Rear shock are done! using the factory upper shock locations I build a new crossmember that I could bolt the shocks to. I used 1.5" tubing bent 2 peices at about a 65 degree angle and sleeved the 2 peices together with some 1.75" tubing. After finding where I wanted everything I welded a 3/4 x 10 nut into the ends so I could bolt everything up. worked out pretty slick I must say!

Notice the lower Rt of the pick to see where the bolt threads in and where the old upper shock mount is.

The height issue was an unexpected problem that I dident realize untill I had it rolled out of the garage. Seamed normal too me cause I had full size chevy's for so long. I have an LT1/ 700r4 that I will trans plant into it later, hopefully the V8 weight will bring it down a bit. Im not to keen on the 2" body lift the previouse owner installed either. If possiable Ill be taking it off or atleast lowering it by an inch.

wow thats nice, Im drooling...

Nice rig man :guitar: the tank kinda reminds me of how I did mine. Keep it up its a sick 4runner :hillbill:

Do you still live in oregon? Only asking since i see you have OR plates, but says youre in Utah now.

Nice freakin build btw!

Born and raised in Oregon, Im military and just can't give up my residency to my home state. Needless to say I get great opertunitys to go wheelen in other states!

I'll probably be steeling some of your tank idea's later on down the road. Like I mentioned before I need to ditch the body lift on mine but the fuel tank is going to need some rework. I will have to lower the tank so I can bring the body back down and the stock 4runner tank is a bit tall to be lowering it any more than I have it now.

I hear you on that! I just got out of the military myself (army), but I was in washington, so not to far from home. I didnt really get many opps to go wheelin there, i didnt have a rig for it. Ive been on terminal leave since nov. 10th and in that time I bought/built my 4runner.

I have to say, I hate the gas tank location/size. Only thing I did to is was cut an access hole under the back/pass seat so I can reach my fuel pump.. I do NOT want to to have to drop that stupid thing again..

The stock steering pump has 2 vacum lines running into it, simply remove one and loop the other on into the empty port.
