good luck.

 

How much sheet metal was cut? um...... Alot! I like to refer to it as 2 drunk hillbillies and a sawzall. And...... guys please don't freakout on me ( remember i bought the truck i didn't build it ) theres a ( custom made ) 9 inch body lift. Like i said its pretty crazy, for now i'm just trying to get it back to streetable so i have a good winter rig, especially since its getting new headgaskets as we speak, yay! welcome to the 3vze club right?

 

9 INCH BODY LIFT?! Holy crap! Do you have any pictures?!

 

Thanks for all the input guys, i really appreciate it. I'll post some pics as soon as it comes back from the headgasket surgery ( if my mechanic figures out why its running rough with no power, after the gaskets). So now for my next question anybody wanna buy ( or tade for ) some 38.5 gumbo mudders ?? !! SERIOUSLY

 

I'll post some soon. sorry it sounds like i made you spit out your beer! Believe me i was shocked too especially since it was made from plumbing pipe.

 

..what made you buy that? Did you not even look at it first? I want to know how they made that work, with the steering column extension needed, and what about the shifter??? 9 inches longer with your whole floor cut out? haha I want pics real bad now

 

*facepalm*
Dying to see this thing.

 

Yeehaw!

 

Well i needed a truck for winter and it was Cheap, of course i looked at it,its not like its a katrina vehicle or was in a fire. A nomal body lift, a few mods, a little tinkering and i should be all good. Its a limited w/ leather seats freezing a/c full power sunroof cd and a brand new 10,000 lb winch, most importantly though is that I like the truck and judging by all your guys mileage it should last me a LONG TIME.

 

well first off a 9 inch body lift i seriously doubt is even legal to be on the road, most states your only allowed to have 4 inch at the most. first thing, sell your 38's if they are in even ok shape should bring at least a few hundred bucks witch you can get some used 33's drop the 9 inch body lift and then start replacing all of your worn suspension components, there is hope to save this yota yet. oh and im dieing to see a pic of this truck

 

omg...

if this is for real, you MUCH post pics of this...






the scarysteering site needs some more media

 

Dude, I need to see pics of this yota attacked by 2 hillbillies with a sawzall.....!!!!!!!!!

 

i gotta see pics too haha

 

Cant wait to get the feedback from these......
The one next to the vette is for comparison

 

What the hell is that thing on the front of it? Supposed to be a bumper.

Yep, it has a heck of a body lift on it for sure.

 

Yeah, i guess its a prerunner style, haha. They made it from fencepost ( probably for strength j/k ). I took that off already. The winch is brand new though

 

im telling ya! try balancing them, even just a little. it worked wonders for me. i had the same situation, couldnt go above 35. balanced them alittle and the problem went away

 

Yeah, i'm gonna try. Its gonna be rough finding somebody to do it though, we'll see. I also found a local guy who is probably willing to trade me 35 inch all terrains ( bfg knockoffs ), may just do that.

 

wow this just brings to mind mind that bill engval skit " things that make you go "

 

That poor ifs
From the trim job it looks like you could completely remove the body lift and run 33-35 in tires with out rubbing.
If you like the tires and have money you could look into a sas. The straight axle will hold up better.
