Cheap kind of prerunnerish truck

[howdiy]

I think I'm gonna make this truck to drive fast through fields and maybe hit small jumps.

I don't have much money.

What would you guys do?

I was thinking maybe adding double shocks to the front and putting a taller and stiffer front spring in. But what about the rear?

3/4 ton big block 1988

Would 30 inch tires look retarded?

There only 50 bucks and have tread

The current tires are completely bald

The frame and both axle housings won't take well to jumping the truck.

Trusses are inexpensive to make and will really help the housings survive.

Reinforcing (or boxing) the frame is relatively inexpensive too.

Yeah, keep the suburban as a daily driver and buy an old Turd Ranger with the IFS. Those are great for jumping and you can tow it with the Sub.

2wd toyota = jump truck

Well it was going to go to the scrap yard

BB needs a new timing chain. I pulled everything and all I need to do is put one on. It still has 250k miles though.

I guess I can always try to make into a 4wd. Thats what the previous plan was but it seems like a lot of work. It would be much nicer than my current truck though.

conversions are done all the time lol usually because the 2wd models are in such nice shape.
