that you did bro, that you did.

 

Blake. If you plan to SAS I recomend you save up much more then what the kit costs. Lol Youre gonna be spending much much more then $1300. At least I did. It all depends on what you have in hamd already.

 

I'll be attempting to use my homie hookups to their fullest :p

 

Man your runner is sooo flippin nice! I am pretty much going to copy everything you have done. I love your paint, your wheels, I love your truck!

 

I remember when I was like that with all the bad ass trucks I would see here when I first joined YotaTech. I'm glad I didn't copy anyone's truck exactly though. I just did my own thing but I did take certain ideas off other users rigs. I pretty much pieced everything I liked from other trucks and made it into a Frankenstein hybrid of mods I liked lol. Still got some more stuff to do. But I'm glad I went my own route. Definitely feels like more of an accomplishment that way to me.

 

I totally understand that, and I can never see myself exactly copying someones rig. Its just that his is such a close match to what I see in my head. It really gets me excited about the future of my ol yota.

One of my biggest questions is when I go back the the stock charcoal color, do I color match the top like on blakes, or do I two tone it black across the entire top and the cab....

I really, REALLY dig the look of his, but with black wheels I think two tone would look good too. So many choices. I wish I could photoshop it.

 

^ This....
This is my motto with my truck. I have see soo many great ideas on this site. And I eventually hope to maybe add some myself...

 

I appreciate it! I went back and forth for ages on what to do with my top. I don't regret it.. but I dig the black tops too. Next on my todo list is an SAS. I've got about half of what I need.

 

Also I'm honored you like the look. No shame in whatever route you go with on your rig.

 

Blake are you gonna go with brand new leaf springs all around when you SAS? I have 3" lift leafs that I had on mine before I upgraded to the 4" all pro ones. I am selling them so let me know if you're interested. Got a friend who might buy an 85 4x4 pickup this weekend so I might sell to him. But I can let ya know once I find out if he buys it or not.

 

Yea let me know! I currently have the front axle with High steer, hangar, 4" rear springs, rear shackles (keeping my current ones). Looking for front shackles, springs, shocks all around, and time :p

 

Alright then sounds good. If my friend doesn't buy that 85 truck ill definitely send a message your way. Definitely worth it. Brand new springs are super costly lol I spent $1200 on 4 new ones from All Pro lol. That there was money I could have spent toward both my front and rear bumpers.... any way at least I'm a short drive from you. I live near the 710 & 5 freeways.

 

What are you planning to price the front springs? Who makes em?

 

Hey Blake I have all the information right here on my classified ad. 2 of the leaf springs are Rancho the other 2 Leafs are Rough Country.

With pix of their condition and what they looked like for the short time I had them installed. So u will see what they look like on a first gen 4runner. I am asking $250 for the set of 4.

By the way the truck my friend was looking at isn't an 85 after all. He sent me a picture and it turned out to be an IFS front end. So they're yours of you're still interested.

 

I appreciate the offer! But I'm only looking for Front Springs :/ The rears have already been supplied :]

 

 

Oooooh! Sexayyyyy! Lol

 

I have the same issue with my 1995 4runner, I tried lubing it but there are flanges at both ends and I can't get really get any good amount of lube in the right spot to make it stop.

I guess I could pull the cable, hang it verticle and tap up the top end with a bottle/funnel with oil in it to let it gravity feed. Maybe I should just try that lol.

 

Hey Blake how's the 4Runner treating you? Did you ever do the solid axle swap?

 

no :/ I got into mountain biking... but I'm ready to start giving my truck the attention it deserves.
