bump on the wheels and tires.
I'm looking for 650 combined, but make me an offer. I'm not firm

OK, since I have been sick for the last 11 days. [xx(]
Its about time this rig is almost done. The SAS and rear kit are done and I drove it tonight without any issues. Josh is picking it up late tonight, but still needs to bring it back for me to finish a couple more mods on it. For now she is driving around Greeley until next week though.

Its definitely a cushy ride now. Handles pretty good too. Would be better with wider wheels and tires.

Here the one I installed in my 2gen 4runner so now you can say you have seen one and how cool it looks.
Oh ya for the record the only way to get it in is thru the rear doors it will not fit thru the tailgate and you have to cut 2 1/4 off all the legs and reweld the mounts back on not really to hard to do just time consuming.

I am stuck here until 815 this sucks...I can't even go get her until then. I am excited. Looks pretty sick on the exception of the tiny tires. Definitely will be getting a set of 35x12.50 by r15. Anyone got a good set of used ones they want to unload? I'm not to picky as to what I want. Just needs to meet the budget.

The roll bar looks sick in the second gen. Nice work.

That is a 4" front and 5" Rear with a 1" longer shackle in the rear. Sits level now.

SOOOO much fun to drive. Haven't been on in a couple days cus I've been busy with work and such. She drives great, and is going back to scott on monday night to let him finish up the work while I'm out of town. He did a great job in making her driveable so I could get around the last couple days. I'm so excited to get back from my trip so I can go wheelin.

Oh and I'll sell wheels and tires for $500 if anyone is interested.

So she went back to the shop today (sliders, gas tank, rear tranny output seal, oil tank gasket, 1st gen roll bar to be installed)....but before I took it in, I took it 2 wheel drive wheeling. Lets just say it sucked...fun but I couldn't keep up with my buddies. although once that front drive shaft is installed, I'll be leaving them in the dust and will be able to take it places that they can't go. But also...I had some type of weird issue. I stopped to hop into by buddies first gen and mine stalled out. Then when I got back in to drive home it would start and then stall immediately. Feels exactly like the fuel pump problem I had last month, except that this time I could keep her running with the throttle. So I let scott know and he thinks it will be fixed once he puts the new tank in. feels like I just stirred up a bunch of crap in the tank and it got sucked up in. So we will see what happens. He said he'd make her work right. I am extremely happy with the work he has done. But this stupid fuel issue made me want to drive the thing off a cliff and jump out before going over!

tires anybody? I need to unload them. So let me know. Will consider any reasonable offer.

Thanks for the props bro. We'll get her all fixed up and ready for trail duty by the time you get back.

YeloSub7

I love that paint job by the way

JGrund85

thanks I do to. Hope it lasts for awhile. AIMS didn't do that great of a job. It might be slightly better than a maaco job. they cut some corners that were just pure laziness.

TIRES ARE SOLD!

I found some IROKS 36x12.50x15's with 75% left. Gonna suck on the street but can't really beat the price. pretty much a steal.

Will post more pics when I get the tires.

JGrund85

looking forward to getting my rig back. I decided to buy the 35x12.50x15 Mickey Thompson MTZ Radials.

They should be at my house monday! Scott should be finished by monday night and I pick her up on Tuesday!

JGrund85

So here is everything almost completed...still waiting on the front driveshaft to come in, which should arrive sometime tomorrow. Parking brake needs to be reattached and rear tranny output seal installed, and one more bolt put through in the first gen roll bar. Bought brand new Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ's 35x12.50x15. I am trying to figure out which motor swap to do to it now. I just wanna get this thing running right and reliable. That will be the next part of this build. I am considering the 4.3 chevy vortec or just replacing the 3.0 with a remanufactured motor. Don't wanna do the 3.0, but I'll be able to do that with no issues myself and probably have it completed in about 3 days maybe quicker. Another issue is money. I have about a $2000 budget to stick to on the swap. If I do the 4.3 swap, I will include a detailed writeup. Anyway enjoy the pics. Will include wheeling pics first time I go out...sometime next week.

First gen roll bar, still need to clean out the back sorry for the mess.

One more pic I forgot I had in my camera phone. I was bored at my house in the driveway.

So I'm gonna complete a 3.4 motor swap now. Found the motor just gathering all other parts and accesories. Will post a link to the swap once I start the thread. My goal is to make the thread as complete as possible including all parts and part numbers to make this swap easier for everyone to do.

Sweet man I'm looking at doing the same thing once I get my SAS done.
