gonna take abit to get matreals up but that bumper is to cool not to try and build thanks man.

 

you need to set up a photobucket account to post pics.

No problemo, don't forget to take lots of pics when you do build it.

 

i got the idea in my head to make my own snorkel today, so i went off to Rona and bought some ABS piping and a few elbows. $50 and about 2 hours later my snorkel is pretty much finished, just gotta make or find a head for it and do a bit of trimming on the fender. I'll take some pics tomorrow before i put the fender back on.

 

Well, im finished the snorkel here's some pics.

No HydroLocking for me



Also decided to flip the air box around so i didn't have to fish around the p/s reservoir and stuff, less elbows this way too.

Also decided to use 2 filters, one up top mainly for looks and a tornado filter on the bottom. Gotta keep that air clean!

 

Here's how i routed it out the fender

 

Started working on the tubing for my bumper today, got it all tacked up. Didn't take any pics yet but it will pretty much look like this


I decided to not to bend the tubing because a tubing bender is about 600 bucks, i think i like the look of angles better than bends anyway. Im hoping to have it finished tomorrow but that all depends on if i sleep in or not lol.

 

Got the tubing on my bumper finished today, i didn't turn out as good as i would have liked it to but it'l have to do until i get a tubing bender some how.




Also waiting for some end caps for the open ends of the pipe.

im probably gonna change it out down the road some time.

Next on the list are some 31" Goodyear Wrangler MT/R's, and a spartan for the rear.

 

new p/s pump and 130A alternator going in this weekend; should keep me busy...then i'll get to the 31's and the spartan

 

so i had a bit of a change of plans with my truck the other day. I was browsing the local classifieds and found this for $60



And today i bought one of these


i see good things in my 4runners future

 

you can't post pics like that and them nothing. Hows it coming along? Oh the suspence.

 

sorry for the lack of updates, everything is going great with the truck. Almost have my axle fully rebuilt. and im getting ready to start hacking the ifs out. ill post some pics tomorrow.

Cheers

 

Here's a pic of the rebuilt axle, gonna start tearing into the ifs brackets soon.

 

Man I wish I was at this point with mine, keep the pics coming.

 

Keep up the good work on your rig man it'll come in time.

Gonna look into getting a plasma cutter this week. Then the brackets come out!

 

Not sure what size springs your IFS eliminator kit is coming with but you are probably gonna want a front DS with longer splines that you have laying on the ground in this pic.

 

Thats just an old one i had laying around, i got the 10" slip from trail gear. Im also gonna be running a 4" lift

 

you found an axle for 60???

 

Yeah, the guy just wanted it out of his yard. The 3rd was pretty much obliterated though. He also gave me a high pinion case.

 

man you are so lucky

 

you scored on that one also nice work you have been doing a lot. Keep it up and the pics we all like them. Check your bumper it looks a little off from the front maybe it was just mocked up but check. That is a nice bumper by the way.
