+1 what part number im local and interested depending.

Ahh thats lake Hennessey yeah? More napa county?

Thanks! Its getting there! Lower lake, its nothing publicly accessible and as far as I know it was just an old vineyard name for the property.

Went and stuffed it out some to figure out bumps and shocks. Surprised with how much flex it had. For rear i got 32.5d/31.5p full droop and 20/20.5 full stuff. Looked like a 3in bump ext would be what i need Anything I should know before I order a 12in travel shock for the rear to fit these...

I figured you had to have some intimate knowledge of the industry in the area to call out that property. Yeah the original owners is what I heard. Thankful they bought one with lockers back then haha.

Never would have guessed someone knew where it was from 😳 yes, story i heard was it was the original owners personal vehicle and when they bought a new car they just had the workers use it.

Funny I also just realized I was looking at your thread while installing the drop brackets. Have you wheeled them hard? Only after install did I think about how much it extended the leverage on that area.

94! 260k I didnt do any measurements it was fairly clapped out suspension stock. I did cut fenders, the flares were toast. Maybe im misled but I feel like everyone bumps to compensate body, id rather get the tuck than hit bump. The wheels are 17s, 2.5in bs iirc ive had them a while. I have 3.5bs...

Oh ive learned a lot here already but yeah searching is sifting a lot. Its the first place i look when i have a tech question. I think ill be good with the springs I got, the 37s tuck fine so far. Future maybe im going 40s but i have a brand new set of 37s and beadlocks for this truck, i jsut...

Just for fun, here's the other crawler

Got the carpets a good bit better, cleaned all the rat junk out. Ran an ozone machine in there for a while now all I can smell is the leather conditioner I cleaned all the seats with which is ideal! The paint is rough, clear coats missing most everywhere and heavy mineral deposits on...

So truck ran, had a cel, was an o2 sensors. Im a child so before that I decided to swap the 37s off of my pickup on it without changing a thing to see what I really needed to clear them. Wasn't as easy as id hoped. I was going for as low and tall tired as possible for crawling. Started doing...

Well, Ive done like one other build thread a long time ago on a 3rd gen 4runner I had that I really didnt do much with but I enjoyed working on that and when I was done I hardly had any progress to show when it was done. Same with my 1st gen pickup that I still have. Ive had my 1983 toyota...

😂 wish it was mine, im abusing my works shop. If you think the forklifts cool I didnt post a Pic with the whole thing hung from that crane thats the best part. Made those rear springs real easy.

New brakes all the way around, bled and sitting on new dobinsons springs no shocks yet. Will check shock lengths tomorrow trying to maximize my travel so didn't opt for off the shelf sizes yet.
