How big SteveO's 4Runner REALLY is...pics inside, not dial-up friendly
Just another gratuitous picture posting thread
SteveO's office in now relatively close to mine, so I went by this morning to see his big green beast, now that is is road worthy (from his recent rear coil-to-leaf spring swap and PC 4" front lift). He still needs a rear bumper and sliders, but it looks really incredible.
For the sake of comparison, I parked in front of him. I have about 2" of lift in the front and 2.5" in the rear, and my runner looks tiny :pat:
The pewter-colored GMC ZR2 behind SteveO is a friend of ours, too... (Hi Chuck )
Hey Jim and Paul, if you see this, sorry there wasn't any curbs or rocks in the parking lot to pose on

WOW that was fast.
I was just looking at the forcast for this weekend and the upcoming week. Looks like lots-o-rain. So, no work on the beast this weekend, or I put the small wheels on and drag it into the garage. Oh well, guess the ARB will have to wait.
I'm currently working on the write up for the rear leaf setup. So, all you folks who are interested, I'm hoping to have it done by this weekend. Stay posted, I'll have it done pretty quick here.

Looks pretty sweet. I think some bigger and more aggresive tires are in order. Is it the missing rear bumper that makes it look like its sitting too high in the butt?

LOL!!!! Me too .......
I'm working hard reading posts at Yotatech. Darn, someone just had the nerve to call me during my "working Lunch" and ask me to help design their next experiment.
