The last part of this video has very good advice, respect all builds no matter how big or small budget they are, the key is having fun and enjoying what you have :)
1991 Tyrota! The highest lowrider at my high school......Loved that ride! Cops hated it! There were 3 in the immediate area. Two medium reds and a black one. We would swap wheels frequently. I gained alot of points on my license in that mini. It was always during the day and for dumbshit....sinning tires, stop signs were a suggestion, left turns on a late yellow, pretty much red as front wheels crossed the line. But at night.....nope. All any of had to do was make it to a cloverleaf exit ramp and they never had a chance. The old boxy caprice classics were total slugs in turns.
A tip on how to pinstripe your rims without using a pinstriper. Spray the outer lip what ever color you want and when it dries get some 3M Blue Fine line tape. It's about 1/8 of a inch. Run the tape on the outer lip and then spray the rim what ever color you want. Let it dry then peel off the tape and you have a "pinstriped" rim.
When I had my hardbody I put a 2" & 3" blocks together for the back with 1 leaf spring n took the torsion bars off completely n it drove good for a 5" drop
Maybe a new project idea for you but do a hardbody and do stock floor and stock frame on air ride laying frame and do 4 link with using the stock front leaf spring hangers
How do they ride on blocks?? Decent or is it a pain lol , just got my first mini a 89’ toyota can’t wait to do some mods to it definitely wanna lower it tho
Like everyone else, awesome build. Could you provide the size of tires you used ? Also do you think the rims would rub in the front ( upper control arm grease fitting) if your truck wasn’t lowered? Thanks.
tools imma na buy tmrw: methane/lpg torch, 12ton jack stands, 2 sets of 3" to become 6" blocks, 2000 - 5000grit sandpaper for my headlights restoration, paint&clearcoat, and set of punch rods for my k20swap ek hatch.
watched ur vid and dropped my 85 yota mini. what shocks would u recommend for a stiff ride on a 4" block and torsion rod drop? my rear is bouncy AF. thanks
How do we fast forward to the future? Would like to see the juice and body drop. Was good to see ya and bs for 2 minutes while eating that BBQ on Saturday
Ok. Didn't know there was multiples. Just thought it was a 1 time thing. I'm gonna watch the previous episode again and hopefully take part this time in the no dick but fun get together

Couldn't agree more.
12:29 butt cheek squeezed when you went under the truck without stands
“Don’t be a dick , we are all in this together .” 👏🏻🤘🏻

I just picked up my first mini truck after 25+ years. This video brought me back to my childhood. Thsts a sweet yota
Great video!! Here I was thinking I had to spend all this money to lower my 98 Taco 2-3 inches and you come up with this!! Seriously?! Great job!!
Dandy video. I definitely learned a lot. The sentiment is right on.
I love those old hilux 1993 was my favorite
😂😂😂😂actually went back to watch the last video!😂😂😂😂
Yep. “Dummies together”!

“In the last video, I misspelled engine because I’m a dummy but none of you dummies even notice, so we are dummies together” lol got me ☠️

I like it. The wheels work has a good look 👌
good job,i have a 1998 toyota and i would like make the same thing , but where i can fid the lowering kit you present ?
Maybe a new project idea for you but do a hardbody and do stock floor and stock frame on air ride laying frame and do 4 link with using the stock front leaf spring hangers
Is there a tool you don't have?? Your garage is my dream garage!!!!! thanx for sharing
great video
El mejor video que he visto gracias
Bro literally 2 years ago you is me rn. I’m working on my Toyota mini truck and I have a 1959 VW beetle 😂😂😂
What way did you turn the torsion bars for lowering truck ? Please be detailed cause I'm confused on how to do that
How do they ride on blocks?? Decent or is it a pain lol , just got my first mini a 89’ toyota can’t wait to do some mods to it definitely wanna lower it tho

Yup👍🏽 #dontbeadick we all need to start somewhere👍🏽
I am new to this project. Is that VW truck in the background good to go?
tools imma na buy tmrw: methane/lpg torch, 12ton jack stands, 2 sets of 3" to become 6" blocks, 2000 - 5000grit sandpaper for my headlights restoration, paint&clearcoat, and set of punch rods for my k20swap ek hatch.
damn I dig it on those wheels! btw any plans for paint yet?
Just bought a 98 Tacoma yesterday. Hope to start working on soon... Oh yeah I'm 42
I'm 45, and life happens... I just picked up 94. Finally in the mini truck game.
Thank you very helpful! 👍
Super nice build man
What brand of blocks are those ad where can I get them?
Please use jack stands instead of relying on the jack! Mine rolled right out once!
Can I buy the front bump stops if you still have them
That was awesome!
How’s the alignment after the torsion crank ? Thinking about the same setup for my 92
I'm curious why you removed the leaf spring? Is the necessary, or..??
Awesome.
What brand for the shorter shocks?
1st ever to comment! Great job man, cool truck!
Thank you
can u do this on the 94 hilux 4x4?
Doesn't the rear shock geometry stay the same since you lowered the shock mount the same distance?
Do the crown Vic lug nuts work on the Toyota wheel studs?
this is exactly what im doin to my 93 toyota pickup truck..i got no budget for bags or expensive coilovers
watched ur vid and dropped my 85 yota mini. what shocks would u recommend for a stiff ride on a 4" block and torsion rod drop? my rear is bouncy AF. thanks
Couldn’t you do a 4” block and not take the leaf spring out?
Where did you get the pinstripe decal?
How do we fast forward to the future? Would like to see the juice and body drop. Was good to see ya and bs for 2 minutes while eating that BBQ on Saturday
You should come out to the bash this Saturday
This is the 1st I've heard of it. I'll look into it.
@@burtmichaels2676 I posted the link for it on the ziptie Facebook tonight, come on out
Ok. Didn't know there was multiples. Just thought it was a 1 time thing. I'm gonna watch the previous episode again and hopefully take part this time in the no dick but fun get together
What year is your truck??.
I'm lowering a 1998 toy. Tacoma
96
Do you guys know if this’ll work with the 2nd gen Tacoma as well?
I hope you see this but I’m currently working on dropping my taco and need to know where did u get those blocks from to make ur truck lower?
Belltech
Is that a Toyota L Diesel engine I see in the background?
Yes sir
@@ziptiediaries9038 you plan on doing anything with it? I’ve got an 83 with the same engine
@@TonyTguerrero I might put it in a 74 hilux that I have at some point
