I have an old Yamaha YZ built up for the woods. It was a little 125 but now its a 144. Low gearing, all new suspension etc etc. Its so much fun to just toss it around in the tight stuff. My main bike is an XR600 thats also all built up. Its my main bike. Cant get rid of the two stroke though, because its too much fun. It will be nice not to have to pull out the ramp anymore, or search for a pile of dirt to back up to. Hopefully I dont get stuck on any dirt roads with a 5-6 drop. I guess we'll find out!

I have only seen a few that were custom (Home) built, but not from a Specialty Shop!
NICE Truck, by the way!!!!! There's a Nice Dually that is Lowered to the ground here where I live and I used to think it was absurd, but appreciate the time and effort it took to do it and still be quite useable!!! Some DO know how to customise without skimping!!!
Again..........NIIIIIIIIIIIICE TRUCK!!!!

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?

Finally got my 78 Scottsdale lowered. Its a beater, but its fun to drive. Came down about 5" in the front and about 7.5" in the rear. The back is a little too low but I have some air shocks coming next week that will give me some control over the height in the back. Right now the back is lower than the front. Im happy with it overall. I need some smaller tires. Mine are 235/75R15 right now. No rubbing issues at all, but the front ones look a little funny because of the size. Also a smaller front tire will give me a little more drop which will look good. Its got LOTS of clearance underneath. Its about the same ride height as my Chrysler 300c. I could lower it another 2 inches and still be able to drive it without worrying about hitting things. The only thing that sucks is trying to put gas in it. The filler is so low now that you almost have to sit on the ground to pump the gas! haha.

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?

I LOVE that stance............if it were mine The stock wheels/caps and all the rest (Just right) would be my dream look! Sleeper style put a few bucks into the interior and leave the patina'd, "old" look!!!! Head turner for sure!!!
Just my 2 cents!!!
Super look in my opinion!!

Lookin good! How did you lower it, you use a kit? I just lowered mine about that much a few weekends ago, but now my driveshaft is all out of whack...do you have any problems with your driveline since the drop?
