I call it the Free-Floating-Rear-End, here is the story behind it.

So I was on my way home today from the feed mill, had to get some grain for the horses, when all of a sudden I hear a clunk----clunk----clunk coming from the rear end. I half expected to see my exhaust fallen off the wire hanger the PO rigged up. Lo and behold my, I look and do not see anything, so I continue home the 4Runner bobbing up and down and I start thinking, ☺☺☺☺ my shocks musta went to crap. I run down to the local garage where a buddy of mine works and we get under it and start looking, rear shocks are in good shape....Looks like the shock mounts rusted through, so much for being a good condition Michigan 4Runner =D.

Oh well, this is a winter vehicle anyway, and it only has to get me up to work twice this summer.

 

You mean shock mounts. 2nd Gens have shocks all around. Time for some weilding.

 

cut em off and order some bolt on shock mounts from bud built if you dont wanna weld em on...

 

Thanks for noticing that Paul, I changed it now, not sure what I was thinking

And thank 91TPU, I was not aware one could order replacement shock mounts.
