The rear suspension at that point was 1.5" All Pro coils (which provided no lift, it just leveled the truck) some 2.25 spacers, and disconnected sway bars, and 4" longer shocks.

Yea i was gonna say that the rear end flexes way more than mine. I have some Landcrusier coils that i am going to throw back there but i am not sure about the length of shock i need.

Again, i really want to get those sliders, i might order some soon. still not sure.

Just curious if you did the install of the Inchworm dual case for your auto? I have cases built for my auto and wondering how tough the install of the adapter from Inchworm is. Is there a build thread for it? Love the 4runner and all the work done to it, I have followed the build thread since the start.

Thanks

Thanks guys

Yes I did the install of the IW adapter. Its not too bad. Its a nasty dirty job and stressful if your not comfortable in an auto. Let me know what you want to know.

I should say I did blow that trans somehow while I was in there. I think its because the first time I put it togeather I didnt line up the tab on the shifter lever with the notch on the piston, and the piston was all the way to the front of the oil pan and I beleive that allowed fluid flow to all gears and engaged all of them. I realized something was wrong becasue I could spin output flange while the truck was off but as soon as I turned it on the flange was locked in all gears. I beleive that did the damage that later took out the trans. When it went out I decided to just do a 3.4 swap and run the a340f and used the marlin adapter to mate up the duals.

I like auto better for offroad, more control, even power, always in the right gear, never have to shift midway up a hill, I can stop on a scary obstacle and I wont move and I can start moving again without using 3 feet, oh and did I mention CONTROL!!

My DD is a stick, so I get my onroad fix there.

I lifted the front about 1" to 1.5" by cranking the t-bars and cutting down my factory rubber bumpstops (I hate poly bumpstops). I liked the ride and would crank the bars again. Yes I didnt get much flex out of the front but I was only getting 1-2" so I wasnt loosing much. Also I was running 26mm downey t-bars. I pounded the body seam flat also. I could turn 35's lock to lock with no rubbing. But I wheeled, at that time, on 33" tsls (33.7" tall so huge 33's) and they didnt rub.

The rear was 1.5" AP coils which didnt lift me at all so I got some 2 1/4" coil spacers as well and I had a rake.

while I dont beleive I would run that setup again, It should be said that from the begining I planned on SAS'ing and planned to run the IFS into the ground.

BTW mini-truck ifs is way under rated! I cosider it to be, pound for pound, one of the strongest IFS's out there. I beat mine for years and never broke a cv, I just kept a steady supply of Idler arm bushings handy, which at .94 cents a piece from toyota I didnt mind. I got to the point that I could change the bushings in a parking lot in about 2 min.

So how do the Rockers do on the street? I'm looking for new tires for the beater and have been looking at pitbull tires.

In my opinion they compare closer to a radial on the street. They are hands down the nicest bias ply street tire. They are smooth, they feel easier to spin than my 36" sx's. Though I will say they are VERY loud. It sounds like im in a B-17. But I always kinda liked it. The truck sat for one month (January) and we had 12hrs above freezeing in the whole month of january, it was stupid cold. I hopped in it and expected the most horrid flat spots, but nothing. No flat spotting at all. I kept the pressure up around 20-30psi.

I cant say enough great things about this tire. Dont even get me started it offroad performance.

Cool. I'm thinking Rocker or the new 38.5" Radial MadDog.

I can trailer the beater but I like to drive it around town and sometimes to the trails.

EDIT: I figure the Maddogs are a good step up from BFG Muds and MTR's. Those are the radials I've been considering with a few others mixed in like Toyos.

The mad dogs are getting good reviews. I have thought about going to a radial, I think its between the trxus mt, toyo, and km2's. I love the Rockers on the road but I think my future is going to see cross country wheeling trips and since I refuse to trailer, I think the Rockers might be a bit much for a 4000mi round trip to Rubicon....

Little update I have bent 2 axle housings and im getting sick of it. Currently my bent axle housing is causing a wicked death wobble and my locker to slip under load.

NOTE: To be fair. Both axle housings were involved in traffic accidents where I ended up flying into ditches and airing the truck out pretty good.

So I picked up one last housing and decided to do my best to make it indestructible.

I ran 1.5 .120 DOM supports from the dif out to the perch and steering stops, and I trussed up the steering stops. And I made some 1/4" gussets for the top and bottom of the balls and tied them into the perches as well. 3/8" Marlin diff armor.

We will see if I bend this one too

BTW I havent made a braket yet for hydro assist.

so you bent em front to back, not up and down? I do like the the idea of the front reinforcement dude.

Nice pitting on the knuckle balls though...i did the jb weld trick and mine came out smooth as booty.

Hey kids, another fun wheeling season in the bag, the runner has done great! I seem to be more enthusiastic about long distance wheeling trips (any where in the country i can get my bum friends to go to). In June we drove down to MO to spend a week at Waa, Flat Nasty, and SMORR. We had a blast! Since I get board of tires pretty fast, no matter how good they are, I think im going to try something other than the Pitbull Rockers Ive been running for 2.5 years. First let me say that I believe there is not a better all around bias ply tire on market....not even close! So since I cant get a better tire, ill get a different one And since I plan to continue to drive the hell out of this truck and not trailer it, im thinking radials. Been looking at the Toyo open country mt and trxus mt. So it may be interesting to see the difference.

Also after years of wheeling this truck pretty hard I FINALLY managed to flop it....




No damage the cage took it all on, a little black paint and im good as new. winched it back over and finished the day.

Some other shots from the year











Attachment 334456

Attachment 334451




just for fun, i spent a week driving on my buddies 42's, and I could still get in the garage!!





Believe it or not ill miss this OBNOXIOUS volume
