Ran out of bondo to finish feathering it out but it is welded on with a quick shot of primer.

Snapped these shots before it got dark out. It is frigging cold out right now. 0 degrees with a nasty wind chill. Supposed to hit 20 below zero tonight. No work for me tomorrow, too cold to saw in. Going to do an oil change and new rotors on my friends 96 T100 tomorrow. Then hopefully do some work on the 4Runner.

Yea, hood scoops have always looked good to me. Sure is better than adding a 1.5 inch body lift.

Good deal. How much up travel are you shooting for on your front? And what length shocks are you going to run? And were did you get the hiems that thread into the tie rod and drag link?

Im helping my brother (KelvinB) on here.... put a transmission in my garage and after were done ill be pulling the 87 in and start chopping it up. Im saving some $$ for front lift springs at the moment. By the way i noticed by your profile pic your a tree guy. I like doing that stuff myself! Do you climb as well?? Something about yotas and the outdoors just goes good together.

Save your $$$ and do rears up front. The rears up front way out perform the aftermarket lift springs.

When you say rears you mean aftermarket rears, new stock rears???? Cause my factory rears look worn out.

Ok i did my research on runnin rears up front and it sits the axle 2 inches forward also. im assuming this is a good thing?? So you basically build your own leaf pack.
