the tail gate has some dents thank you wal_mart

Just bought this and pulled it from a field for 600 bucks just need a new battery and cleaned up.

Bad@$$ Make sure to post lots of picks

ezaccesories.com 75 bucks a pair and it more of a wheel spacer than adapter I still have to do the six lug conversion to use them.

just got my wheel adapters in the mail today hopefully I will be able to pick up so new meats soon and get it mounted up will post pics as soon as the new tires are on.

working on it thinking about getting some 215/75/15 grabbers for it.

with a lift and fender flares i think it will look good

mcbrat is right with a body lift you need to extend everything that goes to the drivetrain.

no someone else was asking about my strut mount extentions and that was all icould come up with to show the principle of the angles.

This is a rough drawing of the front strut tower from the side angle.

nice job Beast

the rear was done by a friend That I bought the BRAT from, so for info on that you sould probably talk to "THE BOSS" or beast I drive on the forums. The strut towers I did Myself and yeah you just figure out the angles on the strut tower which I think is 15 degrees, and just drop the mounting surface the height of the lift. And its six inch Lift on mine. and yes they are factory CV joints

Well Here it is, my project I'm quite proud of it.

dude that wagon is awesome I think that is the epiphany of what a mountain rig is.

Well The problem is solved, so for anyone who searches this thread for answers my problems were that the guy who built the lift before i bought it did not compensate for strut mount angles, so the front strut was bound up. Also he clocked the rear torsion bars so the rear was about 3" higher than the front end, which in turn messed up the caster on the front end. After everything was done went for a test drive and got it to 70mph(downhill) not A wobble also the alignment must be good cuz it goes straight even with no hands on the wheel. I'm thrilled to have it on the road and running again.

yeah the rims i picked up have alot of offset plus one inch spacers i think i'll make it. plus i think i might go with 215/75/15 instead cuz i wont be doing strictly off road with it.

just found 6*5.5 to 6*5.5 1" thick for 75.00 a pair so I will prob buy a set from ezaccessories unless anyone has had bad dealing with these guys

if you adjust the torsion bars to get the lift you might get an unstable ride mine was clocked up when i got it and i couldnt go above 50 mph with out it feeling like i was gonna launch off the road. if you clock the back end up the camber is messed up.

whell the set i have to mock up with are 235/75//r15's so kinda thought that wout be the height i would like to have also do i absolutly need to switch to the d/r for the drive train to hold up if so I will prob wait till after I get one installed.

well I got all my camber and control issues worked out today, so on to the next project. I found some six lug toyota rims and tires and want to mount them. whats the best way to convert to a six lug, I heard I should drill it out because four lugs would not handle the amount of torque of any tire bigger than 26". Is this true? and if so where is the best place to get some wheel spacers for the rear, this is a gen1 lift so the torsion bars are in the way. also anyone know where to get some decent universal fender flairs.

well i installed the pieces i built for the front strut mounts and it sucked the top of the tires in a inch, So i guess compensating for the angles and lift are important. gonna tighten everything up and test drive tonight after the comes home. also how do i post photos do i need a online pic account?

when you find out pm me I'm thinking of doing this as well
