It still rolls up and down. I think I'll beat it out with my foot. My gf calls it damage I call it character.

 

had an 84 corolla hit a deer at around 80
It's head hit driver side headlight went through radiator
Then went under and wrapped up the driver side control arm busted the oil pan ripped driver suspension off
Flipped out the driver side smashing driver door
Landed on my trunk taking out the lid and driver tail light
Oh yea I bought that car that morning and had spent all day changing fluids wires plugs tires wheels and breaks ha ha ha that's my luck

 

Did that also happen on a Monday? Dayum

 

It was a Saturday in the fall of 95 just after dark and was totally my fault I was only 20 should have been more couscous
Ps the deer was gone a couple hrs later my brother and I returned to the seen with a trailer to get my wreck I just bought and found that someone had taken the deer but left guts and unborn babies yuck next to my new pile of sCRAP
You know that deer was no good after the corolla mangled it

 

are you in your profile pic 83 trail rig??

 

Scored an insane deal last night/today. I bought a 99 Chevy 4.8 v8, 5 speed tranny ecu and harness for 200 bucks. Had 180k miles abd I was able to hear it run today. The guy I bought it from is building a huge 4 door gmc with 1 ton axles. This will be going in my blue 89.

 

Awesome buddy!! I need to stop down and check it all out!!

 

That is a smoking good deal for all of those parts. Now if the weather will stay warm maybe things can start to move for everyone.

 

Wheres the pics of the 63s???

 

Aren't they in your photobucket? Post em.

 

GEEZ easy sleazy...
the kit

 

i was looking for a brake to bend my front hanger i built to convert my IFS to a solid axle. instead, i was given the OK to use the one at work. it is a very dangerous tool but it did the job.

i am doing a similar setup as this low clearance design.



the usual setup is this



which is square tubing to drop the leafs about 2in. the only other debacle i have now is to either put the front rear leaf spring bushings through the frame like stock, or weld on a hanger below the frame.

 

Hey Buddy!


I really like the Idea of the Low Profile hanger. Looks like it would be easy to make especially if you have access to a Brake.

As far at as the rear goes. I would go through the frame with the Tube kit. I am going to order the Jig to use on Richies frame, so we all can use the JIG.

 

Scrollin through your thread, I thougt hey, this guys front end looks like mine! Wait a minuet...

Thats a Sky Hanger, if that helps for you to recreat one. The thing about the low clearance hanger is it it lacks the support the bar gives in the normal hanger. The front of the frame is pretty weak, and you can see mine has been plated. You might want to do the same, especially if you plan on putting a v8 in there.

Go through the frame with shackle bolt. If not it will sit pretty tall and you may have pinion angle problems.

 

that would be awesome. at my "work place" i have access to all kinds of tubing and pipe. if i can get an OD and ID of the tube going through the frame, i can make that myself. then its just a matter of buying the correct bushings.

is that your truck?? i was scrolling through pirate and saw the thread. i was looking for ideas on how to recreate the usual setup, and noticed this new design which appears to be very simple. all mine is, is a 1/4 plate 3in wide that i broke according to the measurements on the thread i was looking at (bolt holes 3 1/8th center to top). ill have kornhusker take a picture and post it next to his.

also, that plate piece is just the front right? that was something i wanted to do to install my bumper but i needed 2in so i used some square tubing instead.

 

Awesome! I will measure that up on the 84 frame that we just stripped.

 

I think I would want it to thru the frame, just to help keep it lower. I like the looks of lifted trucks but if it is a daily driver and having to jump up into it all of the time, that does get troublesome in my opinion. I like looks on everyone elses truck, just not mine. When I was younger, you couldn't have one high enough for me.

 

the correct poly bushings showed up. i think tonight i will get started on installing my chevy 63in springs.

 

Nice!! I want to see how you do that. I might be able to come down tomorrow.

 

do it. did you get the picture message? i made one but i can make more.

ive done a lot of searching around for anything toyota related on a plasma/laser cutter. so far ive found a few things and one thing i just cut today was this

i dont really plan on making a business out of it, but i can make more. if you dont know what this is, this bolts to the back of your t case, and with alittle more metal and fabrication skills, you can remove your factory tcase crossmember and gain some inches of clearence. people even move the tail side higher for more, but this in turn creates a greater angle on the drive shafts.
