Nice man, did you get the RTT from north shore off-road?
Must be fun working on a brand new truck, I liked the black accent on the tailgate and the flood lights in the front bumper.
Looking good @advancefab! What years? Did you rebuild the whole frame on the first gen or just the back?
Always funny to see places deal with snow and ice that aren’t used it. Awesome stuff, it’s a real shame about the hubcaps on the Stout pickup though.
Man I’ve always wanted to build one of those
- Some Por15 goodness, in my opinion POR15 is the best rust paint for anything chassis related. I will do my tube bumpers too in the spring.
But damn is it ever expensive. I saw it on partsource today and decided I shouldn’t cheap out, almost 80 bucks with tax. It does go along way though. I’ll probably do my axles, bumpers, high steer kit and steering box, and my whole frame and plow frame on my superduty.
Sandblasted as best I could
Hanging out with my heaters
Hey Finn! The last few posts are real time! Just trying to plug away at it while work is slow and the weather is decent!
got the rear axle welded up, just have to paint it on a nice day, sandblast the backing plates, re seal it and throw the third back in.
Cleaned up my IFS width rear axle. Decided to weld the shock mounts on the back of the axle and box them in to get full travel out of my shocks. Had some plate that was thick enough for armor and but not too thick that I couldn’t bend it. So I welded up diff armor too.
Usually toyotas are so overbuilt, it’s odd to see that kind of play in the spider gears.
I’m not sure I’ll be much help
I really did like that truck, any idea where it ended up?
Sometimes I think I should have bought it, I remember considering it when you had it up for sale. It was 22re swapped right?
Jason did you have that black 81 pickup?
Good tip Noey! I noticed that with a few Jks on that obstacle, you got to heat em up
You have a 4:1 case and 38s? How did you feel about crawling those obstacles with that ratio? Could you use a lower gear?
