My 86 toyota truggy build

[Erik d_lux]

Just say when.

 

[big cherokee]

so kyle are you going to be running a sway bar in the rear with the airshocks.


or is it not really needed with the leafs up front.

 

[NOTATOY]

frame plates... not sure if im going to keep them on there or not.

extra frame supports never hurt, especially when you beat your truck like you do

Ryan- I was not planning on doing a sway bar, might do a rear suck down winch though

Good point on the frame supports, i havent welded them up yet but i probly will some time this week.

 

[NOTATOY]

So did someone from your work run the bor race??

 

[1986ToyRunner]

What size chevys were on the rear? If they were 63's how much would you take for them?

This guy i work with's son did, (Chad) slcpunk on here... he ran it.

63'' spings are going under tacomaguys truck sorry.

sweet kyle, i have been doing research for when i decide to make min a ohv vehicle and link it. just alot of people talking about sway with the airshocks, most deal with it but im sure a suck down will help it.

 

[choptopbII]

Im buying a set of these so i can make it go faster from barbed wire off road. They are 1018 so i hope they last more that one hole.

 

[NOTATOY]

NICE! then you will be a master fabricationator!

 

[choptopbII]

Master Fabricationator hell yes

Hey Jake, any chance you are going to be around this weekend?

 

[193kyle]

Dude, it's been like a week and a half now! Are you done yet?

 

[NOTATOY]

I should be around this weekend, I want to get the dime done!! Just give me a call

 

[big cherokee]

kyle what are you doing on this thing this weekend.


would love to stop by and check it out.

 

[choptopbII]

i havent got anything from ballistic yet so im kinda stuck, I might start working on the front end though... moving the steering box forward fixing my axle seal leak and
finishing building my bumpstops.

On second note i dont know if i wanna move my steering box yet, Full hydro steering might be one of the next things on the list. and the orbital will bolt right where the stock steering box mounts.... hmmmm

 

[big cherokee]

full hydro would be very fun, just think manual steering to full hydro it would probably be like a new truck especially with the rear linked.

what is your wheel-base going to be?
Im going to shorten my wheel-base a little (120 or 118), Im worried about dragging my bottom links everywhere. my bottoms are still going to be looong.

im going to keep my 117'' wheelbase

keeping true with the 75% rule...

my lowers are going to be about 4 feet long and my uppers are going to be about 3ft long

another crappy thing about really long lower links is they are more susceptible to bending and dragging over stuff like you said. :-\

 

[04nachotaco]

Are you running it through a link calc before hand? Are you going to mock up the links first? Dual triangulated?? Whats your plans?

 

[Goose]

links

Yeah the bending has me a little worried as well. Its a bit of a catch 22, The longer arms deffinitely help the anti squat & hopping on climbs. But they dont do much good bent in half though. If I shorten My w-b a little I think that would help a little.
