Newbie-'97 B.m.f. 4runner

Hey Guys, Ive Finally Decided To Accept My '97 4runner Limited By Selling My Project '70 Chevelle. Over The Past Few Years Ive Beat The Out Of It But Now I Want To Make It On Of A Kind. With All The Other Bad Ass 4runners Out There, I Want To Stand Out A Foot Taller Then Everyone Else. So I Thought About It For A While And Came Up With........

1- A Chassis Swap With A '91-'97 Land Cruiser. I Have A Buddy With A Totaled '95 Land Cruiser. I Just Want The Front And Rear Axles And The Suspension Set Up. And If This Is A Possible Swap I Wanted To Use The "slee Off Road" 6 Inch Suspension Lift.

2- Panel Or Delette The Rear Cargo-side Windows For Two Reasons. 1- The Past Few Months My Windows Have Been Smashed In For Access To My Streo System, And 2- Because It Would Look Bas Ass.

I Was Also Thinking About A Lexus Lx450/470 V8 Engine Swap But I Think What I Have On My "to-do" List, Is Enough For Now.

Anyone Have Any Advisement? On How To Do Any Of This?

What does B.M.F. stand for? Make sure to spell it all the way out.

bad mother watch yo mouth. is my guess. yes you can swap in landcruiser axles but they are passenger drop so you'll have some work there. the rear axle is also towards the pass. side. the slee lift will take alot of fab work to make it work with a 4runner.

buy a diamond front axle housing. keep the stock rear axle and swap the whole truck to leaf springs.

hangon what is the purpose of the truck? hardcore wheeler or look at me truck? if the later an ifs bracket lift and a body lift could get you high up enough for some 35's on 20's.
