As I have mentoned in a couple posts, I am new to building rods, and things that go fast. I have helped with a few buddies projects but this willl be my first custom street rig.
So, I thought I woul dthrow a few pics of what has been in and outa my shop in the last few (and more) years.
Besides my work junk (I am a landscaper)
I have a mid 80's (its such a mutt I dont even know anymore, titled as an 86) Toyota PU
from from to back, the list reads
38.5 swamper SX's on DIY beadlocked wheels, with 1.5in wheel spacers
12.5K hydro mile marker winch
hydro assist stearing, hysteer using chevy 1ton stuff
locker in the front
chromo axels and CV shafts
toyota 22re engine, .30 over with cam and forged pisons. a whoping 135hp
F/R 1/4in wall driveshafts
Dual T-cases (soon to have a 4.7:1 kit should bring me down to over 120:1 final drive ratio)
spooled rear
disk breaks all around
Full cage
Gumby co-pilot
72 Land crusier FJ40 factory soft top model (this ones hers)
Its also a bit further along than what it apears inthe pics but seeing as how my camera is among the missing....
Frame up build,
3/16in (yea thats right) body tub, 1/8in floor, almost no sheet metal left.
2.5in BDS susp lift
33X12.5 in tires flat centerline mags
galvinized frame, soon to be painted 'surf blue' Vortexed tub, and other misc pieces
full cage (some day)
stock engine, did a 4spd swap to get a better gear range, with an older tcase for added low rage gear :smokin:
I want to have it done for the summer to cruze the beach, so it wont have a full top for a while, but it will be running and driving.
