Yep, and that's why nothing has been done. I'm just gonna ride it like it is until I can't anymore.

Like always, I say I'm coming, but it will depend on the wallet.
BH Dialing in your suspension is the last thing you want to do once all your work is done, otherwise you'll end up with a rig that is perfectly setup for the weight it USED to be. Cut first, Calculate later

Lorena is at a crossroads right now. She wheels like no other junk I've ever owned. Even WALKED every obstacle the GAP could throw at her this weekend.(A wongfield (chinese birf) blew though).
But either I'm going to have to get rid of her, scrap her body completely, or get smaller tires.
- I don't want smaller tires, i actually want 39.5 stickies.
- I want to stay toyota. i'd be cool as hell to have an 80-buggy similiar to an ftoy
- If I sold her, I'd go D60/14bolt/350/atlas/4-link type buggy... basically no longer a yota.
I've got the summer to decide what to do. I'll most likely be wheeling her as-is for the rest of the year until I can save more money to go any of the above directions...

so what exactly is wrong with her as she sits now, tires rubbing body?

She's a heavy heifer.
And the body structure isn't truly secure for a hard roll-over. Plus, she's a filthy girl who hates birfs.
If I was to remove the sheetmetal, I'd leave the firewall, remove the top padded dash, narrow the engine bay, then tube. I'd also go to coil-overs or air shocks and 3-link the front.
Buy some Longfields so can wheel w/o breaking and then stay the course.
I know you saw this and shunt yo'self.

I helped with building that! I did more pointing, but was there the first weekend of tube. That curved dash... That's me!
I may be trying to steal lenny's shop for a while when that fateful time comes to tube...
