Hello all,
Firstly excuse me if im posting in the wrong section of expo
Relatively new to the the bohemian Toyota motor home world.
I picked up an 85 Toyota Sunrader for $1500 last year only intending to use it for a couple of week at burning man and sell it on.
It had been left up for years so was in rough shape. but no rust and engine was good apart for clutch, hoses, tires etc.
anyways i developed a soft spot for the old girl and hence the restoration.
shes nearly back in pristine shape after extensive work mostly on the inside and rewiring.
It has the old 5 lug dully axle that never got recalled so i want to change it out ASAP.
I need to know options for axle's
Possible Plan:
Change axle to 1 ton single axle if possible ( Dont want to deal with so many tires and spares )
Lift it 2-4 Inches (Body lift)
Increase tire size
possible conversion to 4x4 if i still have it in a few years and wanted to invest the cash.
Question is what axle could i use that wont break the bank??
Needs to be 1 ton ,cheap and second hand
Have option for a locker or posi
Any info would much be appreciated.
