the last pic? its just the camera, the ground is a little uneven, the gas tank and rad are slanted, and the bed looks to be leaning because the right rear tire is low. it looks bad but its just a funky camera pic. haha

Thumbs up I'm 17 with big plans for my yota to many maybe

I've been doing alot of looking around trying to decide what to do with my 88 single cab short bed for starters I either need to find a new bed or make a flat bed really diggin the bobbed bed look though. Then I want to build an Eco cage I really like what you did with the frame I'll probably steal that idea along with the full size spare lol but I'm runnin 37" iroks after all that probably gonna do a straight axle conversion. Open to any input y'all might have though help me out btw your yoga came out sick bud I really liked it and enjoyed all the pics

front axle has
-new lockright
-recent rebuild
-trussed/gusseted
-5.29s with pinion spacer
-high steer set up for hydro assist
-small front bash skid
-wheel spacers
-longs inner shafts
-longs outer shafts with matching hub gears

rear axle has
-5.29s welded
-trussed and gusseted
-chevy disk brake kit
-funky little skull thing

dual cases have
-4.7 rear gear
-MC adapter
-long superior output shaft
-23 spline

think thats everything but i might be forgetting something, long day but worth it heres some pics


























last weekend i picked up a nice 87 extra cab with frame and motor. the cab is in great shape and is exactly what i was looking for. frame is SOLID and is fs if anyone is interested, already set up for sas can bolt up tg 5inch leafs front and rear.

Got a chance to clean the motor real well today with a pressure washer and then drop it in the truck. Also was able to use the best engine hoist ever.
