xzyragon, we should both lower our 2wds! Lets compete, whose is going to be better?

 

I'm in too. I'm a first gen though.

 

lol...awesome, we should start our own thread

 

the lowrida competition, like 3 in 4 thousand on this thread

i was just thinkin... adding a body kit to a stock 2wd would make it look pretty low already

 

Wrong. Body kits are for ricers.

I'm proud of my truck it is stock and lower than all the lowered chevys around here. lol

 

New sig

 

Ugh, I agree with toylocost here. Ferexample, the "S-Runner" they've been running since 2001 would be a Really Neat Pickup if you could option-subtract the friggin' bodywork.

This was one area where I sorta liked the Dodge Dakota R/T over the Taco (except for that whole "Dodge" thing, bleh).

 

You first remove the front torsion bars & bump stops, Then go to the back & remove every leaf spring except for the main one, Then you need to cut the frame above the axle & weld a new section above it to create a step. That will do it!

That's what we used to do when we were young, we would drive along & scrape off the little dots in the road. Now a days I wouldn't consider such a foolish thing!


Seriously though,
I would just crank the torsions a bit & use some blocks in the rear.

 

Dude are you serious!?!? no torsions or bumpstops??? Holy crap you must have had a great dental plan.

EDIT: I love the way your truck looks. Could you post up some big pics? And maybe some pics of your old lowered trucks?

 

lol, I think I'm gunna lower my truck tonight!

Its got these weird springs in the rear and its cranked in the front to the max...here is the springs...

 

Whats with the coil overs? Thats strange where did they come from?

What would be safer? Drop blocks or removing a leaf? I like to drop the clutch and hammer through the grears thats why its still stock I don't wanna break anything. (This thing really is a sleeper lol)

 

Take off the 7" springs the PO installed and replace them with 4" springs. It's working for me.

 

Since were posting pics and I got a new one today. The first one was a while back when I just got the hood and fenders and the second one was today just messin around. I havnt washed it in forever cuz it is an exersize in futility. I live on a dirt road.

 

Nice river crossing!

 

yeah, that river crossing is sweet.

 

lol, yeah I know, I "think" they are from an online off-road shop (can't remember the name!) but they are like $80. I'm taking them off though. I don't know if I have exactly how...do I remove the shock??? LOL

 

oh yeah, nice river crossing! Must've been 12ft deep! You were probably wearing a scuba mask and snorkel

 

Thanks guys! lol. I was spinning the tire in that pic but it was probly the left tire lol.

91Toyota: I think the coil has seats that are threaded on the shock you should be able the unscrew them or get the coil off somehow and just use the shock alone. edit: yeah your gonna have to tke the shock off lol. Its really easy i just put new ones on the back of mine.

I want to drop the back but I have a long bumpy ride to school and I am very hesitant.

 

Holy batman my eyes I was laughing so hard my eyes were watering up so bad!

 

Well, I'm lowered now
