Video

The stock front hangar was on it here but the springs moved it forward a few inches. It was enough to keep the 36s out of the firewall. 39s was a different story

Yep, it's changed quite a bit but it's still alive. You're right, they've gotten really expensive. I paid $600 for a nearly perfect truck. It'd easily be a $6000 truck today if I hadn't smashed it all up.

@@alexw12345678 Can you do an update video

Thank you, but it's changed quite a bit since this video. I'd sell it for $100,000

Thanks, it was on the truck when I bought it

+Alex Waugh thank you!

Same axles are still straight 7 years later, now with 39.5" Irok's on it. I"ve been running a lot tougher stuff than Timber Ridge, especially this year. I know everyone says they bend but I haven't had an issue.

Alex Waugh hey can you check out and sub to my channel I also do Timberride videos

Mulțumiri

Thanks, I think this was filmed with my Flip right before it died.

Alex Waugh It lived a good life. :p

Thanks, your CZcams channel is awesome too

Thanks. You're lucky to have one at 15. Take care of it, they're hard to find. I'd love to find a nice stock first gen to drive. I'll make more videos, I need to get out and wheel more.

Unfortunately not, the person recording forgot to turn the camera on

+Cody Cammack Sure, I've had it a long time and it's gone through a ton of modifications and I still have a lot planned. Probably the easiest thing to do is read my pirate thread, www.pirate4x4.com/forum/toyota-truck-4runner/578971-81-toyota-build.html The front axle is original 30 spline longfields, hub gears, arp hub and steering studs. 5.29's with a lockright and marlin hi steer and spacers to match the IFS rear. Rear axle is 5.29's with a lock right, IFS width. I swapped in a W56, used a modified 4xInnovations crossmember. I have a Marlin clocked adapter with Trail Gear 4.7's in the rear case and a Davez twin stick. The front driveshaft has a Trailgear long slip, the rear is custom. 22r with a pacesetter header and gotpropane conversion. The cage is 4xInnovations. Corbeau seats, ProArmor harnesses Grant wheel with a weld on disconnect. The fenders and floor have been cut out for the 39.5's. I have 5" Alcan springs, stock length. I have 14" Bilsteins in the front and the back. They're actually a little long. I'm using Ford shock towers. The rear shocks are mounted vertical through the bed. The truck was a longbed, about 6 years ago I bobbed 12" out of it, this last year I removed everything but the bedsides and did a 12" dovetail. I'd like to re-do the suspension, it's not very flexy but it is predictable and I'm used to it. I'd also like to do hydro assist. That's about it.

The white truck is on 39" irons, I think 36s on the red truck. The tan truck shown briefly is on 39s also

+lone crusaider Thanks, this truck has been a lot of fun. It's changed so much since this video. I almost have it back together, 4.7's in the rear case 39's, the bed is dovetailed now, harnesses and suspension seats. It was seems like it was so clean in this video.

I cant wait to get the engine back together in my 86 22ret. Its all original in near perfect condition. So looking forward to getting it on the trail.

lone crusaider 22ret nice, I'm jealous. I want to build a turbo engine for this truck when I get a chance. Take care of it, there aren't many left.

+Alex Waugh i have a 1986 Toyota pickup manual trans. with a 3 foot clearance and 31s on it but the trans is made for 33s. perfect off road truck i want to add a roll cage and rock guard, and maybe a 1 ton winch. chew on that for a bit XD

Sounds like you need to read up a little more. I'm glad to answer any questions you have.

Yeah, 5 years ago. ;) It has a much healthier 22r on propane in it now

Hahaha. Gotcha. 22r's are awesome engines. Good looking rig, man. I own 3 Jeeps and I'be owned Jeeps all my life but I love the solid axle 'Yotas. A couple members of my Jeep club also have Toyota pickups and they're very capable offroad.

They're getting hard to find, take care of it.

You get one yet?

Yep, still have it. I have the drivetrain out right now. It's changed a lot since this video. How are the bodies on your pickups?

Alex Waugh I think the cabs solid on one. The SR5 has some side impact. I know where one or two other round eyes are laying as well. Im doing 1st gen 4 runners now. Was in hope of building a 80-83 pickup but I dont see that happening anytime soon. Theyre all so scarce now days and its a good idea to have a couple laying around for parts.

36's, it has 39's now with the same lift. It's about 4-5" of lift.

my buddy is telling me (who also has a '80 something yota) that those trucks cant handle large tires like that.......

Rick James The straight axle trucks are pretty strong. With dual cases, 5.29's and 39" tires I've broken nothing in the front end. I do have Longfield axle shafts. The stock birfield's can be weak, about the strength of a Dana 44. Still stronger than a Jeep axle.

if your ever in AZ hit me up I got a bunch of 4x4 buddies

Paul V Cool, that's a long haul for me but I'd like to head west sometime.

Needs round headlights ;)

Yes, but it was on the truck when I bought it. It's heavy

I bought it in California and brought it back, there are none in my part of the country.

Yeah, it's kind of sad they are getting so hard to find.

I don't remember, probably 5-6. Anymore I run about 3

I went to propane shortly after this, no more carb issues

Before dual cases, that is 4 low. It was geared to high even with 5.29's.

My truck, the '81, is the stock 22r and the '85 is the stock 22re in this video. I replaced my original engine with a propane 22r and the '85's engine has been rebuilt as well.

Yeah, I replaced the engine since this video was taken. Doesn't smoke a bit now and runs on propane.
