2000 2door 4Runner

IRBIS · 11-14-2006, 12:58 PM

This is a lot of discussions on all Toyota forums which 4RUNNER model is the best. Everybody likes the first generation body, but the performance of the 3rd generation. We try to combine these two things together. The base platform was custom modified chassis from 2000 4RUNNER Limited with the factory E-locker for the better performance custom 3.0 inch suspension super charger and front ARB locker was added, and we are top it off with nice body from the first generation. Accessories: front aluminum bumper with hitch receiver under it; rear bumper with the tire carrier; two piece skid plates; rock sliders. Quarter panels been cut of two inches. Land Cruiser rims and 305 x 75 x 16 MTR tires. Complete paint job and new windshield to finish the project.

What made you decide to go through all that work, yet keep the IFS? I think if I were going to go through all of the custom work to get it to mesh, I would have thrown in a SAS to boot.

ebelen1 · 11-14-2006, 01:15 PM

IRBIS, you are awesome. The great bumpers you've been posting and now your take on the ultimate 4runner; only one word can describe it: AWESOME!!!!

YotaFun · 11-14-2006, 01:33 PM

AWSOME!!!
That is a project I would have loved to do...

CJM · 11-14-2006, 01:44 PM

I think it would have been even cooler had you been able to keep the body of the 3rd gen, fab up a removable top and cover the 2nd doors over with metal and make it a 2 door.

Obviously woulda been alot more work though..

Yours is awesome, but yea why didnt you go SAS?

deathrunner · 11-14-2006, 01:57 PM

Ummmmm......what would be the point of the frame swap if he did the SAS?

Might as well just SAS an 86 with a 3.4 swap.

solid axles are over rated, i havent run a trail yet that i "need" a solid axle, but it would be cool, and i see your point.
I have wheeled with that vehicle, that vehicle, and that driver, them two work well together, lol
another bump for Oleg, he and his brother know toyotas, lol

Flygtenstein · 11-14-2006, 04:23 PM

You are missing the point on this completely.

That is a cool FAST truck with the light weight and big engine with SC. It hauls.

Swapping a 3rd Gen truck is not something to scoff at, it doesn't just happen.

This is a cool truck with impressive body work/modifications. Oleg and Yuri can do fab work, but that was not the point of this project.

Glad you guys solved the computer BS, that is a fun truck.

SAS'dToy · 11-14-2006, 05:39 PM

nice, very nice

ecchamberlin · 11-14-2006, 08:06 PM

Very impressive work and a great idea. Awesome execution!

I like it very much and I also like that you kept the IFS. SAS has been done. This was unique!

ewong · 12-14-2006, 07:52 AM

NICE work!

A bit wide for my tastes... but then again - after a LT setup its probably the same width...

nmtoy · 12-14-2006, 10:06 AM

That is the first gen I would love mine to be. Kind of like a Pro Touring car for off roading, classic style with modern performance.

What kind of cost would I be looking at if I provide the first gen?
