My bet is 4x4labs did the work or something. It is shown on their site before lift. It has the bumpers and can in the back. Very nice. I like it. Haven't yet found any other info. I like the rear bumper.

Also that is a really nice runner, dont see to many runners with coils up front.

Yeah, I don't want the guy to think i am a stocker...
I was hoping he was on here, maybe just lurking or something. Maybe someday when i can actually go wheeling i'll try to get intouch with him...Steve

I wasn't sure if youd consider them radius arms or not, but i guess they are pretty similar. I really wish i would have gotten to talk to him. Oh well someday maybe i'll see him again.

Most of the Taco's that are SAS'd are usually Wagoneer leafs, At least in Norcal. There are a couple of coil conversions, but most of them are leafs.

Dick is the only person (That i know of) that is running radius arms. Dean (black D-cab) is running a three link that works pretty good. Dick's truck does very well, and rides very nice on the road.

sorry to bring this post back up but I saw that 4runner at 4wheelparts in oakland today. Sick a** 4runner. I talked with the guy for a little while. He said everything was done at 4x4 labs, and then basically told me everything else that has already been said by others on this post. High pinion dana 44 front 60 rear. It looked basically the same as the pictures but a little dirtier and more scratches from wheeling. He said he was going to fordyce this weekend. Just thought I would add to the post...

sweet 4runner. coilovers are sick...as are the bumpers on that rig.
looks way too tall and top heavy for my liking though...
fordyce will own a few pieces of his body paneling on that rig though...

The work looks definetly top notch, and the underside of that thing looks cleaner than when I first got mine.
I dont like the rock crawler + pre-runner look though. The rear needs some extra height. What again did he have the rear?
