Lookin good!

FYI, your u-bolts are installed wrong, you want to switch them around so the longer one goes on the inside and you end up with a matching amount extra from both, about 1/2-3/4" after the nuts.

I checked them before I put them on but all four of them seemed to be the same size, I'll double check that and make sure. Thanks for checking my post

i cant express how stoked i am to find this thread. not only is this the EXACT build im sooting for in the near future, but youre i the Sac area as well. ill be watching for updates, and watching even harder for this rig on the roads!

What are you doing with the rear?

9164RUNNER

Ok so i got some new updates, for now I just leveled out the rear with 2.5" spacers. It doesn't ride that but but when I weld the rear and threw in 5.29s the rear dips really bad when turning but I guess its normal with a spool.

Little flexing on a rock




Alot easier with the square front drive shaft made and finally using the lockers













Oh how clean this truck is!!!! How awesome is water and car wash soap!!!





Ready for camping, buddy rig with beadlocks and 36" Iroks, looks like it has full widths

So I have hit a road block, first option is what I wanna do but dont wanna put that much money into it but

- keep the 4 link, go longer stiffer springs and fab up rear upper links
- do chevy 63 leaf spring setup(cheaper by far)

but I wanna keep the 4 link cuz my buddy with the first gen loves how smooth it rides now, So what do you guys think?

Id say get the 63s then with the money you saved work on getting bumpers and sliders

9164RUNNER

yea thats what I was thinking also bumpers and sliders would be the next thing.
On the way camping I saw a white 2nd gen fully leafed and it looked sexy!
