Twisted Minis

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

Took it to the meeting tonight. Like driving a brand new truck. First ever tank of gas.

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.

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.

Everything is primed.

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.

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.

Mounted. Now I just need to get my frame back so I have something to put them on.

I wish I could get a cre cab Toyota over here. I'd have so much fun with one of those.

New tires in the guest room.

They are actually just a standard chrome, the picture doesnt show it well. I think Lexus offers them in Silver, and polished. I ordered these from OE Wheels. I'm going to have them machined next week.

Got the wheels.
