Looks good, but hope you have a tow rig or an underdrive cuz 3.0 + 4.5 + 40's = SUPER DOG.
What did you do with the gas tank? |

What did you do with the gas tank? I have a toyota to dana 300 doubler sitting on the garage floor that still needs to be installed. I went this route cause I found the whole set up allready put together and it was never installed! This aliveaites having to track down the transfer cases after purchasing an adapter. There is also the ability to add low range gears later and I won't need to have drive lines that are half yota half american style U-joints. The previous owner did a real bang up job on this rig, he had already moved the tank to the rear of the vehicial. I thought this was how yota made them because this is my first yota, I figured that he had just moved it up a bit for clearance. I later discovered that the rear mounted tank in not stock! the guy before me also was kind enought to weld the gas tank it's self right to the frame! I had already filled the tank previously to getting it into the garage and disassembling it so removing it was no longer an option I wanted to take. There where plans to put leaf springs all the way around but the fuel tank was in the way to do so in the rear. Ill get some more pics of the tank so you can see for your self! |
Here is a picks of how the tank is currently mounted and

I'd suggest installing one heck of a skid plat under your tank ASAP. That factory model is next to useless and every dent and bang to your tank will reduce the capacity... or worse, put a hole in it.
Unfortunately, I don't think welding a gas tank to your frame was the best mod your previous owner could have done. Good idea with the new position, poor implementation. I am digging the 60's though. Looks fierce!! :banger: |
As it sits I have 28"s of clearance under the tank. I had much less in the built full size blazer I just sold and I really dident have any problems with it. I will be doing something about beffing it up later.
Here is a few more specs, just for geewizz. Wheel base/ ended up being pushed out to 108.5", I was shooting for 107 not sure what happend? Front axle I know for sure is sitting 2.5" foward from stock. Im guessing the rear moved back about 2" from stock. Frame height/ 29" Axle width/ Full size (68"s) with my USA 6x6 bead locks with 5" back spacing im sitting 80" for a total width with wheel and tires on the axle. 4 link/ I ended up making the links 40"s, with an ajustable johnny joint at 1end for addational ajustment. |
One of the meanest looking Toys I've ever seen. Fantastic work.

Very nice runner. Do the 40s clear your leafs and what BS are you running on the usa locks? |

Very nice runner. Do the 40s clear your leafs and what BS are you running on the usa locks? The back spacing on the wheels is 5" and I have no issues with the tires contacting the springs, Lots of room. I used Sky's manufacturing full with SAS kit for the front. |
Update! The doubler is now in, just need to find a transfer case mount so I can bolt everything up to the crossmember. Of corse I need to get some shifters in there too. I guess I should have taken some pic's of it in the rig but here are a few of everything being put together, for the last time.

But if your looking for the adapter to put a GM master cylinder on your yota for some better braking they have a really nice peice! http://new.photos.yahoo.com/smashmet...04381069367/99 |

Im still building! only thing left untill it's trail worthy is drive lines, mounting shocks, running brake lines and fluids.

Holy jungle-gym 14 bolt! Hey, seriously, that runner is comming along great. Thanks for the update.

I got a deal on some Trail Gear 12" front shock hoops but they where a little short for my 14" bilstiens. So I had to add a bit of length and spruce things up a bit.
