Yeah the rack ended up hitting more stuff in the woods than it carried, also it put a noticeable drag on the pathetic 22re on the highway so I pulled it. The warn bumper is for sale. It's just too heavy and bulky for me and I don't want to cut the brackets up to fix it for the 1" body lift so I figured I'd just let someone else use it stock. I'm going with a stinger bumper kit from frontier4x4. http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=795834
Rock assault install was cake compared to the work I put in with moving the front hanger forward an inch. Pretty much redid the work I did with the original swap, but at least the axle sits where I want it now. Also had to grind my calipers to fit the wheels since there's no need to run 1.5" wheel spacers to match the rear. Rock assault housing is 3" wider.
The tube doors are from 4xinnovations. They just recently redid the latch system on them I think. http://www.4xinnovations.com/pages/guarding/doors.htm
39.5's are going on whenever I can find a smoking deal on 39.5x13 iroks and sell my 37's. Probably not any time soon.

A longer axle shaft is included with the housing. Only one side is made longer to make up the width, diff is a little offset.

i will make it a sticky and i'll take pictures as i fix it up. the idea was to put not too much money in it so we just would have a fun cheap truck. the thing is it would be hard to track down a replacement body. it would be expensive and time consuming to replace everything. so we just welded a piece of 16g sheetmetal to the back. and the top will either be fiberglass or sheetmetal depending how it goes. and aside from that we a fixed a few rust spots and holes from the extra big mirrors and cv and then did lots of bondo to get rid of the seam were the truck and sheetmetal meet. from the outside it looks factory but the inside it doesnt, so i'll get pics.

Got a new Chrome Bumper Face and Passenger End cap and Extension all for 168$ Wanted to TG bumper, for 338$ w/Shipping and Tax Included...but then I'd need the side supports, being a 4Runner, for another 40$ Plus Tax and Shipping. THEN, I'd HAVE to get the TG front bumper, as well, for another 400$ plus shipping and handling and whatever extra $ for the special recommended bracket....ET CETERA, lol.. And being a lil tight, I figured, ...what the heck, I'll put that saved 800$ into other things right now,lol... But SOME DAY, I might just splurge and buy those bumpers front and rear! lol
Before new Bumper.............
After New Bumper...............
Of course, it took quite a bit of pounding and bending back of the old original brackets, prying back the end cap mounts, spacing the passenger side bracket/to underbody out with a home made spacer/washer, ...but I think I got it pretty straight!

Thanks, Yota86!
I was amazed when i stood back how much of a difference it makes, lol. Plus, many guys on here, as I kept working on new things, were razzin me, lol...."Looks great.....so WHAT ABOUT THAT HIDEOUS BUMPER!?!?!?!?!" HAHAHA.
So it was time. Actually, the truck was like this .........WHEN I BOUGHT IT, 8 years ago! lol. It was like this so long that the crown stud fell out of the end cap and the extension permanently bent like the before pics, and was shredding the thread holes in a couple places on itself, haha. Got those end pieces for 54$ W/TAX, out the door, for both.. Pretty good.

well i know for a fact by numbers i ran 36x15.50x16 mickey t's for two weeks on my 94 yota with nuthen but a 3 inch body lift. before i shaved about 1/2 inch off the bottom corner of the front bumper and about 3/4 inch clearance at the back of the fenders, it rubbed lock to lock. and it had absolutely no balls at all drivin, so i put my 33x12.50s back on.

LOL. i had some pictures on this forum of it i thought. ill have to find some, i know i have some pictures of it. oh, and any kind of suspension flex was a NO-NO. they would rub terribly everywhere then

lol. Yeah, I really love having a straight one on there. It kinda 'completes the package', ya know? Plus, no more razzing from my yotatech homies, lol. I had a step bumper on the last 4runner I had(86), but it would sometimes get mangled when bottoming out while wheeling(they seem to hang quite a bit lower than the 'straight-face' bumpers).
