you might have to use a flat pitman arm to get the clearence you need. i think the high steer pitman arm is the same as a stock one.

 

Amazing build Bro!!

 

thats one nice 85 man, really clean, how hard was it to install the twin stick shifter? and what pin did you have to remove?

 

the hardest par to of the twin stick install was removing the t case from the truck. once you have it out its like the most basic thing to do. with trail gears kit they give you instructions with he kit, and it has pictures! super super easy. the pin you remove is the pin the locks the two shift rails together. this allows them to move independently and gives you a 2 low. which i have loved since the day i got it!

 

i have a couple videos that we got when i was in big bear. 2 of my buddys have Toyota's too. so you will see them in one of the videos.

got my black steelies on. these are 15X9 alot better rim size for my future tires, which i fell are going to 33X10.5

 

its been a bit. but I havnt done much. Just added an On board air system, and made the rear bumper an air tank. and new tires. so her are some pics.

 

your onboard air is AWESOME!!! im pretty sure you know that though. ingenious

 

badass build. what length are your front shackles?

 

wow its been a while Guess I should update this Baby.

got some new rear shocks and mounted them

 

awesome build bro. did you make the square drive shaft?

 

yes i did. I made it out of a 2.5 x2.5 inch trailer hitch matrerial and a 2x2x1/4 inside of that. works amazing



I also welded down the length of the slip part. and used a hand file to make it a very tight fit.

greased with wheel barring grease.

 

What size tires are those?

 

33 10.5

 

I saw some of your videos on youtube, then I found your build thread.. pretty cool! I was wondering about a bunch of the specs/components of your truck were! Thanks!

*edit* had to change that last sentence.. must have been half asleep

 

awesome, I hope you liked the videos. let me know what you need, and ill do my best.

 

Sounds good, thank you.. I am locked up at this point with lunch boxes, but was debating the elocker route, or arb route.. Also I need sliders, bumpers, air, and a few other mods you did.. Finally in the contemplation stage of single 4.7 with dual shifter, or duals.. I have 4.88, so would be at like 90:1 with single.. My rig has the same tires, same amount of lift, and I don't want to flip it .. So do you think the 4.7 is a good starting point/mod for the price/time?

Thanks.

 

havn't updated here in a while, so what the heck.


stepped up to 35s
