I am having a bumper made by Brad during this week, here is our progress from monday night.





We got the front mounts done, and some recovery points welded on.

More to come.

Sorry the hellas are in the way on some of the pics, but i really like it painted black.

So i wanted some black wheels, and i really dig the spare rim on the 4runner, so i decided to use them as my rims. I have had this idea for a while, and I have seen it discussed here on yt, but never seen pics of it. So here are some pics of right before and right after, enjoy.

Before


After with chrome lugs






Painted chrome lugs

I installed a lift yesterday, it took a while and we ran into some problems, but we got it mostly done.

Front: toytec adjustable coilovers with 650lb rate springs

Rear: OME 891's, bilstein 5125s and extended brake lines

The front went in actually pretty easy and i need to lower the threads on the coils to get a little less lift and better cv angles. The problems we ran into were with the rear lift, I was trying to use some friends used bilstein 5150's but there wasnt enough space to fit them in so I ordered some 5125's to go under it, and we didn't find this out until after we ruined the original shocks to get them out. So I had to run to the parts store and currently I am running som Gabriel G-Force shocks, just as bad as monroe. Also when doing the rear brake line extention we broke the hard line, and that just plain sucked balls. We got it fixed though and the brakes are working good. I am going to be finishing the lift up friday with the bilstein 5125's once they get int.

Now for the pics:

Before:






Front on:






Rear minus good shocks:


Finished product and some flexing:












I think i broke one of the crappy shocks flexing, but hey that means i get to return it under warrenty

Went to Windrock today (Coal Creek), and had a great time. It was a my first run with the new suspension, and first time putting the locker up to a good test.

Also found out that flexing out the rear suspension might break your sway bar. Broke a sway bar mount, so it ended up in the middle of my ome 891's, so we took it off and its gonna stay off. Now my springs become unseated at full flex, I think i need to get some limiting straps.

Going up trail 39




Finding broken sway bar.
