It would help me a ton so I would LOVE to see those pictures!

 

I still have to do lots of "structural" work to brace the hoops . I am far from being done , but here ya go ,









hope they help

Basically you made your frame rails to bolt in the supra subframe? I always thought that was a great route. What's the width brake to brake? I would love to put that type of setup into something someday.

 

I was told the irs was 7 inches wider than are trucks rear end and I know from the factory are trucks are 100mm wider track width in the rear than in the front that's why I was thinking custom axles, arm's, rear cradle, and strut mounts

 

7" wider than what gen rear axle? Mine is 53" wide. Have a project in mind that will need something around 60" or so.

 

our trucks are 100mm wider in the rear?.... that's a lot O.O

Slacker, that looks amazing!

 

Yup measured the track width and also found it on a chief allingnment system

 

Oh 100mm is only 4 Inches long

 

Are you sure your rear end isn't from a newer truck? My track width on the 78 is pretty close front and rear.

 

my 94's track is the same front and rear, i heard the actual difference in widths is .4" or something, not 100mm.



I know the SC300's had a relatively high positive offset for factory wheels (not super high, but higher than a regular RWD mindset) so if you swapped it, your current wheels should stick out further, plus these cars are wider than our compact trucks.

 

thanks fellas ..
and yes , it is NOT a direct fit .. but with the wheel options we have now a days , and the custom rear fenders (+ fronts) my shop does .. the 14" wide FAT tires are gonna work just need to find the right backspacing

smokin' !!!!

Hey slacker what have you decided to do with the brakes? Im trying to decide how and what to do with mine. I doubt the brake booster from our trucks will work with the new set up but for me I dont want to rip everything out of the lexus donor if i dont need to.

 

sorry , havent even touched this project in a long time ...


.

 

It's all good. Did you ever look into what you were doing with the brake setup?

 

I havent

 

Hey Slacker just checking in to see how things are going with this build.
