whats up, new to the forum so i thot ide post up some pics of my 83 yota. its bagged obviously, slam re-7s in the front(had to cut a lot of crap out to get those in) and slam re-8s in the back. the frame holes have been welded up from the cab back, frame has been shortened 7.5 inches, antenna hole and mirrors have been shaved, its got chopper mirrors on it now. im puttin an 81 front end on it tomorrow(hopefully, if i dont have to work), not sure if i wanna run bedless or not, i was goin to which is why i shaved the bed mounts but now im sure what i wanna do anyways, enjoy the pics....

looks like you have a good start going so far, and bagged with 7's up front nice! Bedless is cool for a while till your driving to a show and it starts to rain hard, and then your rear tires are throwing even more rain back on the windshield. :lol: or depending on your local laws getting pulled over constantly about lack of tire covering.

Anyway nice start man, this site has kinda turned into a ghost town, but with a few more builds maybe we can breath some life in it again.

if i stay bedless, then im gonna mount some trailor fender over the tires, they will be mounted to the axle so they stay over the tire no matter what height im at and they move with the tire. yeah this forum doesnt look to active, but i like gettin on forums and seeing what other people are building

so progress has been a little bit slow. im out of money right now cause i havnt worked all week so hopefully i work a lot next week and i can get some money but anyways, i have done a few things. got the front passenger side bagged, still got to go back and cap the frame on both sides. also put my air gauge in, just need to get a black faced gauge to put in there instead and i relocated my air tank. ive decided to put a bed back on it because when my daughter is born in october, i want to be able to haul her and my gf around which is why ive put the bench seat back in. im gonna make a cargo area in the rear part of the bed and the airtank would take up room. so anyways heres a few pics....also got my why-wear sticker in

so, its been a little while since ive been on here so i thot ide give an update for those who cared. ive started puttin my engine back together now that i have everything i need so far. today i adjusted the timing chain, put the timing chain cover, head and rocker arm on. also got a new front bumper the other day(well it aint new but ya know what i mean). also my control arms should be here tomorrow so since i dont have to work tomorrow yet, im gonna finish up the metal work on the front so i bolt my control arms on and atleast be able to move my truck around. only thing left on the list is finish the motor, wiring and plumbing the air system, get a bed and mount it, get an exhaust built and get it inspected. then i can rail the shit out of it..now for a few pics...

hood isnt shut all the way, thats why theres a gap
