So THATS what my 4runner would look like with long travel!!

Looks awesome man! More!?

It would look like that if you did LT, then installed a bigger rear axle and extended your wheelbase, lol

That's it for now on pics. My ADD isn't working so I need to swap in the straight tube I got from Rob (Yotarob2005). Then, once I have 4x4 again and the ARB is hooked up, we'll get some trail pics.

I was only saying that because mine is the same color. Mine doesnt have chrome (from the factory!), stripe, rear tire carrier, v6...hehe.

You have manual hubs though, dont you? I see the red dial in the pictures. How come you didnt just permanently lock the ADD in place when you swapped to manual hubs?

Aha

Because that is a ghetto fix. I would have done it if I NEEDED 4x4 right away, but since I've been working on the suspension, it hasn't been drivable lately anyway.

Aye.

I really want to find some of those rims now! They look sweet.

drew02a

Yeah I like them alot. My only complaint is that they are Hub centric, which is fine on the rear axle, but the front doesn't have a ring to keep them perfectly centered. So far it hasn't been an issue though

Love the new rear set-up, I think thats really good flex makes me want to finish my rig. Ill just put new leafs and leave my 3" spacers, wish I had money for a t-100 axle.
does that shock set-up work better then making them like a " A ". I noticed you were very vertical

drew02a

The passenger side is angle forward and in, and the driver side is angle back and in. It's how they are setup on a stock truck and should help prevent Axle wrap Better than doing /\. Also, I was able to stuff a 14" shock under there this way. It makes the shock less effective at dampening though and I think I'll upgrade to a stiffer valving when I get a chance.

Dropped out the front diff today. It's about 1000x easier than it was with the Taco



Gonna have to figure out how to get this stupid stub out of the diff before I can install the straight tube


Got way too hot outside to continue. Gonna go sit in the inflatable pool and drink frozen margaritas, lol

sorry this maybe a dumb question... but is the t100 rear bolt up fpr the most part and is it a 1ton or just wider. i guess what are the pros for having it?

drew02a

It's not a bolt up replacement as it doesn't have any of the linked suspension crap. Is there something specific you're wondering about?

Not really a 1 ton, but the 3rd is alot more reliable and less likely to break Ring and Pinions.

ffryno13

well i m doing a 7mgte swap and i m worried about the rear axle breaking. im also going to end up doing a long travel kit on it eventually and it will end up as kind of an exploration/cross country rig so i want the extra width for stability.

is there a disc break conversion for it?

drew02a

I'm not sure if the spring perches are too wide for a bolt on, because I wanted to convert to spring over and just welded on new ones.

Yeah, but I don't remember who makes it

ffryno13

thanks for the info i m going to start sourcing parts. did you use your stock ifs diff to or are you converting over to the t100 too? or could you?

i love your build i cant wait to see what else your gonna do with it. it has inspired me to build mine up.

drew02a

T100's use the same diff as 85-95 4Runners and Pickups. I kept the same diff, but am putting on a straight axle tube to get rid of all the ADD crap since I have manual hubs

ffryno13

right on, that should be a fun rig when your done.

drew02a

Straight Axle tube installed

your runner is looking sweet man, how do you like the blazeland so far?

drew02a

I love it, but haven't taken it on anything rougher than a washboard road. I'll be hitting Long Ranch in Llano, TX this weekend, so I should have some good pics after that.
