Yup. standard J springs. Old tires measured 33", new ones 35". Zimm is a troll. Cheers

I have no idea what you are talking about.

My opinions I shared are simply my own personal taste. I like a truck or my truck to look a certain way, I don't mind resto mods one bit but feel a truck should keep it's original look. Again, my comments are simply opinion about my personal taste, nothing more and nothing less. Had the thread...

A guy in a small town in Idaho. He does tig welding and SS/aluminum fab on the side for fun. He is into sand cars. Search around in your area for guys that build sand cars or trophy trucks. Or a guy that builds radiators for hot rods. If you can't find that try to find a guy who does fab and can...

True enough, a truck has it's uses. I got 3 full sized ones though so for me the Cruiser is better. Cheers

Great thread and story! Good on ya man for living the dream and doing what makes you and your wife happy. If I could only find a woman like you have.... I been to Aus. once back in 2008 for about 5 weeks. Did Fraser Island for my 35th B-day. Drank warm Guinness on the beach camping out of a...

A bit high priced but looks tidy. An 80 is a way different vehicle than a Taco. I had a really nice Taco and liked it but my 80 is a way better truck in just about every way. Cheers

Somebody shared a picture, others shared their opinions. I do not see this as bashing. It is not like it is some guy's personal truck, it is for sale and as you say by a dealer. Cheers

It certainly is a concern Dan. One I should not forget about. I am learning there seems to be a real sweet spot on 80s for the pinion. I have no room on the front for a DC shaft, my driveline is already only 1/2" or so off my trans pan. Right now my main concern is the castor, I don't get bad...

I tell ya, I didn't have a lot of complaints about my Taco but range was one of the big ones. Especially cause' 14mpg was doing great for me! Not worrying one bit about fuel anymore sure made trips more enjoyable. Especially in Baja. I am sure you can find a tank that will fit. I went the...

For sale on Ebay, $15k

I had done this in my 04 Tacoma awhile back when I had the truck. We installed this in late 2009 so I guess it has been going on 5yrs now. I got rid of the truck in 2011 but did do about 40,000 miles in it with the aux tank before I got rid of it. I figured this may be helpful and useful to...

Doesn't do it for me at all. Looks taller in the front than rear, I see a 4+ S/R kit so is likely why. Don't like the diamond plate. Don't like simulated beadlock wheels. The color is to loud for me and I am not a fan of the canvas. Cheers

I had this truck listed for sale and decided today I want to keep it through the summer, perhaps longer. Went to c&t the front axle last weekend. Got all set up and it became obvious we were not going to get much from a c&t, maybe 3*. So decided it was not worth it, instead I put in some 3*...

He had a really nice 80, he sold it and got the 100. We went to King of the Hammers and now he wants to build an 80 to race in the stock class. So he sold the 100 to fund it.

Still can't believe you sold it and you stole my buyer! Just kidding. Congrats man. If you need a full sized truck and trailer to pick up an 80 the crummy is ready to rock. I think I am going to keep my 80 awhile, like through the summer at least. So hopefully you get something we can go...

Oh and you could also try selling it on the Panama 4x4 forum if that is your final destination. http://4x4panama.com/foro/ cheers

I think "The Turtle" would be more appropriate but very cool truck that is well outfitted. GLWS that is a sweet truck! Cheers

We have been aiming for a 2" lift all along and that is what Alcan is supposed to have made the leaf springs at. Yet, with no weight on the rear we have more than 2" of lift! I made new rear sway bar links, 2" extended. The rubber bushes and washers are NOS. Just going to have to wait and...

Thank you and I agree, it would be nice for it to be done this year, seeing as it is 50yrs old now. We will just have to see what happens. I had planned to be farther along by now but hit some bumps in the road these last few months. When it comes time to do a final assembly on something I like...
