Finishing up the Coilover Conversion on Our 1981 Toyota Trekker - Four Wheeler Network
We attacked the axles of our ’81 Toyota Trekker in Part One of “Import Upgrades” (Mar. Our truck started with many of the common popular aftermarket Toyota solid-axle improvements, and we were able to retain many of these components during the buildup of our all-terrain-eating Toyota. In this installment, we’ll focus on how the Mayhem Metal Works three-link front suspension comes together. The heart of the Mayhem Metal Works link suspension kit for Toyota 4x4s is the crossmember/skidplate assembly. It has all of the link mounts built in, providing you with a great starting point when fabricating a custom link suspension at home. The kit utilizes a double-triangulated four-link in the rear, and a three-link with a track bar up front. The Mayhem Metal Works suspension kit is designed for doing a solid-axle swap on later-model IFS Toyota trucks. The suspension kit is designed for an IFS truck. We originally hoped to fit 16-inch-travel shocks up front, but they just wouldn’t fit without poking them through the hood and moving other components. We settled on some 14-inch-travel, 21?2-inch-diameter King coilover shocks and coils we ordered from Off Road Evolution. Source: www.fourwheeler.com
