right on man yea you guys some really nice rigs i hope to have mine close to that one day but we'll see. Can you give me any good places that my truck could go play in around the area. The only trails i can find are on highway 90 between daphne and loxley. but none are all that challanging. So any suggestions would be great

[southalabama87]

I really don't know of anything across the bay. What kind of trails are on hwy. 90? Anything that could have potential with a little work?

[stev0454]

I'm pretty new to the sport like i said so we probally see potential differnetly but their isn't anything over here my stocky didn't make it though so probally not. but my body lift is on order so i'm trying to stay out of the mud till it gets here so i don't have to work with mud falling on me lol then i'm going on vacation for a week in gatlinburg tenn. But as soon as i get back i got some bills to pay and then my truck with hopefully have lots of good upgrades soon so maybe i'll be able to keep up with you guys.

when me and a buddy of mine were leaving a trail this guy stopped and said their was some good riding on county road 33. which is a lil east of fairhope i think. Haven't had a chance to check it out. Would have went that day but as we were driving out of the trail their was a big mud puddle and a 3/4" steel cable somehow blew up my buddies radiator fan. were are both still boggled about how that happend. well thats enough of that lata

Well if you need some help with that bodylift man hit me up. I went on several rides with lock it up offroad but usually don't have a trail truck mine never hold up and I sell them. But I have an 85 yota in the shop now.

I live in Baldwin county, and saw where someone knows about installing body lift.
Ive got 3 toyota 4x4, the one I am working on is 93 T-100 4x4. it has 2 inch suspension lift, 33x12.5 tires, and I was wanting to install 2" body lift.
Do I have to cut shift arms, cut radiator shroud, and all that stuff? Is it hard to do? I want to do it right, but dont want to do a bunch of cutting, welding, and rigging to get it done. new tires are a bit tight, even with 2" suspension already on it. 2" body lift would finish me up, if not too involved. Andy comments you can share, to let me know what I am up against? fairly mechanically inclined, just lazy I guess.
Thanks.

For a 2" BL you should have to deal with other then the BL itself:
1) The radiator mounts, to leave radiator in stock position
2) The brake hard lines on the firewall (just uncoil them a bit)
3) Lengthen the steering shaft
4) Engine ground strap (to the firewall)
5) Reposition the fuel filler neck.
6) If it's an automatic then you'll need to lengthen the shift linkage

Most BL kits will come with all the parts you need to do it.
