my truck an orange 4runner and a newly done tube buggy and a tubed out willys thats green.

and u might see us there thursday afternoon.

 

[rockreligious]

holy cow.. Is that the truck (stock)you came down to my place in Ephraim to get the frame? thats cool... Is the tubed out green willys the one you got the frame for? just curious if so and how it worked out.

 

[KToy]

the green willys has your frame under it. the truck we came down in was a tundra and i sold that. the t100 i bought wrecked for 1500 bucks and thats how it sits now. i need a hood a grill and the lights to make it look a lil normal again. the frame worked great but he chopped most of it off.

It looks like Youl have a pretty sik rig when you get it rollin. WHats the wheelbase?

 

[KToy]

its 130 inch wheel base which i know is long but the cab is a lot bigger than a 3rd gen toyota truck which i didnt know i would encounter. i could shorten it to like 125 if i wanted but i dont think ill gain anything by doing it except lose my bed from shortening the wheel base.

 

[Goose]

130'' will be interesting, You might really like it. If not you can always change it. I ran mine at 125'' for a couple years & then brought it back in to 122'', I didnt really notice a difference. The nice thing is the extra room in the cab, Im sure youl love that.

 

[KToy]

ya btw i like your rig alot goose reminds me of my old one. and yes i loved the extra room when i went to moab. it has a 2 inch body lift which sorta sucks but i need the 3 inch to put my flat belly pan on for my transmission so ill be doing that next. if i dont like the wheel base ill be bringing it forward when i do air shox and 4 link in the rear.

i moved the front axle forward 6 inches so i could clear the 42's and thats why its such a long wheel base as well.

 

[Goose]

seems like whaterver ya do theres always a give and take. have you wheeled on the 42''IROKS? Ive had mine on for a couple yrs now, I like the 42'S quite a bit. (I once said Id never go bigger than 33's)

 

[KToy]

2nd set of 42 iroks and i think i want 49's for this long of a wheel base.

 

[Revenant]

Your T100 is a beauty, but you're making me want to go fab happy on my DD...:-\

 

[KToy]

well you have to start somewhere and my original crawler was my dd and i drove it everywhere.

 

[Goose]

49's would be sweet. theyd probably fit the wheelbase perfect. (the bigger the better)
I'd have to make some serious mods to my front end to fit meats that big.
I cant Imagine the traction.
