A buddy of mine gave me a frame and cab
Now I'm building it

 

Whats the plans?? I wish i got free stuff like that.

 

I'll pay him eventually, right now it's getting rufs, 63s Yota axles then we'll build a 22r for it and put it on 34 but I will be able to clear a 40"!

 

Got the shackles and rear axle mocked in place rear is sitting about how it will be at ride height

 

Nice friend you have giving you that stuff.

 

Progress, front end mounted up i think I'm going to change my front leafs a little

 

Making some great progress. Looking good.

 

Haven't posted in a while, got some doors and painted her black, I think I'm going to paint her OD green. But I'm gearing up to start building the motor and get it out on the trail thinking about rewiring the entire thing but I'm still not decided. Any feed back is good, give me y'all's options.

 

Starting to look like a truck again. As far as rewiring it, if it is all hacked up, I created a thread https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f116...4-88-a-278925/ that hopefully will have information on how to go about it. Good for showing what all needs to come off and how to go about it. If staying with a carburator, I would go with a Webber.

 

That thread should come in handy, me and a buddy are putting a 22re in a 83 first gen, I plan on using my weber and I don't want any smog stuff, and as few vacuum line as possible hoping to have as little extras on the engine as possible, as for the wiring I seem to be constantly messing with other peoples 2nd gens wiring and kinda like the idea of knowing the wire harnnes's to the t which would be easy if I built it.

 

Like how it's coming along. Love the idea of a cab and frame. Able to build your way instead of fixing others screw ups

 

Yeah it's defiantly an experience and I've learned through this project so far, it's the only way to go

 

Looks good man.

 

Started putting my motor together and got some new wheels and tires

 

nice work so far, look forward to seeing some more pics!

 

Cab and a frame.. Great place to start! build pics look awesome! keep em coming! But you definitely need bigger tires.

 

Thanks it's getting close I can't wait to hit a trail with it, it clears 35's by a lot I want 40's but can't afford gears or tires right now

 

UPDATE!!!👍👍👌👈
Got my rods done, now I can start bolting my motor together finally, got a bed for her (pics soon) it's a 3rd gen bed but it'll do for now, got some 38" swampers too things are coming together slowly but surely

 

Update she still wants a bigger tire
