my 85 yota rockcrawler project
- Thread starter megadesertdiesel
- Start date
yes, i bought the AllPro extreme suspension kit that will give me 21" of wheel travel, and thats all i will need. besides cost of link material and ends were 2x what a leaf spring complete system was.
i did not want to re-invent the wheel. my last crawler ended up fabricating everything and i didnt drive it much.
KISS on this build.
yes this winter its on, one weekend in the dunes and the next in the rocks. hells yeah i cannot wait.
ok the weather cooled down here in HE double hocky sticks enough to work in thegarage again. i made mounts for my CO2 tank, spare tire, cooler, toolbox, and highlift jack. just need to weld a tab on for my CB antenna and rough up the bed so when i spray bedliner on it it will stick good. also i bought a tube of body panel caulking to make all of the bed seams sealed water tight.
here are this weekends progress pics

i stayed home from work today to get this darn Toyota bed completed. roughed up the new sheetmetal, seaed the joints, rattle can sprayed the outside of the bed and sprayed in the bedliner. pretty easy to spray the bedliner stuff but it sure makes an overspray mess. color came out lighter than i wanted but oh well it on there now.
Hippo Liner. i bought it a a local paint store and bought the toner to tint the color there also.
Looks like most of the pix are blue (?)s now. Email me a few of how it currently sits and a list of whats left to get it on the trail. [email protected]
