Fill it up. Seriously, you'll never burn anything with it full.

Liquid gas wont burn i a large quantity like that. Its the fumes that ignite. Filling it up reduces the area that can be filled with gas fumes, reducing the risk of explosion.

Well the tank had less than 1/4 tank full and had no suspension to drive anywhere

Easy enough just to pull...

I understand the part about "reducing" the risk of explosion.....

I just prefer to ELIMINATE the risk of burning a horrible death in my garage...sounds dumb, I know......

Yep i see your point, but as long as the gas cap is on and all your lines dont leak you basically 100% safe.

YeloSub7 · 04-04-2008, 10:51 PM

threw the tires up for some more stability (and was anxious to see how it looks!)

and here is a pic of the shackle angle some were asking for, keep in mind the springs are new, and the truck is angled back so the full weight is not on the front as it would normally be, so hopefully will get a bit more out of it once the springs settle. And once I get a bumper and winch (someday) up there it will help as well.

This is with the front hanger welded completely flush with the front of the frame (no offset)

birfieldbuster · 04-05-2008, 11:50 AM

looking sexy hot stuff.

it sits a lot taller then I thought it would, granted the springs still have to settle in.

Dare I ask what justin's old beast of a bumper is doing in front of your truck?

Wheelingnoob · 04-05-2008, 02:22 PM

That looks great!

I wonder how much it will come down with the bumper and winch?

I have the same set up but with a v6 so I'm sure thats like your truck with a winch and bumper.

Thanks for all the help! Justin in taking that bumper and cutting it up to "try" and use it as a front bumper (at least temporary) on his fj80. Actually might work pretty well, its seem to fit nicely. Just have to relocate the mounting brackets.

That thing is such a boat anchor. I cant wait to get home and build something proper.

I spent approximately $7000 all said and done...tires, wheels, gears, lockers, sliders, rear lift, front lift. I think all parts were like $4500 (including wheels and tires).

It's a lot of money, but I still have way less money in my rig than my buddy does with a stock 2004 4Runner, and I can do way more than he could ever dream of doing and I get about the same gas mileage once the 3.4L goes in.

On my 93 ex cab I took out a 4000 dollar loan for JUST for parts (tires, suspension, hydro assist, gears, etc) Still went over that budget....

Did all the labor myself...Thats what costs the most is the labor

jagermeister · 04-08-2008, 12:32 PM

ya ya i c that but what would u think for just SAS and rear leaf no tires, no lockers or anything cause i got a 94 4runner that im getting fixed and im hoping to be able to do some more stuff

JGrund85 · 04-08-2008, 12:42 PM

Check out prices from

www.addictedoffroad.com

Scott had some of the best prices I found. Your still looking at like 2,000ish just for parts. But having a SAS and lift with no lockers or gears wouldn't be all that useful. You could probably skip the the gears, but I definitely would do lockers. Traction is huge in wheeling.

Why did you take out a loan to buy truck parts?
