I have a 2wd drive cab, can I join?

 

Latest pics of mine:





The bed is actually from Russell's truck (vwfastg60), as it blew a head gasket and he parted it out. I have the door panels, SR5 steering wheel, tranny and some other parts too.

 

Looks good Brian! we gotta paint that thing. I have enough colors to do some 80's graphics and stuff...it will be sweet!!!

 

i did kinda. it took me like 3 months to get ahold of that guy and i called him like 12 times and e-mailed him every other day. the squeaky wheel gets the grease

 

he was easy for me to get a hold of him, the problem was that when he installed my front end, he left stuff loose and rigged the steering up to where the truck wouldnt stay in one lane while trying to drive it. he also screwed over the guy that i bought my front end from and had his truck for 5 months longer then he should have and didnt even complete the whole job.
his custom fab work looks ok, but his install capability and his customer service sucks big time. that guy will never get another dime from me and i tell everyone who i talk to who is thinking about dealing with him.

 

i have one but it's not the right year for this forum category

see sig

 

i love my 2wd

 

Here's my 2WD. 1990 xtra cab 3VZE automatic. It's got a newly rebuilt trans along with an additional trans cooler, 5% window tint all around & I just put on a 92-95 grille last night (I've got the matching lower valance that will go on tomorrow) 152,xxx miles on her & she runs great.

 

Here's my 90 2wd 22re

Duffco LT kit + dual doetsch shocks
Deaver 10 leafs + Bilstein 7100
3" body lift

 

Here she is
[IMG][/IMG]

3 inch BL, 1.5 BJ spacers, Downey 24mm Torsion Bars, Downey Shackles, Cherry Bomb Glasspack, American Racing Atlas Wheels with 235-75-15 tires. A/T in the front, M/T out back. W/145,000 miles

 

Here's mine. 1994 regular cab automatic, 216K miles. Pretty stock right now, except BJ spacers and cranked T-bars. If money were no object I'd like to go long travel, but since money is a huge problem (hours got cut at work, got married 3 months ago, had a kidney transplant 7 months ago, children in the near future, want to buy a house ASAP....) I'm probably gonna do something similar to the 5K prerunner build from Off-Road magazine, Downey grand slam suspension, 3" lift spindle, 33's, re-gear, out back maybe deavers, fiberglass at all 4 corners + hood, etc.

 

damn that looks sweet ! that's like what I want to do ! Tell us more about the front suspension please ?

 

This should be called.

"if you want a 2wd post up here"

Im looking to get a 2wd 4cyl pickup for a DD for the gas mileage benefit.

 

Totally stock save for the shell.....and all that desert dirt on it. I wouldn't mind some more ground clearance and power, but it's my "economy car" and can't afford to give up the 28-30mpg highway. I would either get another 2wd and modify it or get a 4Runner for the dirt versatility. I'm also tempted by early Broncos, F150s, FJ40s, or FJ55s as candidates for a diesel swap.

 

thanks! in that pic the front end is a fabtech ivan dan long travel setup. its 2.5'' wider per side and pulled about 9'' of travel. it wasnt a bad setup but, it needed lift spindles then it would get a little over 10'' running a single fox 2.0 8'' shock. i actually just got done pulling it all off yesterday and am in the final stages of swapping in a total chaos uniball kit. pics will be up when im done.
the rear end was a stock toyota leaf pack with no overload with a deaver triple pack add a leaf and a downey HD shackle. it got a little over 10'' of travel out of that running a fox 2.0 10'' shock all mounted under the bed.

now im running a fox 2.0 14'' shock with a small bed cage that my friend made and a f55 deaver pack with a 9'' shackle. getting just under 15'' of travel with this setup.

 

Wanna sell it ? PM or email me (josephpmcgowan@gmail.com)

 

i'll put you on the list. i have a few other people interested first but they might back out. but i will let you know.

 

technically im only 1wd... i dont let that slow me down though

locker in the near future though

 

anymore 2wd out there?

 

I made a "how to lift a 2wd" thread
