Vehicle: '91 Toyota pickup
Owner: Tim Odell
Tires: 33x14.50-15 SuperSwamper SSR
Wheels: 15x10 Eagle Alloy
Front Suspension: Straight-axle conversion using 4-inch lift leaf springs
Rear Suspension: Re-arched springs and blocks
Engine: 22RE
Transmission: W56 five-speed
Transfer Case: Geardrive 21-spline
Front Axle: '85 Toyota solid axle with 4.10 gears
Rear Axle: '91 Toyota solid axle with 4.10 gears and welded spider gears
Advantages: A true daily driver/weekend warrior trail Toyota. Homemade fabrication that could work as well as a professional job after a few bugs get worked out
Drawbacks: Homemade front shackles allowed so much droop that the front driveshaft kept pulling apart. Crawl ratio with 4.10 gears and stock transfer case means limited lifespan for Toyota clutches
