sc87yota

Haha, some people tell me they hear it way before they see it... We have to meet up one of these days.... There are a lot of sweet yotas in SC, I dont even know what your rig looks like. Sorry about the ARB, I just couldnt part with it. Hopefully this project will be done sooner than later...
Here's a teaser. Very nervous about torching through the frame. Attempting this in my spare time, so Im sure it will be on jack stands for a bit

_RaStA_RoCkEt_

Ya the body damage sucks. I want to fix it real bad but its pretty much last on the long list.
Hope to have this dirty girl back on the road soon.

digitaldisciple

Truth.

:UPDATE:
Well... Ive been working non-stop for the last week, I even called sick one day Got a lot done but still a lot more to do....
I unload trailers in the morning for UPS and see first hand how packages get treated. I decided to drive 3 hours to Fresno and pick the kit up myself.







I put the frame tubes in crooked the first time So I drilled them out and spend some more time to make sure the were straight as I could get them.









I think my shackle angle came out alright. In this pic the rear is sitting a lot lower than the front. When sitting level shackle angle looks pretty good.

I could not bring myself to sell the ARB. So after a lot of thought and measuring I started cutting.






I dont think I will have to move my steering box but will most likely need a shorter or straight pitman arm.
I honestly did not think it was going to be this high! I have 2" coils in the rear currently and it looks like the rear is stock. I will start gathering parts to do a rear leaf swap, not sure right now what to go with...

SCToy

Nice! I'll have to keep an eye out for your rig around town.

sc87yota

Hopefully sooner than later.....

ToyoTech559

wow looks good. nice to see you kept the arb bumper. i would have too haha. if you were in fresno yesterday. you could have gone wheeling with us.

vang_22re

Looking good. Should grab something to drink net time your in fresno

sc87yota

I was in Fresno two Fridays ago but thanks for the invites! The drive was long and hot! but well worth it knowing my parts did not get thrown around and run over by UPS trucks.

vang_22re

It's time to throw those 33s back on. Did you go with the trail gear 3 inch kit?

sc87yota

Ya 3" TG kit. I sold the 33's to fund the swap I wanna do the rear leafs... I think Im leaning on installing 63" chevys, maybe. Then I hope to purchase new tires, ahhhh $$$$! Just gotta keep workin'...
I've been leaving it sit flexed like this for a couple hours a side in hopes to help the springs settle quicker. It is really tall.

vang_22re

Just build your own pack for the front. Sale those spring and put it twords the new tire. Just a suggestion haha
