repost, but thought you might want to see how it sits now. i removed the overload springs in the back, but everything else is stock. even the driveshafts have been working fine.

That is awesome! Do you have a close up pic of your rear tire clearance to the body?

That thing's awesome. It's got the Texas Cadillac look to it.

nope, but will get one for you. it's a homefab dual swingout. nothing on the other side yet.

I think Bull was interested in the tire clearance from the body, but I am interested in your tire carrier setup.

nice! I couldnt tell in the picture if you did shackle reversal or not. and what did you do with the rear sway bar? And I just bought my first troopy,its an 81, does anyone know why toyota kept the drum brakes up front. It really suprised me.

 

[missipboy]

yeah, the drums suck. i went to four wheel disc. i extended the swaybars and they really help alot with the top on, but with the top off, i'm thinking i'll just leave em' disconnected.

 

[troopy]

Mine is the soft top version so I would probably be o.k. trying It without the sway bar first.
I have also been wondering how many troopy's were soft tops vs. hard. Do you have any idea?

 

[missipboy]

no idea, but i sure would like to see a pic of yours with the soft top on.
