Some of you know of my on going 4runner build, and you may remember the pics of my moms 07 Taco that was rolled last winter. For those that don't, here is the thread: https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f116...-death-188923/ She had an 07 with a 6" fabtech kit and 35s on 17" dc1 wheels. Well she loved the truck and purchased a new one shortly after rolling the other one. We had been waiting for fabtech to tell us if they 09 kit was going to work with the 10 and since my mom is inpatient we decided to just order it and hope for the best. My stepdad and my best friend Wade got started right before I got home from work, unfortunately no one took any before pics so Ill just start with the make over

Parts laid out



Tear down



Buddy Wade doing work


Front diff OUT!



Sawzall for the win, no going back now!



Cross member out


My buddy Wade welding in the block off plates


count them dimes! Not bad for a 110 flux core!


After some paint


My Buddy Joe also showed up to help out, he slid underneath to put in the back cross member


After that, we bolted up the front cross member and the 3 of us man handled the diff back in


Diff in


What do we have here ?


Pure awesomeness...Fabtech coil overs are just that sexy haha


Called it a night after getting the new spindles and everything in, and started up again this morning and after a quick re-do on the sway bar set up (had to in board the links against how fabtech wanted them installed) we bolted up the front wheels/tires








Onto the back, unfortunately we didn't take many pics...nothing really exciting...just your typical add a leaf and block with some longer shocks and brake line extenders








All finished up


All the Yotas together






Thanks for looking! Not sure if anyone else had done one of these kits on a new truck yet but if have any questions don't hesitate to ask

MIKE Great pics, job well done congrats.

 

Nice!!!

 

Wow! Excellent pics - thanks for sharing. Just curious, is this a complete kit or did you customize the setup? This setup only took you a day?

 

looks good dude... my dad has been debating on getting a 6" lift for his 09 double cab tacoma but im not sure if he ok with cutting the tacoma at all since hes still under warranty and all.
