my new project i cant wait to get started. first i am going to do a front winch and bumper. rear locker of some sort a half top and we will go from there on whats next.

 

Nice!

 

by the way i bought the runner with a 4.5" lift and some almost bald 33s already on it. today i got part of the winch plate done the mud flaps removed my trail gear rear bumper installed and picked up a craigs list front bumper for $25. i plan on making the front bumper removable from the winch plate.

 

Cool.
Did you pull the 4.5" lift to lower it?

 

no i did not pull the lift the blue 4 runner is off the craigs list add that is just a pic of the bumper that i bought. the white one is mine.

 

finaly finished the front bumper and winch plate. ok so first off i bought a universal winch plate from harbor freight tools then completely modified it. I started off by shortening it to fit the frame. then welding on a plate metal bracket to fit bolt holes on frame. then for the bumper i cut welded up the rear bumper mounts ( from the original rear bumper) then added 4 bolts to make it removable. all that's left is to paint it.

 

since the last time that i posted i had found another top and cut it into a half top. i have come across a set of 63" chevy springs for free from work. i ordered some front hangers they should be here today and i was wondering where to set them?

 

so after a couple hours of research i found that the hangers for the 63" chevy springs mount 11" center of eyelet to center of eyelet. so i figured i would find something to flex out on i found a stump out back and after a few tries i made it up for some before pics

 

here are some after picks now i am looking for a set of rears to do the front with

 

got new wheels and tires for xmas 33" 12.50" 15" bfg km2s best tire i have ever had hands down. every one needs a set!!! rims are from summit racing 10" wide with 4" back spacing.

 

i got a set of 84 rear main leafs and a full set out of a 91 i plan on using the 84 mains and cutting all of the 91s to fit i will post before and after pics when i am done

 

NICE 4Runner! I wish so badly that I had a sfa. Guess I have to do a sas...

 

Nice build. why did you leave the extra 1ft or so on the half top??just curious

 

I got two boys one is 7 months (Jensin) the other is 1 year and 7 months (Grayson) and it was left there in hopes of better shading them.

 

Nice looking runner you have there. I am contemplating the 63" swap. It's so affordable to do, it's almost hard not to justify it over other springs.

 

Lovin my SAS 4runner hahahahaha

 

Those are 33s.... I have a pair of 37 inch iroks waiting to go on for spring

 

Love this truck.... Built roll cage from a few old tj jeep cages I had laying around

 

Roll cage looks pretty good. Any more pics of it? I would be curious to see what it looks like up front.

 

Thats cool you involve your kids!! Extra shade is good
