Hi there I hail from a little bit north of most of you in Victoria Bc Canada.
I wheel a 1985 toyota pickup 22re welded rear third, 63" chevy's in the back with a home brew revolver shackle, Custom built flat deck with dove tailed box and removable custom aluminum boat/lumber rack and beefy sliders . 35" M/T's on 15x8 steelies. I Have all of my high steer waiting to go in then lock up the front and dual cases, I also have all of the steel tubing to finish off an Exo
It is a work in progress but started as a cab and frame a little over a year ago.
bought this truck in october of last year as a bone stock truck with no box. I was on a major budget at the start so a cheap flat deck and some 31's is what it got first.
note the back left tire in the air.
I then found some 33x9.50's for cheap and did a minor spring lift in the front, shackles, 4runner rears, 2 inch blocks and a ubolt flip in the back and welded the Diff. I am a cheap basterd so i figured out that 1980 ford t-bird shocks work for the front and are 18.00$ a piece. Had some free scavanged pro
comps for the rear and relocated the mounts on top of the rear Housing. Flexed alot better.
The Deck was Annoying me because i couldn't just through stuff on it and have it stay there. so some sides were in order. found a super cheap length of 1 1/2 square tube and away i went. also made some aluminum pieces to plate in the side made a good trade and got them powder coated, and welded up an aluminum tail gate. I think it came out alright. a buddy of mine gave me the swing away carrier from his pathfinder, a few cuts and some welds and a spare tire carrier was born.
Also got some 33x12.5x15 MT/Rs did up some cheasy fender flares to keep the man out of my hair.
Had some spare time in the shop and decided that i wanted a boat/lumber rack so this is what i came up with not quite finished needs gussets and the hoop out over the cab but not bad for my first real attempt to build anything big out of aluminum
I needed a winch asap for a run we were going on was coming up so this is what 2 1/2 hrs can come up with
That is kind of the progression from day one hope that i will be able to wheel with some of you guys eventually
Cheers Bart
