Build Rocklander 77-series build

[mjw4]

Even though it may make your job tougher I say stay with the narrow nose, brings more character to the front. I also may be biased lol

Knuckle balls headed your way.

I added some of my inner axle seal cups to the package. I don't think ruffstuff offers this option, but I recommend them if they can be used in their housing, especially for a crawler build.

Cheers and have a good weekend.

Also have my 80 Series rear FF 4340 CrMo axles if interested. PM me for pricing.

I just so happen to have these laying around the shop.

Hard to show it in a picture but the front leaves are assssssss! The whole assembly is not straight under the Cruiser, same in the rear but in the opposite direction!

pretty sure that old lift was a 4plus shackle reversal
shackle should be on the front from factory i believe

 

[OGBeno]

Shackle reversals need to die…. Forever.

 

[SNLC]

Trust me this is not 4plus, MAF or any other US company. It is 100% some bolt on JDM horsepoop. The leaves are super funky.

It is “good and soft” I will give it that. I won’t be trusting my life on it!

Despite the steering issues, I would say you’re pretty lucky to just have an original steering wheel. That seems to be a rare commodity on a lot of JDM Cruisers.

Hello,

x2.

They seem to love wooden steering wheels.

I wonder where do all those original wheels end up.

For the springs, have you ever worked with Boise Spring Works? I've been considering getting some springs made there just for the convenience of having it local.

I believe that wheel is available new from Toyota.

All steering wheels found on 7x trucks after 1990 are still available for purchase from Toyota.

The suspension is like I say ass. Rear axle is not centered side to side due to this.

It’s only going to be approximately 2” wider per side than this. It has roughly a 2” wheel spacer on it, I am too lazy to pull a wheel and see exactly what they are. I was wrong too, the wheels are 16” steelies not 17”.

I am about to pull the dorky old Hellas or whatever they are!

37’s though, 2” wider per side, not much taller. Going to be super sick!!
