Hi Bitches

My name is Mike Shaw and I am addicted to Toyotas and offroading.I have a 83 Yota pickup on 33 TsLs.I also have a bone stock 87 runner that hopefully one of these days will have it SaSed on 35s.Hopefully Ill have some pics posted up in the next few weeks of the truck after I get back from some wheeling in winthrop area.

ok got some pics uploaded of my shit

That's betta

You needs ta get some Saturdays off...or maybe we need to go out on a Sunday

Yeah its almost impossible to get a saturday of with the company I work for unless its a holiday or someone dies but I'm free most sundays,and alternating wednesdays and mondays.


I hope the trucks holds up Im still having tire clearance issues on it can't seem to get the right backspaced wheels for it so I'm got to order up some spacers from TG or somewhere to see if I can push them out a bit further.The scrub radius on the wheels I have on it now seems to be fine but at full lock they keep rubbing my drag link and leafsprings.
So I'm hoping with a set of 1.5" spacers it should solve it on the fronts with the rears I got my eyes open for an Ifs rear.to solve the rear rub at full stuff.

Wassup Shaw. (redneck? your about as redneck as a pink poodle)

truck looks good. Now we just need to help you put some dents in it.

dude I once sold turnips out of the back of a pick up truck and fished with a cane pole when I was younger.Small town North Cackalacky.Now tell me that aint redneck

if your having clearance issues cut here


so ill just delete the "monkey" accnt then.

Nah Im fine there big fuckig hammer took care of that the inner lugs of the tire are rubbing on the leafsprings at full lock .The left front is barely rubbing on my draglink at full lock.Im so close to getting it.Im pretty sure the spacers will get it.

I'm using IFS hubs and brakes on my mom's front to get etra width. F spacers...

how much more width are those then?

1.5"s per side

You need a few other parts as well...I just realized I need to order longer studs. lol

pretty good writeup after you wade through the bitchfest...here

Nah that just makes you a hillbilly

THIS SUNDAY! COME WITH, MR. MIKE! Dosn't look like I'll be carrying >that< bumper around in my bed like your old rear one!

yeah I finally found real steel now i need to mock up some for my pickup cause right now i dont think i have any hookup points in the rear so i might just put a temporary setup on it this week just incase I need to pull or be pulled.

Yeah 10 Am will work for me.


So for my front bumper I think I want to do a tube bumper out of maybe 1.5" dom tubing.I just have no way of bending it.I think I heard one of you has a bender and If so what dies do you have and whats the deepest bend you can do maybe 180 degrees?

Hippy has a sick bender with only one die.. not sure what size. I have a portable harbor freight bender with a fuck load o' dies that's currently up at Hippys place.. I can bring the correct die if you tell me what the tube diameter is and you are welcome to use it. I havent done more than a 90 with it but I think it'll go a bit further..180 may be pushin it..

My die is for 1.5" OD Tube, I can go up to 110* or so. Why would you need to go 180*? Boner bar?

Nah that should be more then enough I dont want a gay ass stinger on there.I dont ever plan on doing any endos with it and no Lonny incidents either. I got to pick up a piece of angle for my winch mount and a couple sticks of tubing then I'll try to scetch out what I want it to look like.Nothing to extreme but enough to protect my headlights.

Cool, let me know...we can prolly discuss it more on sunday

Got a flex shot for ya



And was gonna head up past Index and ran into this


Fucking road is washed out.And i couldn't tell for how far because looks like the river is running down the road

just read its been closed for a few years now but still the first time Ive seen it.From what I read its washed out in 8 or 9 places and supposed to start work on it in late 2010

wow

Yeah we couldn't get thru the snow a month or so a go.

I'll PM you my address

If you take the road to the right just before that washout there is some fun wheelin and mines and camping and tree and bears and stuff.. Thats where my girl and I go all the time.
