So anywho, some of yall on here know what I have been upto when it comes to getting back into the crawling scene. For those who don't know let me introduce you to a legend I just picked up from the guys at Slee Offroad in Golden Colorado
Originally hailing from california, built by a top quality fabricator, started in 09, being brought back in 2015; the fishmouth fabrication rockwell hilux!!
Original build thread (thanks to YROC for posting it up) http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/toyota-truck-4runner/555900-project-tt-hilux.html
plans are to keep it right around what dan had planned for it. it functioned well and looked awesome
Drivetrain:
Motor - 454bbc tbi
Trans - most likely turbo 400
t-case - atlas 2 speed with 3.8 gears
Axles - slowly being built up 2.5 ton steering rockwells
Suspension:
Front - 4 linked with 1.25" heims with spacers necked down to 5/8" bolts. fox 2.5"x14" travel coilovers with resivors.
Rear - 4 linked with 1.25" heims and spacers necked down to 5/8" bolts. not sure on shock length yet, need to read into that.
Wheel base: probably right around 125"-130"
Steering:
Full hydro with 4 wheel steering,
Rams - PSC 3" bore with 1.5" shafts and 9" stroke, front and rear.
Pump - PSC High wolume and smaller pulley
Orbital - PSC 185cc
Tires and Rims:
Tires: Going to run the claws for now, but eventually going to 44" competition boggers.
Rims: For now just going to do some weld one beadlocks but will eventually get some double sided beadlocks.
Parts ordered so far:
1- full 1.25" heim kit and seal/bootkit for 2 steer axles from Rockwell Offroad
32 - misalignment spacers from RuffStuff Specialties.
1- PSC Double Ended ram, 3" bore x 9" stroke
2 - Axle link brackets from Bluetorch Fab.
1 - pair of tierod to straight bolt adapters for the steer knuckles from bluetorch fab.
4 - 7/8 RH heims from rockwelloffroad.com for steering links
2 - 3/4 rh heims from Rockwelloffroad.com for the steering ram.
Parts that came with the purchase:
1 Complete rockwell 2.5 ton front
2 empty steer housings.

2 mohawk diff covers from fishmouth fabrication
2 center sections that fishmouth machined to do the pinion flip.
4 46" used baja claws on custom rims

all the floor pans built and ready to be installed
all the skins for the outside including to working doors which ill probably actually sell and make tube doors instead of beating these nice doors.
