rear body mounts

[J Mack]

Can one of you 80 frame swap guys tell me why you don't cut those rear spring buckets loose and relocate them lower?

Seems like it would be way easier than building a body lift and trying to fill all the gaps.

@J Mack

lowtideride did, but you still end up with drivetrain fitment issues and need some height for running gear. Or at least Deo and I did with the 2UZs. He ended up with a body lift after all the work to drop the buckets. Might not be an issue with a inline motor? I couldn’t lower the engine anymore without maybe some low profile headers? and the top of the trans/Tcase is still very close to the body.

And you just gave yourself a 1-2” lift moving the bucket down. Less spring options at that point.

And you need some height to run bigger tires with the width anyway.

And I think my body placement is fine.

And self care first is what my therapist tells me.

So you need a body lift to fit a factory engine and suspension on a factory frame?

And yes you’re pretty big shooter, I wasn’t criticizing just asking the question.

Don’t get your feelers hurt and start canceling orders for your parts because I asked a question.

yes.

But the 1) factory body and 2) factory engine and 3) factory frame were never made to be bolted together at any factory

100 series factory engine on 80 series factory frame plus a 55 series factory body...

 

[PabloCruise]

yes.

The fine cats at Toyota never conceived of the factory in your mind!

I thought he was your favorite mean, drunk uncle...

(keep on topic please)

 

[TachedOutOffRoad]

.... in your mind!

not always a good thing!

Is the 100 straight axle?

 

[TachedOutOffRoad]

Is the 100 straight axle?

No sir

 

[PabloCruise]

Is the 100 straight axle?

No.

But, seat warmers...

 

[J Mack]

No sir

Instead of your one or two word answers then complaining about being body lift shamed, maybe a little more info on the front side would prevent me from asking you hurtful questions.

No.

But, seat warmers...

Thank you TJ!

Yea, that TachedOutoffroad is so easily offended!

Me, cutting those buckets out looked way too much. Especially after hearing how arduous the task was! I’m just a lazy guy. With just the right amount of scared!

The 100 was IFS, but the 105 offered outside the US had the same radius arm front as the 80 and 70.

What is difference between 105 and 110 series?

 

[Megadoomer]

I didnt know there was a 110.
