Yo everyone. I am about to buy a 95 4runner, good shape with only like 95k on the odometer. However. I am in a tight spot. It has a 4" suspension lift AND a 2" body lift. I REALLY wanna pull this body lift off of it and replace the shocks... Anyone have the capabilities to help me jack it up and swap it all out? I'll bring a 24 pack of the beer of your choice..... Seriously though, any help that I could get knocking this out I would REALLY appreciate. Thanks!!!!!

Awesome ! I'm in Richmond and just picked up a '93 4Runner that needs a 2" lift. Sweet huh ? Did you get your's dropped OK ? Got any parts 'left over' I could use ?

Cheers,

Bobb

I don't mean to be a smarty pants, Bobb, but did you not notice I posted this today? Haha! I gotta find someone that has the ability to lift it up so we can pull the 2" body lift off. I don't think the little blocks are in any shape to be reused, but if I can find someone to help get it done, they are yours if you wanna come get'em. Unless YOU know someone who could help me take it out???

Yeah sure ! I just bought my 4Runner, I figured you are just as excited as I am to get moving on these fun projects ! That and a few beers we can take on Anything. I just wish I had a garage.....'lost my shop in the divorce. But gained a new super duper wife so I won on that deal.

Cheers Dude

Lost the shop. NO!!!!!!!! What is she going to do with it? Ha. I'll keep you posted on what happens, if I can get the body lift off soon I'll let you know what kinda shape the parts are in.

hey man i have a place in vb that we could do this if u want.

Well, this guy backed out, so no go on that thing, but I am still trying to find a 2nd gen. We'll see what happens I suppose. I keep having people just back out of the deals. Virginia is full of really flaky people, it's crazy!

Ok well they are out there and the flaky thing so true

I'm waiting on a guy to get back to me by lunch today about his 95. but that's already got 31's and a 2" leveling kit. The 12x50's won't fit on it without some kinda rub I'm sure, so, I told him he could keep the wheels and tires if he does it. I just wanna get a damn 4runner already.

I feel u I just want to get the rebuild on my 84 done I could use the wheels and tire if he don't want to keep them

Well, I now am working a weird three way kinda deal, going to sell my truck outright, put the money into another 6" 3'n'3 lift with 35's then swap the 35's with the 33's on my truck and give the guy who buy's my truck 35's.

Whew. It's confusing. The point of it all though is that I'll still have a 4runner to pull a body lift off of. So I may still hit you up on that offer. I'd love to help ya out with the rebuild if you need it, I'm always looking to learn more about this stuff.

Ok cool I will keep u in mind I am geting ready to do a dubble triangle 4 link and a strait frame on the truck as well

If any one on nova needs machine shop work done hit me up I work in one

Or gear sets axel swap u name it look me up

OK, well, MAYBE the first 4runner I went after may work in the long run after all..... I have a guy coming today to supposedly buy my truck, to which I will take that money straight to 4runner guy and buy his rig. We'll see what happens, after all the flakes I have been dealing with I have no hopes for anything....

But, I say that to say this. If I get it the first thing I wanna do is pull that body lift off of it. I'll do a reverse "build-up" thread, haha.

Where are you, by the way??

Oh, and I am pulling the running boards off like, TONIGHT.... but that's just a sidenote that I feel I need to make known. I LOATHE running boards. Well. Maybe I'll wait until I have nerf bars, so the girlfriend can still get in it.... Nah, she can hop up......

hey photoguy I got a 94 4runner SR5 22re 5 speed, no lift 31" all terrains with good tread. very clean frame and only one rust spot on the body. otherwise factory dark blue is in very good shape. 22re runs like a sewing machine with so many new parts id rather list them all on the phone. PM me and ill give u my number if ur interested.

click on my profile and there is a pic of her

Located in great neck area of Va beach

What's the mileage, you tryin to trade???

Travel to the cosa I've vb on the week end work in md

Travel to the cosa I've vb on the week end work in md/va line

maybe trade. ur truck got the 22re or v6? ehhh mileage on mine I have no idea of, dash was replaced before i got the truck, title under mileage reads NA, for not accurate. Ive had it for 3 years and it purred when i got her so i didnt much less care. Runs even better now after i overhauled whole top and front end of motor 3000 miles ago. long list of new parts. Doesnt burn or leak anything. You would have to drive her to really believe how good she drives. 70+easily on highway all day long no steering shake or drivetrain vibrations. 22re pulls strong. everything works but cruise control. ice cold a/c and hot heat. let me know

Well, the guy bought the truck, so I am getting my 4runner this evening.... actually I think the guy just texted me about going to pick it up, so, fourlinked84....... I'mma need your help pulling this body lift off, and Bobb, I'll throw photos of the blocks up when I get them out, let you see if you want them.

Game time. Bout to get my 4runner. Super stoked!!!!!!

Hey Bobb, you got a place up in Richmond we could pull my body lift off and put that stuff onto yours? If I am going to give you the parts, it would be simpler to knock it all out in a day or two if you have the resources to do it... It's definitely a 3" those little rubber blocks are huge! There is going to be other stuff that has to be done I guess, other parts I'll have to get to replace those??? I have so much to learn. Anyways, let me know.


If not, fourlinked, let me know what's up. I am right behind the Lynnhaven mall, so you would be a much shorter drive, haha. I'm looking forward to getting rolling on getting this thing done so it won't look so stupid with a 7" lift and 31" tires. Can't afford new tread at the moment, and I don't wanna have to buy 35's just so it looks not terrible.

Well, third member is done. We changed it out this evening.... I gotta get a cap for this new housing, it came off a 96 that had a "speed sensor" and my 95 doesn't have that, so I need a cap to plug that with before I can test drive it to make sure it works and we didn't totally screw it up. ha.
