

yep I already got the round piece, and I'm gna use a piece of 2x3 square tubin for a new cross member, just lke the piece I got to box the end of my fame with. Where o you get por 15? I hear everybody talkin about it but never seen it

 

i have seen it for sale online. Tractor supply might have some or something similar

 

frame rot. alot worse then i thought. started knockin on it with a wrench to find teh bad spots
cross member



driverside shackle



pass side infront of cross member



lookin from the inside of the pass side cross member. its all gonna be patched.

 

dang man that rust would scare me. whats your plan on fixing it?
