I ripped out my 3 inch trail gear springs and added some 18 inch 2.5 sway away air shocks. I also had to put in an rci fuel cell in the bed and unfortunatly my turbo on halloween and I was getting coolant into my oil so I put a new motor in it and it still did the same thing so I ended up changing the turbo and that was the problem the whole time. I also threw a set of 4.7's in my rear case while the motor was out. The links are 2 inch, 1\4 wall DOM with trail gear joint....I have a lot of body roll now but after many different oil and nitrogen combinations Im pretty happy with the ride............

This is how I bought the truck


This is after the build over last winter


And this is during this winters overhaul
My only problem is steering and hub issues. I am welded in the front but Ive driven other welder toyotas and they are very easy to steer. I have perfect steering in 2wd but in 4wd I dont have full cut the the left. I have moved my box forward, changed whole front end and still no better. I dont think I shim my knuckles the correct way. I also have a problem with hubs not unlocking. The only was to get the hub gears out is to have someone cut the steering wheel back and forth while I work them out with 2 screw drivers. I dont know what it is but something is on a bind.

 

 

nice work

 

She so purdy.

 

Nice!!

 

looks killer, i'd like to do that to the rear of mine. but there's something going on with the economy and it has finally reached my level of income. in other words, I'M BROKE!

 

Looks awesome. Can't wait to hear your thoughts on function.

 

Oh man she's a real rock crusher now. Gonna be fun. Looks flexier than my chev 63's

 

Super sweet man that rig is awesome i'd sell my right leg for that setup and gimp into the cab for the rest of my days, after installig a thumb throttle of course LMAO

I am running welded front too steering is sometimes a PITA but not too bad I am installing a 1.5" ram this weekend hoping that will correct it, after you mention left turns while locked up in 4wd that is a weakness in my toy as well.

One of my hubs was sticking in 4wheel drive so I took it apart and greased it up and everything started to work again. maybe one of your hubs as a fracture? and its binding up

 

Sounds like you guys need a twin stick...
