New Toyota

so skipped Uwharrie today and bought a new rig



towed it home on the 4runner. Now its in my driveway waiting on a delivery from trail gear.

Nice!!! Looks to be in great condition. What deliveries are you waiting on?

hi-steer kit for now...

it is in really good condition. No rust anywhere but It is going to need a transmission soon it has a bearing grinding and the shifter is terribly sloppy.

The best new about it is I have a clean title and its street legal.

Looks pretty sweet Chad! I love the Punisher hood decal!!

Very nice....details?

82 Toyota clean frame, 84 drivetrain no rust anywhere.

Plan to have it wheelable for July 4th weekend at Callalante.

Ordered hi-steer from trail gear, going thursday to scoop me up yet another toyota IFS steering box and some 63" chevy springs and possibly another set of rear springs from another toyota.

By the 4th I am hoping to have the rear springs on teh front, the front axle moved 2" forward, crossover steering, a welded rear diff, and an elocker in the front axle.

Very very nice!!! Well done!!!

just added 2" wheel spacers to my order... gonna need those to keep tires out of the body.

I really want to sit low on 38 or 40" tires.

And the parts begin to arrive

Hell yeah it is! I am in my cave as we speak.....Leather furniture, beer signs, fridge, HD Plasma, Mica lighting.....I know, I know....LOL

I hate you both. My man cave consists of an 8x12 or so shed that contains nothing more than my tools, lawnmower, weed wacker and a a few hung pictures. OH, but there ARE multicolored xmas lights that I strung up!!!!! lol. One day, one day...

my man cave also extends through 2 2 car garages where the house had a one car garage and was added on to and recieved a second two car garage in line. More of a double deep two car garage

So jealous.

and more parts are added to the pile

wheel spacers on... such a difference in looks.



my tow rig is hiding in the background

She really does have a nice "stance" with those spacers, gonna be a nice rig when you get done!

hoping to get the steering worked out at the end of this coming week.

Suspension will be done if all goes well by the end of July.
Should be buying gears and lockers for it around the start of august and be wheelable by septemeber.

the punisher on the hoods is what does it for me.

You know, that sounds like a nice hiding place to down a beer or 2.....especially late fall, when temps are cool.....love hanging out in the shed or garage.....

I store my home-brew in the shed in the winter for that very reason.

Good idea! I think my space is a little too small.... Ill see what I can come up with.

all it takes to brew is a 5 gallon bucket......the possibilities and enjoyment are endless
