all the "gen 1, 2, and 3" names refer to the "caddy kits"----4wd chassis...........your kit is the "2wd uniball kit" http://www.chaosfab.com/92200.html

Good looking truck, Looks like you need a front bumper but hey all in due time Im sure. Got any more pics of that light bar? Have you started making your tray for the back yet? Are those the f55 rear leafs?

yeah i need a front bumper along with alot of things lol. i can take more pics of the light bar later this week. its mounted to the roof but will be mounted to the cab cage when thats done. i have not started the tray yet minus the plans i sketched up. i have also come up for some plans on a cooler/gas car rack that will bolt to the rear bumper behind the spares that will be pretty trick along with a few other things ive got planned for the bed cage when i get the time to work on them.

not sure what leafs they are..i was told the 62's correct me if im wrong lol. and all everything is at a standstill til i get the other axle in and my wiring sorted out. its a fucking mess. pics to come as work is completed.

any suggestions are appreciated!

**CVP PRERUNNERS** · 06-29-2009, 10:19 PM

the "dumbass" you bought it from,was honest and gave you a deal on the truck..... benji was a straight forward with you. the light rack was on tommy(85yota) first race truck then i bought it and sold it to benji. its super clean work and looks good on the yota.

your right man i did get a good deal and the truck is clean. nothing wrong with the light rack either i just want it mounted to my cab cage for more strength. its one of the most complimented things on the truck.

as i came to find out when i got home the radiator was shot, the brakes go soft, and the rear end was toast. but hey its apart of buying a used truck. i love the truck and i dont mind spending the money to finish building it. i just want to know what is actually on the truck and what not

**slcpunk74** · 06-30-2009, 06:59 AM

I was just asking about the leafs because your truck looks to sit about like ours. We have the 62" f55 pack. vvv

**jodaddy23** · 06-30-2009, 07:26 AM

Id remount those rear shocks if it get the chance .

**FCORR** · 06-30-2009, 07:31 AM

I agree, it looks like the F55 pack as well...

Cool little truck, I basically have a twin to this truck, if you have any questions let me know I've gotten to know this setup pretty well...

**93TCYOTA** · 07-01-2009, 07:45 PM

then i guess it is the f55 lol is there a serial number to check or something??

why remount the shocks?

Yeah, when new the leafs have a sticker on the top side that has the serial number.. Although, yours may have been painted over..

Personally, I'm not sure if I would remount (at least not until the cab cage is done and tied into the bed cage).. But I would definately brace the current setup..

Truck looks way clean though! Good buy on that one

lol probably but ill look.

truck is pretty clean minus a few small things. its getting dialed in slowly. hopefully ill have some more work done tomorrow. if not on monday

**93TCYOTA** · 07-06-2009, 11:40 PM

update: pics of axle swap. 7.5 to 8"
will have spring plates and shock tabs welded up tomorrow night. then in goes the new axle!

**KennyLock** · 07-07-2009, 11:41 PM

This truck was forsale here on DR right?

**93TCYOTA** · 07-08-2009, 07:22 AM

yeah it was i picked it up in early may

**racerheckmann641** · 07-10-2009, 05:53 PM

dumbass huh? i have built on a lot of trucks that was the only truck i did not touch i bought it almost the same way i sold it to you man i did not have no problems with it but i really did not drive it... going from a linked ranger back to a leaf spring truck sucked and i wanted to do a ranger i can buy any prerunner out there and not like something on it i gave you a good deal man and talking shit is not going to get you a good start on DR!

**93TCYOTA** · 07-12-2009, 05:46 PM

ben i wasnt meaning to talk shit. i apologize. but i did travel extremely far for that truck and yes your right i did get a good deal. the things that frustrated me were the fact that the truck had a huge crack in the windshield, it had damage to the cab, the radiator was about to fall apart, the axle blew up within 50 miles of driving it, the wiring is a mess, and all the times on the phone and through email you did not bother to tell me these things. thanks for the deal on the truck. i never said i didnt like the truck or anything about it minus the things mechanically and cosmetically wrong.

**racerheckmann641** · 07-13-2009, 12:31 AM

i seen no problems with the truck other then what i told you i am sorry your right i should of known that that axle was going to go out... serious man come on if your bitching about those things your in the wrong sport i have had to fix shit in the desert dunes and the 101 before shits going to break on a class1 or a dam prerunner i was going to make it a race truck but i ended up buying it an changing my mine cause i already have my yota 80% done but now im bilding a ranger... anyways you will see after you get it done if you have ever had a rc car they are like that but way bigg
er and way more money. but have fun man take your time do it right the first time

**slcpunk74** · 07-14-2009, 09:04 AM

Good job! So what gear ratio? Open diff? v6 or 4 cyl diff?

**93TCYOTA** · 07-14-2009, 02:17 PM

thanks!
not sure on gear ratio got to jack it back up and try and do the calculation. its out of a 91 4x ext cab so im thinking its the v6 diff. but im not to positive.

**mpower228** · 07-22-2009, 03:23 AM

Pics???

**93TCYOTA** · 07-22-2009, 08:21 AM

sorry havent had time to take pics and my camera was messed up. ill try and get some up this week. just had a stainless brake line made for the rear and also picked up 3 new 33x10.50x15 bfg mud terrains 2 for the front & 1 for a front spare.

**93TCYOTA** · 07-23-2009, 12:19 AM

**93TCYOTA** · 07-23-2009, 12:30 AM

**NarlsBentley** · 07-26-2009, 04:05 PM

It's lookin good, coming along nicely. keep the pics rollin on the progress

**esbyota** · 07-26-2009, 10:50 PM

you get that rear end all squared away?

**93TCYOTA** · 07-27-2009, 11:59 AM

yeah its in brad. i need to redo the shock mounts cause there not even but i had to just get them in so i could move it to a different garage. but it seems to be good so far i drove it about a half mile or so.

to do the next two weeks:
install new tires
paint rear axle
install bumps
adjust the belts
flush the radiator
install lights and fix wiring
recharge the rear shocks

**93TCYOTA** · 07-28-2009, 09:13 AM

got the new tires on the front, and the bare metal on the passenger side painted up on the rear axle.

tried to get my wiring figured out but i keep blowing my turn signal fuse and have no clue why.

need to have the rear shocks rebuilt/recharged and find a 15" rim for the front and 3 tires for the rear.

**93TCYOTA** · 08-03-2009, 10:32 AM

what oil and how much should i use for the 8" rear end???

**93TCYOTA** · 08-11-2009, 05:26 PM

well i finally got the truck on the road. and its running pretty damn good. got my electrical issues figured out finally.

still need to do a few things over the next week or so before is start driving it..
change axle fluid
flush radiator
install rear bumps
wire up lic. plate light and corner lights
recharge rear shocks
