Ill play.
I parked up on this bank today and Mrs D got some pics of my awesome flex!!
Keep in mind that my front and rear springs and shackles are the ones that were fitted back in 1986 at the Yota factory. The rear shocks are from the same factory, and the front shocks cost me 10bucks at a garage sale.
I think I really need to do RUF, and move the front diff forward. It looks a bit too close in this pic.
Image

OH YEAH!!! Thats huge flex. :lol:
Image

And front flexing away like a puny white kid.
Image

RUF and IFS rears coming very soon.

That was before^^^^^^^^

These are my most recent pics.... Recabbed body, stock height IFS rears, load leaves cut shorter, 200mm rear shackles, inverted 10inch Bilsteins. Front suspension and steering still stock standard(for now).

The front seems to work pretty good for stock gear.
