Lexus Wheels On My Toyota

[Twisted Minis]

So I'm putting my truck back together, finally got to a point where I could put wheels on it. I had some chrome RX330 wheels machined to fit my front hubs. Heres the frame on the ground with the wheels mounted.

In about 2 weeks time we will be setting the cab back on and I will have pictures of the wheels tucked inside the fenders finally.

Got the body on.

I can clear them to turn no problem with the new front suspension. And I can tuck them hard too.

The truck is about belly button height when its on the ground.

Everything is primed.

That is one twisted truck. Excellent project mate.

Does look good, take it you can't drive it when its that low though?

[Twisted Minis]

Thanks.

I can't drive it as low as you see it there. Its on the ground, so thats the parking brake. But I can drive it anywhere from 1" off the ground to 10" off the ground. Ride height is set at about 5 to 6 inches of ground clearance.

Chuff me.... good luck with that one and I look forward to seeing it change. You sticking with the stock Toyota engine? Or are you going for an upgrade that will pull the weight of the truck and the hydraulic chamber as well? ;)

That's looking wicked .. are you going to do anything with the back of it ?

[Twisted Minis]

Jammy, I'm sticking with the stock motor. Its rebuilt with some performance parts. And CA smog laws are very strict. Its hard to legally get away with a motor swap, more touble and money than its worth.

Scarface, I have a bed to go out back. It still needs some work. I have to raise the bed floor, and shave a few things here and there, and do a tail light swap from a newer truck.

Took it to the meeting tonight. Like driving a brand new truck.

First ever tank of gas.

I pulled it out and parked it next to my neighbors '81 longbed with a 3" drop and Caddy wheels.
