This truck has some promise.. But any reason why you're against the Lincoln locker? Friend of mine runs one and he likes it!
|
I don't like the fact you always engaged so going around turn tears up tires, and makes it difficult to turn. I had a buddy whos jeep was Lincoln locked and got on it in gravel and then went onto pavement snapped a axle shaft didn't realize it for a couple days. can be very dangerous. if its strictly a toy I could understand but I wanna be able to d/d this truck if I have to.

Same with spools I ran one in my big block bronco on 40"s broke many axles mostly on pavement

Welcome to Yotatech and it is looking like you are getting alot of the rust out. I got to go camping in the deserts a couple of times my self. Was at Riley a while back and didnt see many Toyotas up there. Looking forward to your build.

Thanks! And ya there's really not a huge crowd but I don't like to follow the pack that much

I ended up buying my bed from Corey at ToyotaFiberglass.com. The price is steep and may not be worth it to you unless you are doing a full restoration like I am (and obviously have the money). Mine came up to roughly $3,200 shipped. That includes the shortbed, tailgate, tailgate hardware fuel door and mounting hardware. All I should have to do is paint it, install the tail lights and bolt it on. I've heard nothing but good about his products and I know that the longevity will far exceed any restored original steel bed. It does take a while to get a bed from him because he is so backed up with orders, but from my experience so far the guy is really great to do business with - He truly believes in his products. My bed was actually shipped out last week and should be here in a couple days. I plan on posting pictures and a thorough review of the bed upon receiving it so people know just what they are getting - I'm almost certain that it will meet AND exceed all of my expectations. |
Thanks! I look forward to see the bed on your truck when it comes in!!

You can also get bed sides if a full bed is not what your looking for
