Steve's '94 Toyota x-cab mild build

[sixstringsteve]

Mine has definitely had a broken birf or two in the past. I'll take some pics and make sure I clean it up well enough. I'll need some opinions on it to make sure it's been fixed properly before I build it up. The oil seal area wasn't affected, just the inner ball.

Here's the pic of the damage to the pass side ball. I assume it's from a broken birf.

What do you think Kurt? Am I ok as long as I run my marlin ecoseals?

[sixstringsteve]

I will be working from 7 PM 'till 1 AM tonight if anyone wants to swing by and hang out.

I'll mainly be welding, grinding, and installing the dirty 30s and six-shooters.

great! I bought some 17x7 wheels as a back-up, and I"m looking into having some custom wheels made sooner. I'll keep you posted.

 

[SAMI]

What wheels did you end up with?

 

[Chevycrew]

Looks like greg has a set of wheels and spacers for you!

 

[sixstringsteve]

I ended up with some 2009 tacoma steel wheels.

I found my camera, so I'll snap some pics tonight.

It's 10:00 and I haven't even entered the garage yet. I spent all night gathering parts.

 

[sixstringsteve]

Didn't get much done tonight other than picking up a million parts, and picking up the truck.



Here are the wheels I bought that I hope I don't have to use:

Here's where I picked up from last night:

And here's where I finished:

I got the lower ball gussets on, as well as the steering stop caps. I still don't have the large diff armour (no biggie), or the 3/8" spring plate.

I've gotta give another HUGE thanks to Low Range Offroad for bending over backwards to help me. Sean offered to sell me his six-shooters for his personal rig, but thankfully we found a set. Big thanks to Dan for always changing my order 6 different times a day. Huge thanks to Lee for delivering my bumper, and Coco for hooking me up with some great prices on his parts that he had left over.
