Home brew Toyota

Home brew Toyota (F-toy based)

Owners Name & City- Tristin, Salt lake.

Make, Model & Year of Vehicle- Misc Toyota 85-93

Chassis- Home made, tried to keep the outside dimensions close to a f-toy but 3" wider for more room inside.

Engine- 93 Toyota truck 22re with a 1987 celiac alltrac CT26 turbo (running 8psi peak with factory waste gate)

Transmission- stock 87 4Runner 5speed

T-Case- Dual cases 2.28 front 4.7 rear with twin sticks and a cut down TG cross member fit between the frame rails.

Axles- Front trail gear rock assault Tacoma width passenger drop housing 6 shooters, spool, 5.29's, alloys ect
Rear stock IFS width housing, big truss, spool, 5.29's.

Suspension- Trail-gear 5" springs with some leafs taken out. Rears are in boarded to match the front width and have orbital mounts. Bilstein 5125 shock F&R.

Wheels and Tires- Atx bead locks 37" creepys.

Other- I built it in my garage over a 4 month period with help from a few buddies. Made it a 4 seater for family trail riding. Took a lot of the F-toy ideas With my own twist on some things. I finally got it out and on the trail, so far I have ran hanging tree and the 5 mile trails. Loving the setup a lot, it seams less top heavy and lighter then when it was full bodied.

Here are some more picture of the build. It was interesting to figure out things as you go. I am glad I chosse this style of build over a 100% custom buggy as a lot of it was already planned from looking at F-toys.

What it started as....

After some good trail abuse... The tear down began.

Found a good 85 solid axle frame to start from, cut it down, striped it and cleaned it. Then started with suspension and drivetrain.

Used ruff stuffs stretch leaf mounts to try to give a better departure angle and proper wheel base with leafs.
