Thread: From 1994 Gardener Yota to Dethyota

only problem i see you running into is the front bumper being in the way when you drop the front down to the body mounts... obviously it will need to be modified or chopped completely off

I will be getting a new bumper fabbed and I am selling my old bumpers to a friend.

Body lift has been removed! Truck looks so much better!

looks good man..

Thanks man! The kit has been doing great. Someday here soon I'll be drilling through the spindles for the steering. I've had a few people comment now that my tires wear incredibly even for a long travel a-arm truck!

surprisingly ive never had a tire wear issue on my yota. My ranger on the other hand.....

Love the signals lol.... I put mine in the marker lamps. Easy and cost less than $20 and way clean.

That's funny Dave! I actually bought the sockets needed to do 1157 bulbs in my corners. Ended up being $25

84prerunner: Ive had 3 seperate people now stare at my tires and say how well they wear. I never knew there was an issue with a-arm trucks!

I used 194 sockets (81-87 GM truck marker pigtail) and bought some amber 4 led lamps for mine. Glad you saw thee error of your ways lol When I got my truck the previous owner had some "universal" motorcycle (WTF??!!) turn signals bolted to the lower core support which looked WAY gay thats why I thought your pic was funny it reminded me of mine when I first got it lol.

I put my blinkers in my marker lamps. Just cut the wires on each an connected the blinker wire to the marker lamp socket. No money an no problem.

Trucks looks good.

I want it to be lit up when the running lights are on then BRIGHT when I hit the blinker. Thats why I went with the 1157.

Ya The brightness is why I went with the LED's after seeing the standard 194's in mine I wasn't too impressed with the output. Yours are probably brighter than mine I'm guessing? If I smash mine up I may go for a bigger lamp next time. lol I have some LED back up lamps in mine now that are WAY brighter a good upgrade I'd recommend and I posted pics here:

I got lazy and just did that ^

Turned out good. Blinkers go faster than a rabbit but i like it. I knew the resistance change was going to change the speed

put an inline resistor on it.

That would be the right way to do it. It honestly doesnt bug me enough to put the resistor in though

yeah i hear you. right now when i drive it i roll around without front turn signals anyways (lost both housings lol) so mine blink fast too. oh wellllll

two links i got ideas from before i moved mine to my corner lights. i ended up doing the yotatch one.

Brand new bumper!!! I would like to thank Bro-Dozer for this awesome work of art. I will be placing 2 Hella 4000's on either side of the Toyota emblem. It is welded to my suspension sub-frame but has tube-clamps in case I need to remove the sub-frame for repairs etc.




Can you spot the tube clamp?

Nice that looks waaay better! Tube clamp is a good idea too! I run two 4k's on the front of mine too 70 watt 5K HID..WAAAY bright. What lenses are you planning on getting?

bumper looks good!

Thanks guys. Getting the hellas from a buddy so I'm not sure

Well if they aren't what you want you can buy new lenses... I had to for mine they were like $21 each online.

man...that looks sweeet. Im gonna have to set up something with this guy to build me one for the same type of truck.

The hellas are red ring halogens. I will keep the lenses in mind. I can order them at work

Money has been tight so I have tried to do little things to keep me busy. Primered fenders, painted bumper, blinkers in corners

Sweet truck man! If your buddies able to get tires I have 6 33 10.5s I can slide your way. Just say'n haha


-Mike

Ha! I will keep on Elias then! I just had a guy come in today that had a similar setup with 33's on his truck.

I am actually trading up to brand new 31" Goodyear Duratracs after less than 2 days of having the BFG's

Today I received a nice shipment of my new Moog center-link and inner tie rods to get everything back to a safe standard again. Back to the desert!

I tried one of those, lasted about 6 months haha. Hopefully you have a little better luck.

I want to buy one of your centerlinks but I just need to get my truck fixed before it falls apart. Gotta save money for my Vegas trip first weekend of June! If my stock centerlink is not bent I will be sending it to you asap
