Little Red 85 Build

[Silverback]

Here is a little truck pron for you 4runner guys

I'm going to need a cold shower. Specs?

 

[Silverback]

I went and saw Dale yesterday and this is what he had started

I apologise for the cameraphone pics

63's mocked up

rear shot

Man that is coming along nicely! Giving me inspiration to go do some "real" work on mine.

Thanks Sean. Get on it

My IFS rear is in the shop and should be bolted on today or tomorrow after the the rear spring mounts are pushed up a bit and burned in. They are just tacked in the stock location for right now thats why the shackle angle is so shitty. The thing I am most pleased with (so far) is the care that was taken cutting the old spring mounts out with out notching the frame along with loosing the push/pull steering.

The Specs:

D60 Front, 14 Bolt Rear, 22RE Auto w/ built Inchworm Duals, 39" IROCS on H1 Beadlocks, 4xInno cage, Hydraulic acuated slider on drivers side...

Shannon's (Toyminator) on TTORA new ride. Really nice build.....

makes me want to rethink my decision NOT to go the 14/60 combo. Looks awesome! So the slider lowers to allow it to act like a step??

 

[Boomtacoma01]

That it does. Shannon is kinda short and handicapped so he need a little help getting in.

Im gettinng a set of sliders w/ the kickouts like that as well sans the hydraulic lift

For anyone interested, Dale, the guy doing the work is super reasonable on his pricing.

 

[Silverback]

Very cool with the assist in getting in!

NICE! Love the Wheels!!!

 

[Boomtacoma01]

H1's are the way to go. You can run them down as low as 3-5psi. Thats why i got a set

 

[Boomtacoma01]

I also scored a newer fuel sending unit and pump to try and remedy my gas gauge problem. I like free!

Is Shannon ever gonna get that thing finished?

 

[Boomtacoma01]

It should be done by the end of the month or so.

Some more progress was made this past weekend. The guys worked on it for the past 2 days. I have to leave town tomorrow at 1 to go back to Trinidad for a week. Going to try and swing by to see what was done and snap a couple pics. Front diff has the Detroit installed and is good to go. Just Need a little more time and $

Is this shop what Joe and them refer to as "the ranch"? Just curios as the pics make it look very similar.

Looking forward to more pics, I know that this rig will be a model beast when done.

 

[Boomtacoma01]

Naw its not at the Ranch. This place is in south Houston unofficially known as Dales Shop and soon to be know as SKOR (Skinny Kid Off Road). The Ranch is in Santa Fe, TX about 20 miles from this place. They are pretty much cluttered the same though.

 

[Boomtacoma01]

Well I didnt get a chance to take any pics on Monday before I left town for Trinidad. Going to the shop tomorrow to see the progress. The 63's should be about 90 percent done and the front should be well on its way

 

[yotarob]

Cool, I would love to see some pics of the 63's all finished up.

 

[Boomtacoma01]

Heading there around noon. Pics to come. Ill fin out about that rear qtr panel as well Rob

 

[yotarob]

Its off a 96 Tacoma with the 3.4 Non-ABS. Dual Diaphram and a 1 in bore

I think I have decided that this is what I need.

 

[Boomtacoma01]

Sorry about the lack of pics. My fab guy is MIA and stood me up on Saturday

So who know when I will get some photo evidence of my accomplishments so far

Rob I think that MC will cure your braking probs.
