Needs some info/opinions on my 93 4R

[loko ino]

I need to change my exhaust tip..it needs to dump out the side also. With my rear window down on the freeway I get exhaust in the truck. Gonna have my guy modify it when he puts the lift on. Just waiting for the Skyjackers from 4WheelParts..I got everything else already.
I need some D-rings also..completes the look.
First wheeling trip with bumper and new lift will be April 6th to Hite Cove in Mariposa CA..if anyone in CenCal interested...

Lift is done1

Got it all done Friday.
Total cost was about $350 for parts, $200 for install.

Front:
1.5" BJ spacers in front
diff drop
sway bar extenders
Skyjackers Nitros

Rear:
7.5 wrap LC coils
4Crawler LPSV bracket
4Cralwer Panhard Rod Drop Bracket
Skyjacker Nitros

So after it was all on and got the alignment she is feeling good. Think I needed about 3" of lift, ride is a little stiffer but I don't mind at all. I think it all came out pretty good.
First pic is before the lift...a little reference.

BTW..the truck is not crooked..my camera skills are.

Looks good! I'm pretty much running the same lift setup besides some minor things and love it.

No they aren't, but they are in housings designed for HID use though. Never blinds oncoming traffic and has great beam pattern.

Send me the info for them please. I thought we had to change out our front end to get different lenses to fit in there, or does your 92 not have that little teardrop shape in the upper inner corners like my 93. I know some came with square headlights and some came like mine (retarded shape).

Hitting the trail tomorrow for the first time this season since getting the engine fixed, armor on and lift installed..hopefully good pics for you guys come Monday.

Yeah mine are the square pickup style front end unlike yours. Ive never seen one with the teardrop shape.

I thought so.
The local Toyota shop I use here, he has a pickup front end waiting for me to come up with cash to do a swap.

 

[92-SR5]

I personally think the pickup fronts look better, slightly more old school. :happy: I don't think that the swap is that hard.

4/13/13 Blue Canyon area run

Well I was suppose to have pics up last weekend but we had to cancel that run...this weekend we went to Blue Canyon but all the trails were down for repairs. Ended up doing some trail running, motor cross style, then finally found a moutain top to play one.

Looks good! Makes me want to go wheeling. I need to install my new CVs first though. :bash:

It was fun.
I didnt get much articulation play in, and I didn't really get the tires stuffed like I wanted, but all in all was a fun day. I kept up with everyone else so that is what I wanted.
I need a decent CB and get started on getting a roof rack made from my local shop.

This is what I use on the trail --

GI JOE'S: MAGNUM 257HP - MAGNUM 257 HP LOW PRICE FAST SHIPPING

It's easy to convert it over to 11 Meters.

The ... extra power ... has come in handy on the trails when we explore with more than one group. Total output in +100 watts. Most times I have to really crank back on the RF and audio as I tend to be LOUD AND CLEAR on the other's CBs...

I wouldn't get a 100 watt radio (or at least use it on 100 watts fr very long). There isn't much difference between 50 watts and 100 watts as far as s units are concerned. You will just kill your alternator.

Received my Energy Suspension sway bar bushings and low pro bumpstops today...yay for weekend project.
Also need to start drawing up plans for my rear storage drawers...looks like I have to order the drawer slides online, no box store around me has them.
