[hating]What a piece of crap![/hating]














Looks great, really.

 

Thanks guys, I'm really diggin it so far. I paid $4k for it, it has 140k original miles and the top end of the motor was just rebuilt with a new head. It included all service receipts from the time it was new, and was only driven 8k miles in the last 5 years with the second owner. I waited a long time trying to find just the perfect truck and this was it. The only drawbacks are that it doesn't have a/c (my other broken 87 does though so I am going to do a little swappy swappy), and I am quickly finding out all about how you guys are always talking about how ifs doesn't flex lol. Is there anything I can do to improve the flex? As you can see the front pretty much doesn't even move. I have already removed the front swaybar, but that didn't really seem to do much.

 

yeah im dreaming of buying a first gen. i think i might have found one, needs a lot of cosmetic work. but anyways, sweet ride. got any more details other than just the 35's? motor? tranny? lift? Year?

 

The first 4 pics were taken at the guys house that I bought it from. So the really nice lawn and the cars in the background were his. The next three pics with the ☺☺☺☺ty lawn are mine lol

 

Sorry, guess I wasn't really think about all that. it's a 1987 22re 5spd. The guy I bought it from said it had 6 inches of lift, but I don't know what kind or if it's mixed body/susp or all susp. I haven't really got a chance to do some research and figure it out.

 

lol damn...i was wonderin who bought that one, i saw it on autotrader and was hopin mine would sell in time to get it grr...

 

Well, for one, stay with the stock torsion bars, don't get anything heavier than stock.

Ball Joint Spacers will help. And then I woudl suggest keeping the lower arms almost parallel with the crossmember. Tall and flexy don't usually go together with IFS.

You can get lo profile compression bumpstops, but I'd stay away from the lo profile droop bumpstops.

 

nice truck

*said while wipeing away the drool*

 

very nice!!!

 

i love black 1st gens
