whats up folks, just wanted to share my current project/build. Its a 88 toyota pickup extra cab with some goodies such as a 302 swap. It use to be a 4x4, but the previous owner had the front diff removed, so with the help of mr. SD YOTA im trying to get this thing as low as possible. Well on to the pics!

When I 1st got her.

Added some goodies to the motor, Edelbrock heads, powerproducts intake manifold/spacer/throttle body, Bigger Maf, CAI, SCT chip/dyno tune.

strapped on the dyno

numbers =)

Different stance, torsion'd down, 30x9.5 tires on 15x10 enkei's, plan to go lower!



enjoy!

 

Nice! How the hell do u still pass smog?

 

Very nice man. Now when you say low, how low you talking? Love the engine man

 

$$$ and the people you know

Haha thanks! And as of going low.. im not to sure.. whatever SD Yota can achieve with this 4x4 chassis. He'll have to chime in on that one.

 

Man that body looks mint, Im so jealous of the shaved style beds you guys have instead of our hook sides.

 

Looks awesome! I like the wheels.

 

so this is turning into quite a project............ although a challenge, ive been finding that lowering the 4x4 chassis is actually not all too impossible and will somewhat emulate the process of lowering a 2wd chassis.....

ill be updating this thread on my end with some pictures of the measures i will take. anyone have a relatively stock height 4x4 to take a ride height measurement to give me a relative starting point to keep track of how low this is gonna go?

i need a measurement from the center of the front hub, to the top bottom line of the front fender. same process for the rear....

 

Why not measure from the frame to the ground?

 

because i am measuring suspension drop not ground clearance. also, i forget where i read this but its how you are "supposed" to measure for lift or drop changes. its more accurate to measure how low you have gone in a suspension drop by measuring the center point of your hub to the body since that is the area you are changing and is a more consistent measure.

 

I'm really interested to see how low you are going to be able to get this thing. Have you thought of just getting a 88 extra cab 2wd frame and swapping the 4x4 frame out? I guess it all depends on how low you are planning to go.

 

Yea.. i thought about it for awhile.. but i figure if i left it in Alex's hands aka SD Yota.. im sure he could make some magic happen..haha. Regardless of what height he can achieve I'll be happy with it.. all i know is that i might need some over fenders so that this wheel/tire combo can sit flush
