Lower Control Arm.it is nasty,









Second day wheelin the runner.works SICK!









Not to Shabbay!


Represent!




A burnt down Ford Explorer was a good first test of the new setup



unreal what it is capable of.im still waiting for my diffs to be done.thinking of trading my revo 3.3 for my diffs to be built.the clutch will thank me.got some death wobble goin on.previous owner of the axle welded on new perches.the passenger side is moved in.wondering if that can cause it due to the location of the perch.thinking of putting in a lower perch to keep the spacing even..

Coming back with another solid axle swap..I rolled the 4runner awhile back and purchased this bad boy for a screamin deal.As of tomorrow after noon,The truck is going under the knife.

The fun continues

Choose your own adventure

Day 2:Note to self,When fatigue sets in it is time to stop.Grind,grind,grind was the theme for today.The frame is smooth awaiting shock mounts while thenPassenger side frame tube is welded in..Early start tomorrow,Driver side frame tube needs to be welded in so the axle can be rolled under and bolted up.The the rear end will be worked on,Easy as there is only four mounts that have to be ground..Fun Fun Fun!!!

Took the 4runner out this evening..Its been 6 months since driving a Sas'd truck so it is going to take a little getting used to it again.Having Iroks that are at 6psi from the last day of wheelin,the ride was interesting..The rear shock mounts need to be fabbed up as the exhaust intersects where a tube would go across which will help with the slinkyness.All in all doing a sas in a litte over a week in the driveway is fun.Small things and fine tuning are left,then its off to take it out for its first wheel.

After trying to wait till the armour is on I said thats it and went for a little run at 7am..




Rock sliders are going on today aswell as rear bumper..The front bumper is going to take a bit but will be in action..Truly amazing Toyota used the bumpers they did..Rock Defence would be the word,LOL!

That runner is sweet!..ive been thinking about using the sky offroad kit for the SAS on my 86 p/u

4Ruster

Got the rock sliders,rear bumper and front bumper on the 4runner.
Rock Defence

Still in the works but a good start.

The stinger going on.



It is coming together nicely and even better that the armor is on before any carnage unlike last time..I recommend the Sky Mfg kit,86Yoter.Beef Boomerang shackle's,Beef spring hanger and hardware.Order it up fast,get it welded on and start cutting...
