So since this project has gotten a little extensive I decided to move my thread

here is how she started 1992 22re Bald 31x10.50 tires and a previously bondoed door that rusted out.. although I did sand the truck and paint it with rustoleum rattle can and got a new door. I have no photos to prove it.

Here it is with the 33 12.50 mud claws I got used a week ago. with the front 2.5 inch bj spacers installed.
so I've got a little frame rust.. as I set up my Jack to raise the rear end to install the 3 inch blocks I busted the spring perch off the frame.

 

Here's a little preparation I got done tonight. small fix fo

r now. tackle the bigger issue later

 

Finished the frame rust repair.. also got the lift kit installed

 

Subscribed. Awesome job

 

Now I'm working On getting the toe fixed.. tie rod sleeves are stuck

 

i got the toe adjusted enough to get it to an alignment shop. I also picked up the new torsion bar bolts from the Toyota dealship $72.00 probably get them installed the next off day I get ..Thursday if I don't have to work!

 

Good looking truck you got, nice work on the rust repair!

 

thanks man! its still a work in progress. just got a quote from a guy in Candler,NC for some 4:88 gears . that's the next project .you've got some nice rides yourself!

 

I also wanted to add for anyone who is considering balljoint spacers. I installed mine and torqued them to my likeing, afterwards I heard several pops. the bolts that came with the kit sheared off and broke. I went to lowes and bought 8 5/16 grade 8 bolts to replace them with. I also think it is terrible such parts would come with terrible mounting hardware.

 

Anyone reading this let me know of you have any bumpers or know anyone who has a bumper to fit this truck of mine. I don't want anything real bulky. thanks again!
!

 

If that guy in candler is the same one i visited he had lots of stuff, family reminded me of deliverance though.

 

Haha good stuff

 

So I went for an alignment today. all 4 cam bolts are seized. my idler and pitman arms are bad.. on a good note...the ball joints are good.

 

So as I was saying I got a price on 4:88 gears. $350 for the rear third and 250. for the whole front assembly. is that a good deal or is it shady?

 

Great job on the frame repair. Truck looks good. In my area, differentials go for $250 a piece for 4.88 at the boneyard.

 

Also I know these diffs are tight. what kind of locker can I install for a reasonable price?

 

I have never installed a locker or even used one, maybe someone can help you with that here in a little bit.

 

Playing around a little today

 

And I think I have a transmission leaking

 

So I got a lot accomplished today.

installed New idler arm. pitman arm and a new rear wheel cylinder that was leaking. Also got this baby out of there...y'all reckon this axle was a little warm?
