found 3" blocks on craigslist for 20 bucks.... i pick them up tomorrow...



(yes i know the blue truck should be the least of my worries right now but whatever, 20 bucks to lower it and it'll look much better)

 

blocks? ick. I cant stand blocks!! Why not just save up and do it right?

 

nice tofer
give us some pics of the final outcome.

btw-how much was the total cost of your paintjob? I'm currently in the process of repainting mine and I'm only $8 into it. Hope the outcome will be as good

 

Hey Chris:
I am gonna try to replace my rear springs next week, if you want the 4" blocks I am taking out you can have'em, even throw in the u bolts that are probably gonna break when I grind them off.
Seriously though post up some pictures when you get them on...

 

I had a new 94 toyota 2wd lowered on 5 inches of blocks it was low and always got it sideways in 2nd gear and didn't have any trouble with them. they turned a little and hit the u-bolt. but they were locked in then

 

the front needs to come down another 1/2" to an inch.


found some spraypaint and did the wheels too.

 

sweet 2wd rides, nice to see em out and about, here is mine that i just parted out, (got hit and totald from a lil dent in the cab)
i got er cause i wanted a truck to haul my quad and i put air shocks on the rear so its sittn damn near what it would unloaded, cept the front, the top of the tire was equal with the fender, rubbed when i was turning, got dirty fast needed 4wd fenders......im gona have a nicer one someday...this one had lowered torsion bars and 3" block in rear

 

Here is My 2wd (1982 w/ 338,000 miles)


Its overall a nice truck, currently I'm painting it, rust-oleum royal blue. I have some monroe air shocks in the back, very nice for hauling loads.

PS, are you driving the blue truck a lot now?

 

yes. the 4runner is dead, so the blue truck is my only rig right now..

 

I see. I dig the first-gen 2 wheel drives. I hope my paintjob works out as good as yours.
