My yota build

Looks ruff , but the frame is solid , runs and allready solid axle coverted . I have a good bed and doors , so just a little rocker work and the body will be solid as well . i allso all ready have the springs front and rear end . So now i have a rig to put togiether for next season ! And there was no cash out of pocket , i love trading !

So got it home , doesn't look like much but that's OK . I'm only keeping the cab 85% of the frame the engine tranny and t-case and the Solid front axle ! Now the fun starts , time to build my truck ! -Screw-

So got started , BFH 'd the frame its solid , started stripping it down so i can start the fun stuff ! Hope fully tomorrow i can get the new rear suspension in it !

Ok , so here is a pic of the winch a bought for $ 150 bucks !!


So started working on the truck again today . Finished up fixing the rust on the inner fender , kinda were the inner meets the radiator support . Are welder is broke and is stuck on high wire speed and the heat range knob is erratic at best ! But i did what i could ,and then under coated both inner fender Wells !
Ya , allso put the little street tires on !






Moved the ECM as well , this way it will not be so close to the floor . I'm going to get one of those organizers that you put over your visor , and glue it into the glove box to put my reg. in and what not .

Finished the rear today , got the shackles set in place - the rear mounts are just tack welded , still waiting for the 6 inch shackles the ones in the photos are 5.5 inch shackles so they will be a little straighter when the 6s arrive !
Also got the parts truck ready to roll !!!!!!!!!!!
These first pics are before i set the shackles up the correct shackle angel pics are a few pics down !!!!!




Removed a couple leafs the packs were to stiff




got my high steer today Cant wait to do the front !!!

did some more work on the truck today ! Started with parting out the parts truck . Didn'T turn out to be that good of a parts truck , some of the stuff wasn't any good - like the rear end that i needed . But it was free so , got a good deal on the stuff i did use :sm_laughing:


One thing i did need was the power steering box ! So started by removing the push pull box that was on my rig when i got it . Then i put the p/s box off the parts truck . Now i can put on the high steer !:sm_excited: Cut off some of the not needed old brackets on the front housing and put on the high steer . This is very cool ! This is the first time I've had steering in this truck . That will make it easier to move around now . :sm_laughing:

OLD BOX


Frame ready for new box


New box in the pile of parts :sm_laughing:


New box in , sorry about the pic .


Gotta love high steer !!!

got some more done on the truck this weekend ! Shortened up the frame rails and added my reciever as part of my rear cross member .


Happy that my welding is getting better !!!


Decided to weld in some extra supports on the inside of the frame rails to the hitch .




cleaned up the whole rear frame clip when i was done and put it in paint !!
