Truck information

For those who are interested, the following is information about my vehicle of choice. It serves me well for both offroading as well as a 'daily driver'.

A big thank-you to the gentlemen at Off Road Solutions for their pre-sales consulting, and their conscientious, accurate and reliable work to install the lift and suspension mods. Current equipment includes:

1995 early-year 4x4 Toyota "Mini" pickup SR5V6 Ext cab, 3VZ-E engine
stock 4.56 gears
33x10.50-15 BFG AT KOs
4" Superlift with 5" rear leaf springs
Old Man Emu torsion bars cranked 1"
Total Chaos idler arm and uniball conversion
Rancho steering stabilizer
55w halogen fogs, LED flashlight with mounts, homemade skid plate, a sleeping pad mounted in place of the passenger seat
Homemade fender-mounted mud guards to hide the gap ( both front and rear visible in post-lift #3 )
Smittybilt front and rear tubular bumpers

approach angle: 53°, departure angle: 35°, breakover / ramp-over angle: 36.3° (143.6° for the complement)
running ground clearance: 10.5" (rear diff) / 12.0" (front support arms)
clearance to rocker panel, frame: 26.5, 24.0

mods on the agenda ( order approximate; timeline: perhaps sometime before gas hits $5/gal ): fire extinguisher, power inverter, toyota e-locker rear, rock sliders, 200 amp alternator, winch, ARB locker front, mounted laptop
