Started the build by pulling the 3vz,transmission and transfer case.




I didn't take any pics of pulling the 3vz no one wants to see that stupid crap. Then I took the body off the frame and put it on dollies and rolled it out side.

I found a donor vehicle a 2000 4runner 5VZ rolling chassis bought for $1700. It has a mere 74k miles on it.

We set the body on to see what the fitment looked like with the coil springs, how high the shock hoops could be mounted, where the rock-sliders will set, and to get a visual for mounting the fuel cell. Soon it will be time to pull the body off for final welding. Afterwards the frame and running gear are off to Forever Powdercoating in Olympia.

Ballistic fab coil mounts axle side and frame side




These coil springs are made by BDS and are for a TJ, they are 2" front coil springs.










The FROR high clearance Tacoma X-member was used but the mounting is a little different on the frame than for a 3rd gen 4runner or a Tacoma frame.
