My Free Toyota Hilux

[Meyagi]

got this for $free.99, runs and drives great, has some rust issues on the frame i need to address, but for off road use, its gonna be awesome! Prob gonna lift it 3" more, and a buddy is giving me some 37" hummer tires. I might pull the rear diff and the front pig out and weld lock the diffs, since im never gonna drive it on the street..... Over all, im happy, cant beat free!!

the rust "issue". this is the worst spot, and i need to fix it before it breaks in half LOL

You lucky bastid.

The frame rot blows, but who cares, weld it and wheel it.

 

[SUBARUDE]

i don't see how you got it on the lift with out it breaking in half

 

[saabaru]

Free, awesome. Fix it up and beat the daylights out of it.

those little trucks are so cool....is that the IFS or solid....a solid swap would be cool but theres prob nothing left to weld on!!!!

Top Gear tried to kill one. Even after spending a night in the ocean it was able to start without any new parts (just a lot of time/work getting it to crank).

You lucky bugger!

ahem...frame appears to ALREADY be broken (and welded at least once)

 

[stiXXX]

Broken once, yes.

[Impreza05]

Tis but a scratch.

 

[Meyagi]

it will buff out lol

gonna get the metal to fix the frame soon, im gonna have to make custom wheels for the 16.5 hummer tires, but i dont think that will be a big deal.....

Stay tuned!

I have some extended shock mounts (weld on) and ball joint spacers for that age truck. They greatly improve the front travel without cranking the T-bars (and you probably couldn't now if you wanted to)

I think I have some steel wheels too. Shoot me a PM I will give you a good price (unless you have something cool to trade)

 

[Meyagi]

^^ PM'ed, thanks for bringing that up!

did some more work today, custom fab ftw!

my room mates jeep haha i motivated him to fix the broken u joint

hard to see, but i extended the rear shackles 4"

blacked out grille and angry eyes lol

tomorow night i think im gonna drop the tank and tackle fixing the frame......

 

[Impreza05]

Nice XJ

 

[boxer3main]

free.

I shoulda got my sube for free... too elusive.

I'd tackle that frame with joy, rather than tackle a subaru tunnel and rear subframe combo...

I did have a choice of sticking to another project...blah. I won't complain.

I have 6 lug alloys still sitting around with 30 inch goodyear "something expensive."

4 of them and a spare wheel.. 75 bucks.

Someone buy them, I have a two core radiator fund going too slow.
