What size lift and tires on the straight axled truck?

 

Both of the white trucks are set up to be as close to each other as I could reasonable get in terms of lift and tire size. Two inch body lift and three inches of suspension. Tires are 33x12.50 BFG A/Ts on a 15x8 rim. At the time of this picture I had the 1986 front ride height adjustment a tad low and the 1985 had too long a shackle up front making it a bit higher. The rear lift between the two is slightly off giving the rake of the 1985 a nose up and the 1986 a nose down. The fiberglass fenders tricks ones eye as well.

 

we have matching bumpers nice 86, those fenders look like a jumper, ever bring it to the sand dunes? or just have em for more space?

friend of mine has that exact 85 minus lift, its bone stock and she bought it off the dealership new.

my 86 used to be white like that, kinda thought of turning it back, but eh the yellow has grown on me haha

 

Yeah you need to leave him yellow.

I like bright colours on a 4x4. I kind of want to paint mine dayglo orange.

Our trucks start to get a bit ridiculous so might as well give it the paint to match.

Plus, if I ever do get lost/breakdown way out in the bush a S&R aircraft would spot me for miles.

 

He's the one that can make your IFS rig way better without bending you over like other LT kits.

I very nearly bought one for myself and my good buddy wants one for his. If you don't do all the custom stuff he did like centering your front diff it gives you great travel for similar costs to an SAS job.

Any other LT I've looked into costs way more than fitting a solid axle.

 

do it!
everyone should pick a crazy color, let there be tons of brightly colored yotas! haha

 

When I get all of my dents and rust fixed, I'm painting mine AMC Big Bad Orange!

 

Pictures pictures pictures pictures pictures! Hahahahaha... Just kidding, any discussion is good discussion... But where the heck is everybody? Lol. Oh that's right, I'm a chef on a holiday week during summer vacation... I have no life, and most others do from what I'm guessing? Lol

 

Hey Chef!

Nope, just work and summer classes for me. I also have no life

 

A little IFS flex video.

 

I never clued in with all your cooking photos and your forum name that you might be a professional chef.

derr






Orange is awesome for a 4x4.

That is a lot of flex! So about how high off the ground did that left tire move?

 

i didnt measure it. maybe next time i bring it back into work again i will. im not sure how accurate it will be. tires in video was around 40 PSI. and at 15 psi, these tires will get alot of flex lol aids in more travel..
as you can see here hehe

 

that'll be sick! professionally? or rattle can?

also chef, i get my transmission on around the 12th so i'll get some pix with my fork lift when I'm done reinstalling it

and my friend at school has a bone stock, bought new off the lot '85 5spd, only rust is in the bed. i'll get some pix with hers too

 

Well now Bruno, if she is even half as cute as you and you guys will be definitely hated on by other girls at school! Lol. Pretty sweet find she has.... And congratz on the transmission!!! Awesome news. That's about the time I should be getting the Ruby R3DRUM Runner back!

 

Had to have some fun with my new lift and tires today. A little muddin and actually got full rear flex

 

can really see the IFS work here



a little three wheel action

 

Sweet vids. I'd like to get some travel like that. I'd never be able to run that setup here in WV tho without some major wide fender flares.

 

Toyo,.... I always love your videos... Excellent creepy crawly technique. That's bound to keep those T 100 CV axles tear free for a lot longer... BUT,...what I really love about that last video is seeing your buddy run back and forth to different windows and such... It's almost like he's spotting for you! Hahaha.
