Last month we brought you the beginning of the ultimate Toyota rockcrawler buildup, outlining the interior cage, rear suspension, and drivetrain. This month we’ll focus on the interior, steering, and axles. We’ll also show you some of the front suspension, but as we’ll explain later, the finished design is somewhat different than what you’ll see here.
Since last month, the gang at All Pro finished the chrome-moly cage and set to working on making the interior and necessary components as Spartan as possible in the interests of functionality, ease of servicing, and light weight. As for the axles, stock Toyota pieces of various origins were stuffed with tried and true Detroit Lockers and assembled. The rest, as you’ll see from the photos and captions, is beginning to resemble a pretty serious trail killin’ machine.
For the finished version of the front suspension, as well as the body, fuel and cooling systems, and other odds and ends, you’ll have to tune in next month!
