Well everyone . . . Got I finally finished my 87' ( except for paint ) Some of you are familiar with the progress of my ride and have probably helped me out a time or two, or followed my forum @ toyotaminis! First off, Thank You, to all those who helped me collect the parts and the right suppliers for my ride, totally appreciated. This job was done by me and my brother in law, We finished it in about 3 weeks, Ide work all day then we would head out after dinner and work for 3 - 4 hours a night & when he was working I would tackle the beast, Anyways, This is a CANDO specialties four-link ( reverse config. ), the front bag brackets are also from CANDO, the gas tank is in stock location and I am using a 6" step notch, 1 1/4" tubing for shock towers & misc. ( more pics to come later - stay tuned, to busy driving it seems ), I am running Airlift Dominators 6" in front and 7" in back, Doetsch shocks in the back only right now, The compressors are 200 psi cap. Viair dual 380's and it is plumbed into a 7 gallon steel air tank ( for now ) with all brass fittings. I am using 8 - 3/8" SMC valves, and 1/2" DOT airline witha 7 switch toggle control box ( FBSS ), the power is supplyed via a 150 amp H.O. ALT. & 8 gauge wiring. I also have 4 - 1/2" check valves on all the outlets on the tank to take care of any backfeed. All in all, not a hackjob, all good parts, nice welds and I undercoated everything in the backhalf, except for the upper and lower link bars, they are painted bright Ceramic Red, all hardware was grade 5 or better. I do have a new fiberglass valance to put on the front, will get that done sometime this week, itll allow me to almost touch the ground in front when the azz is in the air, itll be about an inch from my measurements. I do not plan to body drop or Z as of yet, but, I will say addiction has got me to this point so who knows. I also, do not have a raised crossmember yet, So I have to drive cautiously !Paint will come this winter when Im not drivig her and then Ill add the rest of the chrome goodies I have stashed and make a new fiberglass box that will go between the new bucket seats Im covering with new material, dash will get fiberglassed over and maybe a sunroof. But, for now, Im cruising and having fun, Enjoy the pics and thanks again guys . . .

Wanna sell it? JJ (but if the price is right......) I have a soft spot for 1987 Toyotas. I allready have two of them but one's a 4x4 and the other is an MR2, so I am looking for the 2wd for the collection!
