Sounds pretty setup, you're lucky you got one with the front axle... Or did you swap in the front axle?

We need to get some pics of it off road now!

LOL, yah its an 85 already had the axel, which needs a rebuild very bad. I guess its pretty set up for having it a month, but I have a ton of things to do before I can take it off road. The rims and shocks and gears are top of the list. Tires rub bad on springs etc.

Can't we all just get along? :sick:

Sorry, unfamiliar with Toys, but.... Thats cool you got an 85... Solid axle toyota is always a good setup.

Hope you get the stuff you need done pretty quickly so you can go wheelin soon. Good luck.

Update

Got some more pictures, since I posted I have since added a rhino lining to the interior, partially completed sliders, almost finished rear bumper, real shocks rather than booty fab (in the rear) and as of today I got one of the two front towers welded in. Total 3 out of 4 shocks on the vehicle. I also got me some 2" BS rims and painted them black rustolium. Added some lights on the front and some driving lights as rock lights. Forget the blabbing, here's some more pics. I will get some wheeling pics as soon as I can afford the 5:29's into the truck.

I have a lot more to do on the cage, don't worry. I am also going to do a crossover steering as soon as I find a PS box for cheap, then I will order me a kit. I also have clean axle housings to put in, I have the rear which I am working on gussetting and getting good shock mounts on, and I plan on picking up a rebuilt front housing from someone! After that if money allows I will be throwing a 4:7 t-case in it!
