cootees 90 2dr 4runner build
Realized I don't actually have a build thread here.. so here it goes.
The short and sweet version. 90 2dr runner. v6, mt. fully loaded
Searched for a while and bought it like this.
Lifted using bj spacers, tbar crank, fj80 coils, 4crawler panhard drop.
Added a basket and put it on 32's. Got the wheels powdercoated.
Got a new rear bumper(Marlin Crawler) had it powdercoated.
Added Trail-Gear sliders

Rear differential took a dump. Replaced it with an e-locker differential from a trd edition tacoma. Used the ORS harness.
Bought a stripped 84 pickup for the solid front axle.

Phil sent me some OME860 coils.
Stock fj80 on the left. ome 860 on the right. As you can see the height is relatively the same but more wraps and much heavier allows and additional 2" of lift plus it with the heavyness of the coils it should help stiffen up the rear a bit.
Springs leveled out the sas nicely.

Put it on 37 12.50 mtr's.
started buying new toys. Still gotta get everything else for the dual case setup.. but its a start. Plan is to keep 2.28 in the front and run 4.70 in the rear case.

However I am not sure where you can buy ome in Canada. I purchased mine from Phil(Strap22) at Toyota of Dallas.

Never have and I don't intend too until I am ready to lock the front. It's really not that bad with 4.10's as long as you don't do any highway driving.
Here is my almost complete driveshaft. I have to put new u joints in the double cardan and it will be done.
The shaft is 1x1 1/8 solid steel. The receiver side was sleeved to accept the shaft. The u joints will be the weak spot of this driveshaft.
