Buddy called me, said he had a buddy with a Toyota that just got destroyed in the woods. Said "I know a feller that knows somethin' about these things."
Here she is, 90-something Yoyo, stock everything, lift blocks rear, hacked up radius arm/HP D44 axle in the front. Even has the Yoyo struts suspending it.

Here's the radius arms, they stuffed the end in a 45'd piece of square tube, then proceeded to use 2x2x1/8" angle to make it even more ghetto. Then stuffed a bung and a cute little 3/4" dirt track heim in, and sheeted the whole thing with thin treadplate. They made a bracket by welding a nice Ballistic or such and such fab SAS kit tabs to what I'm guessing is a mix of 3/16" and 1/8" flat bar, then welding it all together with a stick welder with wet rods.

Stuffed a new TEMPORARY dirt track heim in the broke one-

I made a new bracket for the rear out of 1/4" flat bar and the old SAS brackets-

That's all I'm gonna do until he comes up with more money, I did this much for a 44 lb. spool of welding wire and still feel like I got fawked. There's lots more scary things on there needing fixed, like the front pinion has about 1/8" of play, build a longer front driveshaft, build the other radius arm bracket, build 2 new radius arms, and this-

And I bet he gave a good $$$ for that truck being a "SAS Tacoma TRD" :puke:


Does he wanna sell it? Might be interested...
 
Hell, i'd cut everything from the framerails down off and start over... (and use some axles thar are worth a damn and don't have :afro: brakes on them)

I'd give like $1200 for it :flipoff1:
 
After seeing some of the previous hack work, I kinda want to put this over in the Ghetto Fab/Hack Jobs thread on Pirate!

What did the owner have to say when you started pointing out all the hacktastic stuff on this truck?

Doesn't REALLY surprise me though, I've seen some morons around here build some hack ****, and even more moronic people purchase the abortions. :wtflol:

He's just a kid, maybe 20? Man, he was tore up. I told him to save his pennies, we'd get it right. He was freakin' RELIEVED that someone was willing to help. :'(

And I think the 8k is trying to cover his losses on the cherry TJ he got fawked out of on the deal. :****:
