Hey guys i have recently fallin in love with truggy style yotas lol

there's something about the flatbed and mean look they have that is making me want to build my 91 22re standard cab like them. I dont want to go all out but im thinking a small flatbed with rollbar, SAS, nice winchbumper, sliders, lockers, cut fenders exc... i basicaly want to see pics of what you guys have and maybe some pro's and cons to this style/ setup?

similar to this guys yota






i really like this one lol
sorry if this is your yota, i just found it on google and i will take it down if you dont want it here lol

anyways what do you think? im going to be DD it too.
my truck is a 91 standard cab,22re, 5spd, 4x4 on 31"s. for now hehe

 

my next crawler project will start life as a 2wd pickup and transform into the truck above

 

haha good idea. i think that think just looks so mean lol

 

kind of what I am thinking too...something about the 2WD frame being better when adding the front spring hanger--doesn't end up as high

There was a 92 X-cab body down here on craigslist that was kind of tempting but I need to finish my Trekker first

 

I built this mild truggy some time back... Went everywhere I pointed it.

 

thats sick ^^^ i figure take the box off while its still nice and save it for a future project and put a sick flatbed on it? i like thr rugged look

 

Thanks.... I ended up adding downbars on the bed, wheeled it for a while and sold it eventually. I have a couple more solid axles sitting in the garage for when I get ready to build the runner up-

Heres the build thread if your curious...

I hope for the day when mine looks like this.

 

sweet im gonna go check out your build

 

nice build flecker flatbed looks killer!

anyone else have some builds, pics, or helpfull tips?

 

I recall being told before that the 2wd ifs frames are the same (or at least the rails have the same contour up front) as the older SFA 4wd frames.

 

i dont know if there the same or not? ether way it will be tall because you still need to clear the oil pan and such right? i want to keep my truck low and cut is the plan

 

Some searching says that the 2wd oil pan is smaller and you actually have greater clearance.

 

2wd is a great rig for starting a buld! Frame is just as high on the front arches as the SFA frames... only bitch is the tranny mounting. The 2wd has a messed up crossmember, makes placement of w56 or g-series w/ transfer case sort of a pain in the butt.

Still a great start! Have seen many start that way... just need some fenders from a 4x or a sawzall

I was thinking about doing a 2.7 taco 2wd build.... but got a new runner to play with, Whitey (it's nickname).

 

That first one looks like the all pro kit. I like the looks of that alot.

Flecker- Nice lookin build. thats a sweet lookin truck. did you end up selling it and starting on the 94 or what?

 

here's a few for you: from the last Rausch Creek run I made. These are not mine!!!!

 

sick yotas^^^ i cant get over this look now. im really digging the first one but it needed some iroks lol

 

hehe, I wheeled with the current owner of that truck. The guy from Utah sold it to a guy from here in socal I kind of sorta know. Wheeled with him a few times..

My truck is in the background :








Oh, And heres my contribution to the thread :

 

Awesome i like em both lol keep em pics and info coming im getting some good ideas
