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
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.
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.
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
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
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

😂😂😂😂actually went back to watch the last video!😂😂😂😂
Yep. “Dummies together”!
Dandy video. I definitely learned a lot. The sentiment is right on.
Bad ass bro!!! Nice job!!! I own an 88 Toyota 22R 2.4L-5 speed pickup. It’s still kicking ass!!!
El mejor video que he visto gracias
Is there a tool you don't have?? Your garage is my dream garage!!!!! thanx for sharing

Please use jack stands instead of relying on the jack! Mine rolled right out once!
I like it. The wheels work has a good look 👌
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.
“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 ☠️
What way did you turn the torsion bars for lowering truck ? Please be detailed cause I'm confused on how to do that
this is exactly what im doin to my 93 toyota pickup truck..i got no budget for bags or expensive coilovers
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.
damn I dig it on those wheels! btw any plans for paint yet?

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

What brand of blocks are those ad where can I get them?
That was awesome!
can u do this on the 94 hilux 4x4?
Awesome.
I am new to this project. Is that VW truck in the background good to go?
How’s the alignment after the torsion crank ? Thinking about the same setup for my 92
Don't be a dick. Best advise ever
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
I'm curious why you removed the leaf spring? Is the necessary, or..??
Doesn't the rear shock geometry stay the same since you lowered the shock mount the same distance?
What brand for the shorter shocks?
Couldn’t you do a 4” block and not take the leaf spring out?
1st ever to comment! Great job man, cool truck!
Thank you
Do the crown Vic lug nuts work on the Toyota wheel studs?
Agreed!!! Don’t be a dick!
I feel you on static drop thing!!!
Where did you get the pinstripe decal?
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
Do you guys know if this’ll work with the 2nd gen Tacoma as well?
500 win!
this truck in florida 5k easy
👏🏼 Don’t be a Dick! - MiniTruckin
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
You ever painted or thought about painting a vehicle?
Yes Iv worked in body shops, mostly doing body work but I have some experience painting
