Thanks Lumpy! I love it! It took me 6 years to finally pick up another one. I used to have an 87 runner, but I had to sell it due to financial burdens! We all know how that goes... and now that I have my hands one this sweet piece, I am finally whole again!

Streetlancer,

My buddy and I made the 1.5" body lift out of Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene, aka UHMW. Then we made a spacer out of round aluminum stock for the front bumper which raised it up to avoid the gap, and we also fabbed up a radiator bracket out of bar stock; however the radiator bracket is not necessary as 1.5" does not cause any interference with the fan shrowd. I bought some longer bolts and nylocks for the body mounts and we reused 2 of the old body mount bolts in the bumper locations which is subtle and few notice.

Man, that happened to me while I was towing my s10 with my 'yota. I turned into a gas station to fill up and the dolly didn't pivot back, the straps came loose and the s10 kept goin'.

I called up a buddy and we messed with it for a good hour before we got it right. And of course everybody that pulled in the parking lot had to say something, and say "well if it was me I'd do it like....." or "What you need to do is...." I told one guy what he needed to do was get the f' away from me before I beat his ass.

What a mess.
