4RunnerKid · 08-09-2007, 03:13 PM

been doing some little things on the truck lately... taking care of stuff i've been putting off for a while.

front bumper "rebuild"

redid front hanger straps

turndown on the muffler (used to shoot up)

blacked out taillights

Looking good dude. You been wheeling at all lately? When are you going be near Sac again?? It would be sweet to have both our rigs together on a trail somewhere.

4RunnerKid · 08-10-2007, 05:56 PM

haven't wheeled since Memorial Day... i doubt it'll be ready for wheeling this summer, but i'll be taking it to Hollister come fall. not sure if you'd be interested, but you're more than welcome to join us.

yotasavg · 08-11-2007, 10:51 PM

how'd you do the tail lights? i like it alot.

4RunnerKid · 08-12-2007, 12:33 AM

VHT nite shades i think is the name of the stuff... it's actual taillight paint, so hopfully it holds up better than the red stuff i used before.

Mike, if you bend that think then think about getting Unimog or Rockwell axles!

The added axle weight will make your truck harder to roll hahaha

holy crap! that axle must weigh a ton! looks beefy!

westy44runner · 08-22-2007, 03:55 PM

The axle looks good.

What about the knuckle balls? Did you gusset them as well?

4RunnerKid · 08-22-2007, 06:01 PM

the tabs in the first pic are for the upper knuckle ball gussets/shock mounts. i have similar tabs (minus shock mounts) for the bottom as well, i just didn't take any pics of those.

the housing isn't too heavy, but it definitely weighs more than a stock one. if i bend this housing i'm not sure what i will do... probably D60s, but hopefully it doesn't come to that.

4RunnerKid · 08-23-2007, 11:56 PM

a little more progress...

4RunnerKid · 08-26-2007, 12:32 AM

all that's left are the knuckle balls...

***waskillywabbit*** · 08-26-2007, 06:48 AM

Looks good...I hope you took your time and went SLOW with all that welding.

X2...looks very beefy

4RunnerKid · 08-26-2007, 10:28 AM

i took my time, definitely. the front truss was done inch by inch... the upper was tacked in a bunch of places and i welded every 4th inch section or so, let it cool, did the next set, etc.
