Thanks. Just missing some Toyota Stickers

 

Thanks. I really Dig this little crawler. Perfect for around camp or anywhere really. They come ready to run(only need a batt. and 4 AA's) for $399. Tons of options to upgrade...

 

Hopefully i can get more done on the 4runner this weekend...this is keeping me motivated LOL

 

More tools!! Probender /w 1-1/2 240Deg. die and Notchmaster

 

very nice set up you have there

what is first on the build list?

 

Thanks, cant wait to use it. Been working with Bend-tech Pro, its a great program and will hopefully help me screw up less. Im gonna start with the front bumper/winch plate then sliders, rear bumper, and tie it all together with an exo.

 

Got a little more done









Boxed in the rear

 

2" bilstein air bumps going on eventually...

 

Pulled the transfer case out last weekend. Need to install 4.70 gears, 2.28 crawl box, Twin sticks, new clutch and flywheel, V6 1" M/C, TG 1450psi PS pump kit. Going to change out RMS and Trans input seals while im there.


I broke down and ordered some 14" King 2.0 Remote Res Smoothies /w Comp Adj
Waiting on the Kings to come in before i mount the hoops and air bumps. Also ordered LCE dual row timing conversion kit(my 2nd kit its awesome!) and LCE valve cover kit. Bought some 37x12.5x15 Radial Iroks too, cant wait to go pick em up. Ill get some pics up as the stuff comes in and goes on

 

New Shoes for the Runner 37x12.5x15 Irok Radials


Next to 4runners the 32's

Next to the pickups 33's

 

Baller build right here. Did that spring hanger or springs move your axle forward at all ?

 

The TG springs moved it forward the most and i mounted the hanger slightly further forward than flush.

 

^ I ask because most hangers are only 2" square tube , so I wouldn't be able to move it up much more than stock. I need to push mine atleast 2" . My rancho springs didn't move it up any so I stuff tire in fender and firewall. I was just gonna build my own but the cost will be about the same in materials compared to just buying one and saving me hours in labor. Idk. Thanks for replie.

 

No problem, I would personally just go with RUF's in order to get ur axle farther up. If u need more than those 2" you could weld on some leaf pin relocation plates on your perches for like another 1"? i think 4crawler sells em?

 

Ya I tossed the idea around to drill my perches to get it up another inch , but I think new spring hanger and relocate shackle tubes will be a better fix. I've seen to many ruf packs go soft and bend and break , 44044s are a little more stout just take some more labor to get them to work.
