I really like those flares. Do you have any pictures of the overall truck?

Cebby · 08-01-2003, 06:03 PM

Is that second pic of an IFS truss? Who fabbed that up?

flecker · 08-01-2003, 06:54 PM

Heres the truck before mods to show you the flares on it (bushwacker). Downey Offroad made the ifs truss, it cost like $45.00 roughly. Sound insurance for when you nose

I see the truck is all wet, gotta love all the rain we've been getting

4runner4ever · 08-02-2003, 12:45 PM

Congratulations. Bery nice lookin' 1 gen. I especially like the new look in your engine bay.
Hope you have fun with the locker.

Some nice stuff there

Did you replace all your hoses? Everything looks all nice and clean under the hood

What other kind of suspension work did you have done besides the Downey thingy.... yes, post more pics of the truck

Looks great,
You can re-route all that crap on your valve cover to clean it up some more and make v/c removal a snap. Also lose your sway bar , it'll help off road a little. I did'nt notice that much more body roll on road w/o it. Again nice 1st gen. It's good to see more on this site. What's next on your list?

I'm digging the fender flares big time. Those are my first choice if and when I decide to fork over the money for them.

flecker · 08-03-2003, 09:56 AM

Yup, rain... rain... rain! As for the engine bay, just some armour all and elbow grease. 4XJEDI, nice rig! I like that bikini top!!! I am just starting to clean up the interior in this one. The suspension just consist of re-arced reaer spring's w/extra leaf, rancho out back, pro comp up front, bigger stabilizer, low pro bump stops, ball joints... Simple mods mostly. Next thing I think will be a cb radio. Maybe re-oaint the tube doors I got with it?

Where did you get the bikini top for the back??? Nice looking rig!

4xJedi · 08-03-2003, 03:57 PM

The top itself is for an FJ-40 from Bestop. I make and sell the installation kits for the 1st. gen Runners., or you can fab one up yourself. Some guys like the CJ tops but I think they're a little too short. Thanks,
mike
Lets see some more 1st. gen pics!
BTW, Here's my kit
