So i got my 86 back in may2010 and have slowely been doing things to it. Started on 225/70R15 when i got it from my girlfriends dad then i swaped to some 235/75R15 on white steels that he had as spares then got some 31s, then 32s and now on 35s. hopefully soon it will be on a d44 and 9" if i can come up with the funding by spring time. on to the pics.

and this is almost how she sits now other then the fact i have trimmed the entire factory flare off the front and soon will be doing the rear.

Future plans are a rear bumper with integrated hitch and recovery points and a front bumper with hitch and recovery points. also would like to get some skyjacker leveling coils to bring the front end up to level again. lots to come but will be slow progress.

thanks, im in the process now of deciding if i want to go fw d44 or just swap a d35 in and keep on some what ok terms with the cops in my town. im one of a couple rbv's in walla walla, everyone here is all about sas toyota's on 39s.
 
Well got a impact gun for Christmas and decided to test it out by finally pulling the spare tire mount off. Works freakin great!

So a couple weeks ago I got the back half of my radius arm bushings done, couldn't get the front pulled all the way forward with out tearing the whole thing apart. It drives so much better now! I also had the day off on Saturday so I went up and played a bit in the snow.
Here is how bad the bushings were.
