yeah, the clearance is great with all that lift and an advantage on those ledges but all that clearance doesnt come without sacfricing something . I've got around 5.5 lift on my SAS pickup and thats about all the higher I would want to go or need for that matter. I'm sure you could cut that lift down a good 3 inches, you'll find your COG will be the limiting factor on what you can safely nagivigate with a full bodied 4runner. Big rocks will bring its share of off camber situations...
trim those fenders alittle...and lower it and skid plate it.
definitely a cool rig...keep up the good work.

Got any other pictures of that rear bumper other than the 3? Closeups?

Cool, if you can I'd like to see the mounting brackets and tire carrier mostly.

Have you noticed how much the rear portion of the frame flexes?

I need to quit spending money. I just got married a couple of weeks ago, so I did as much work as I could before the wedding. Now she sees how much I'm actually spending.

The tire carrier and bumpers were built into the trailer hitch so it has about a 4"x18" piece of 1/4" plate that is mounted to the rear portion of the frame.

You can sleep in your truck. You can't drive your house.



Nice work on the 3rd gen.
