Rebuilding an old truck…
I’ve been thinking a whole lot about the post I made a while back, and have decided to stick with the vehicle I have. The truck is just too cheap to maintain, too reliable, and I’ve grown pretty attached to it. So, instead of starting over on a whole new project, I’m going to put the money in the Toyota.
The plan will be to totally go through everything from the ground up. I’ll start with the axles, since they are in need of the most attention at this point. It has some leaky seals and could use a brake upgrade and hopefully some locking differentials as well. I’m going to plan on going with a full locking differential in the rear axle, and a selectable locker in front, but if I can find a couple of factory e-lockers for a good price with matching gear ratios I’ll definitely jump on that. Selectable locking differentials (especially in the front axle) will lessen strain on drivetrain components by acting as an open differential under normal conditions, but at the push of the button I’ll have a fully locked up differential that will not allow a tire to spin seperately of the other side. For a vehicle of the type I am building this is ideal.
Brake upgrades will include the common vented rotor and ifs caliper swap for the front axle, with a newer dual reservoir master cylinder to help squeezing them. The rear axle is a toss up at this point, because I will be swapping in a wider IFS rear axle with bigger drum brakes. I would like to swap to disc brakes in the rear, but I will only do it if I can get it done with a parking brake that will keep the original parking brake cable. I’ve used after market transfer case parking brakes before and I won’t do it again.
Suspension will get some upgrades, I’m looking for around three inches maximum of lift. I’d like to run two sets of tires. Wide 35’s in maybe Toyo flavor, for the trail and then keep the 33′ MT/R’s for the rest of the time. Most likely I’ll go with Chevy 1/2 ton springs in the rear and then swap the rear springs to the front axle after I add a couple of extra leaves to the pack. New shocks and a u-bolt flip kit will finish it off.
