hi i'm chance little brother of vance164 and i just purchased my first vehicle, a 1982 toyota pickup with a 21ru my plans are to lift the truck and build it into a trail rig / crawler. the first thing i will be doing is replacing the bumper and getting the wiring all squared away.

 

Welcome to yt little man love ya!

 

HAHAHAHA the front bumper reminds me of my 81!

oh welcome to YT man

 

Nice lil truck. Take that 2x12 bumper off!!!

 

thanks man, hope to wheel with you soon

 

its in the work i hope to get rid of it soon!!

 

You bought the truck with the plank on it? or did you put it on? if you put it on, sell it. someone will save that truck from destruction. lmao

 

It came with the plank lol!

 

ya it cam with it lol

 

Let's wheel this sob today!!!

 

Alright so today we started making some progress were going to do RUF. Tonight we got all the front end pulled apart so tomorrow will set the springs in and see how everything looks. The goal for now is to make room for 35's

 

Nice.....You are a real lucky kid Chance, I wish I got to go wheeling and have a modded Yota when I was 14.

 

So I finished the packs today for chance. he couldnt come down because he was at school
What we did was use a rear spring pack out of an 85 and used the 3 main leafs pulled the overload then used two leafs out of a 90 pack we had left over from my dad's SAS
which we cut down 3 inches shorter then the 3rd leaf then 3 inches shorter then the
4th leaf. we got about 3.5 inches of lift and were using the stock hangar sunday I will be picking up an adjustable drag link to correct the steering
so it looked like this with the stock tires

Then we stuck my spre 36 under it

So we realized the fenders needed a little trimming


right now we just need shocks and brake lines and the front will be done and for the time being im going to level it with some 4 inch blocks my buddy has. what do u guys think about removing the overload from the rears?

 

Nice job Vance, it looks like his truck is coming along pretty good, maybe next year Chance can drive with all of us at Brown's in his own truck.

 

Thanks Arron the plan is to have it ready to go by the 4th so we can take it down and he can wheel with us at this trip. I got a set of 4 in lift blocks from a buddy this weekend to level it out.

so now tomorrow I should get the adjustable drag link. and some u bolt for the back and get shocks order so it will be driveable by the end of the week!

 

Welcome Chance. Yep you got a nice project that I'm sure with your families know how will be a great rig.
Hey Vance how goes it?

 

Good Scott just trying to get all the peices to fall into place for chances truck lol. Been more work then actually putting it together. But so far all it's cost has been around 20 bucks. I should have the shocks ordered tomorrow which are only like 15 bucks a Piece at my cost. And then this weekend on my day off I'll mount up some old 35 in boggers we have and slap them on this and hope for the best lol.

 

Well I got my shocks put in today and tomorrow my brother is going to Portland to get me some wheel spacers because the 35's were rubbing on the steering box.

 

So we started to cut the wore out boggers up for chance. I think their looking good especially if u saw them before which I'll get a picture of the next one before we cut it
