Nope gonna have a single with 4.7's. That way when I go to duals I'll be ready.

 

Nice, you'll love the low gearing! Best upgrade I've made, I'd say just as helpful as adding a locker!

 

Oh yeah, I can't wait! I gotta do the clutch anyways, just do it all at once!

 

Next time I have to do the clutch I'm gunna go for some 4.7's in the rear

I picked up a pair of Nissan hard body leaf springs (they are the same width as toyota) and am gunna make a Nissan/Toyota bastard leafspring pack to try and give myself some more load capacity in the bed with as little lift as possible. I think I'm just gunna throw the top leaf cut short in the toyota pack and see how that does. It may not happen here for a while since I'm getting ready for the national swimming championships but hopefully in about two weeks it'll be done

 

Made a battery tie down since the stock mount doesn't work with the Optima battery..

 

WOW! That looks great. I am close to buying the same battery and I just might borrow that mod from you

 

Thanks, go for it it was easy to make just make sure your measurements are on, and I forgot to mention, I have a bunch of rubber sheet kinda stuff layin around so I super glued one big piece of rubber on the under side and cut along the edges to keep from the metal to plastic contact

 

Your truck is sick looking and is giving me a lot of ideas on a direction to go. First thing first with mine get it running again.

 

What is the optima sitting on? And did you ever get your winch bolt lock box mounted?

 

The stock battery tray. And I did get the bolt lock installed, and I'm actually selling them too if you're interested in one?

Here's one I made for Yopar on here:




And here's mine (the prototype) installed on my bumper:

 

Nice battery hold down. Need to make one of those in the next week.

So let me get this straight..
One of the nuts for the winch bolts is in there. And then you lock that. So in essence the person would have to get into there to unbolt the winch?

 

Thanks, and yep you got it.

 

Ok, I wasn't sure if Optimas could fit or not. I am interested in one, does it have to be that deep? I'm also interested in a battery hold down and IFS truss if you're interested in fabbing those up?

 

Nice truck! have fun with that thing.

 

You have a pm

Thanks man! I do

 

Did you get the Dave's?

 

Not yet, It was supposed to be shipped a while ago, but he said he was having trouble finding a toyota pickup without a body lift to test fit it on before shipping it...hopefully it gets here within a few days.

 

epic build.

 

Really nice to see somebody having fun with their ifs and not complaining about needing a solid axle.Looks like your a good driver, and you've built you rig well.Keep up the good work. I'm working on trading my accord for a silver 89 4x4, it's built on ifs I'll post some pictures if I end up getting the little beast.
