thanks man, i completely forgot thats what today was haha. but yea it was!

 

is he running blocks in the rear? the very first pic you can see part f the leaf spring and it looks like it is 3-4in higher then the axle.

 

yes sir he is

 

Gotta love the look of fresh mud on a 4runner or Truck! When i get another truck or 4runner imma run that 4in rough country lift set up I personally dont like what's on the FJ40 right now. Im runnin BDS springs and rancho shocks in the '40 they ride fairly good. Have already replaced the springs once in 5 years though

 

haha yea man! looks good on any yota! the rough country lift is actually pretty good, the way i run it haha. its good for ifs i guess

 

looks great on a yota, haha

 

Yo Yo Yo, B-Money! lol.... howzit, HB? Just wondering, ...everything going well, running well, wheeling well without any breaking of parts, etc.? lol

 

haha everything is good, but im thinking i might need to rebuild my alternator, the thing squeaks a bunch. but nothing has broken in a while so thats good! knock on wood lol

 

gm 1-wire upgrade?

easy to do, and no electrical modifications

 

ive actually been considering it, mine kinda struggles running all the lights, heater, stereo, and windshield wiper at the same time haha. didnt you do that ian?

 

yup. same time as the mini-rebuild. and i just got done upgrading the wiring, so all 140 amps can flow smoothly. i'll need to make a headlight harness, but the gm alternator works great. with an adapter, it's plug n' play. toyota alternators are technically "one-wire" as well, so the main connection is the same. also, the bottom bracket is the same size, and the top adjustment bracket almost fits. it will need to be changed out or modified to fit. if you have a welder and grinder, i suggest fabbing up your own. i bought something like the trail gear bracket for easy installation, as i don't have welding stuff

 

Nice trail ride pics! Love the pics of the 1st gen runner and truck side-by-side. That needs to be on yotatech's main page! lol

 

ok i will definitely be doing some research! ill ask ya if i have any questions. thanks ian!

thanks man! it was definitely a fun time!

 

Nice pictures!!
Two of my favorite trucks on Yotatech!

 

thanks toyo! although i gotta say, the sas and that flatbed, man, id kill for your truck! haha

 

Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup? lol.... Just checkin in... I'm still at it on mine... dropped all kindza Stuffs at the Machinist, today! Woot! hehe.

Hope to stop by, HB, sometime this summer! I'll be going fairly near to there on my loop before I head west from the 395 toward Auburn!

 

good to hear you're making progress chef! ill be here pretty much the whole summer!

 

Same here, not that I can fit my rig in the garage, this summer is dedicated to nothing but my 4runner, lol

 

haha pretty much, itll be interesting to see where im at with my truck when fall comes around

 

Same here. Money is the biggest issue, I'm even considering sitting down with my fabricator buddy and designing our own custom long travel ifs suspension O.o
