High Desert.... where is 'the hammer'? I spend LOTS of time in many of the high deserts, just shamed I guess that I don't know what that is! hahaha. Red Rock? Apple Valley-Adjacent? Yadda yadda, haha.

PS> WELCOME TO YOTATECH!

 

Thanks thats what im going for...i dont like NEW cars/trucks...unless someones got a bently they wanna trade =P

good deal man, thats exactly what i did. tons in info on yota n pirate

Working on it chef =D...u could always drive down the hill n give me a hand! j/k lol Im almost done, picked up the IFS rear off a '90 last weekend n ill b working on it with some pics this weekend.

 

So i got a little more done...finally.

Ifs rear off a 90' p/u








Installed

 

Chef I live in Apple Valley right next to were king of the hammers is e every year.

 

SoCal I like the new rear end and the rock guard on it did you cut your plug out of the bottom or leave it in? It looks great what do you have in mind for shocks?

 

Dude, I would ALWAYS come to help any Yotatech Brother who needs it, granting I can find the time. You lemme know if you have 2 man thing, even if it's just for a short period, I'll do my best to make time to be there, honest

Looking good.......and the 90IFS rear is cuz..... it's wider, right? Ok, maybe I smiled like I deserve a Gold Star from the SAS teacher too soon... but tell me anyhow! hahaha.

 

Thanks! I left the plug in...if it screws me up i should have chose a better line =P
And for the shocks im going to run 12" kings smoothies just like the front. Gonna probably run some hoops thru the bed for em.

Yes Sir! you are correct...86-95 P/U & 4runners have a 58" WB instead of the 85's 55". Theres my 3" to match the front 1.5" wheelspacers.

Thanks for the support! I think i can almost see the light at the end of the tunnel now =D. Ill hit u up if i really need a hand but hopefully we can get on some trails instead of work on it. almost done

 

The later axles have beefier brakes too. The 84-85 'Runners are pretty under-braked both front and rear in the factory config.

 

Nice build! everything looks nice and clean

 

Looks great just about to start on an 85 runner buying parts love the yotas

 

been super busy period. Still getting work done as i can tho..

Painted tank, axle and getting brakes lines ready to go







New fuel pump n fuel filter and all fuel/oil leaks fixed




PS hooked up and bled. cooler installed




Frame plated, hoops mocked up, burned in and gusseted.

 

The bump cans are just tacked on for placement...they will be gusseted very well when the time comes to burn them on.

 

WOW, those are sexy! HAHA... Nice work, as usual, SoCal!

 

Thanks. I agree... I hope they feel as good as they look. Cant wait to get this thing out of the driveway and onto some trails.

 

Well i bit the bullet and bought a warn for the runner... 9.5 CTI-S



If you are considering buying a warn winch i would find the best price u can and then talk to Tom @ warnfactoryoutlet.com. He will beat the best price u can find elsewhere or plain out give you the fairest price that he can plus shipping is free. Super happy with the deal he gave me. I will continue to shop there for more accessories.

 

nice winch ya got there

 

playing with the bender..

 

And Jess made some sexy .188 wall shafts =D


So the bilstein bumps i got were leaking all over the place so they where replaced by fox =D

 

Nice Winch! NICE D-SHAFTS! NIIIIIIIIIICE BENDINGGGGGGG..... "Bender" would be impressed! hahaha. Looking SICK! Oh, and the Fox Stuff's? WOW, that is some nice, rebuild-able, quality stuff! Lots of guys who get AIRBORNE trust it all the way! haha.

 

Thanks Chef, When u want to make some bumpers, sliders, whatever bring the rig down n lets make it happen. I just plugged some numbers into bend-tech pro n wha-la...my first bend. kinda creepy how it came out just how i wanted(that never happens..lol)
