my 84 toyota has faithfully served me on and off road for the last three years, i have mildly upgraded it during the time ive had it and now that i have a second truck to drive it is time to get serious...well at least as serious as i can on a very very tight budget

 

just got finished playing with the right angle grinder, can prove to be very useful in creating trail doors

 

and all new for 1984, truck comes complete with 8hp trolling motor!!!

 

going to go get the new timing chain and kit tomorrow cant wait to finally get it running right

 

fun in laramie wy

 

We oughtta get out and do some wheelin. I like that flex pic!

 

Was this truck blue and had a stack in the bed? If it is....I sold you the webber carb. My trucks on the road again so we should get together and do some wheeling..drag your buddy with the jeep along.

yea it is the same toyota and i am still running that same weber carb you sold me, its doin pretty well especially since i added 36X12.50 tires to it, the stack is gone, it rusted out unfortunately, and the beds startin to rust out pretty good so its time to go flat bed but, yea i havent been wheelin in awhile too much work and not enough free time unfortunatly but lemme know when your headed out and ill do the same and well figure somethin out

 

i just bought a set of used 36x12.50s for the old toyota, and installed v6 bearings in the third member along with a crush collar eliminator kit, shes finally back on the road after 4 weeks of waiting

We got alot done to the Ol 84 this weekend. We had tons of projects goin on at once, so the pics might seem out of order.
The beginning

Pullin the t case mount for dual cases

Front tires pulled to drop the axle

Starting to pull the case apart for the duals
Got intox'd and forgot to take some pics, but worked all the way to sunrise and the rest of the day (no sleep for the hardcore)

Duals done

Cuttin the overloads off the rear packs to prep them for the front


Duals goin in

The 35s

RUFs in

Manual box out

Custom hi steer arms



And gusseted hi steer arms



Final stance as of this morning


It still needs a few things but its alot better than before. Al is super happy.
There are some pics that I didnt get. Like: shock tower relocation, IFS box swap, crossover steering, sortened d shaft, custom t case crossmember and some other stuff I'm sure.

 

Just got a ton of stuff done to the old girl today will be posting pics ASAP but the quick rundown is another motor....efi this time with got propane's efi kit, mocked up the beginnings of the front bumper and winch mount, zoomie exhaust. Still to come 63" Chevy springs in rear, t-case mount, rebuild front axle and final location and mounting of all propane accessories

 

Hell yeah man! Welcome back. I can't wait to check it out this weekend

 

Now when you do ruf's does it kick the front axle forward at all from stock? if so about how much?

 

It does kick it forward roughly 2.5 inches
