Weld together for 399 that may very well be worth it... hmm

I would just get a Trail Gear or Marlin Crawler rear bumper but like you, i'd like to try and have a matching rear plate bumper.

I agree with the jerry can holder, it's ugly IMO. And i'm not a fan of the spare tire angle but I can live with it.

 

if you get the weld together kit. you can change the angle of the spare tire. he told me i can install the spare tire on the driver side *reason* pass side already has to much weight like fuel tank and t-case. you can mod just about anything you want. im holding off to see about getting his other one in the mag i seen

 

Yeah that's definitely a benefit of the weld-together one.

Any pics of the other one?

 

its in the newest 4WD toyota onwers mag. i try to snap a picture and load it up on here. its much more plated, no tubes and the hitch is up higher in the bumper and not so low

 

Ah I will have to wait until mine comes in the mail!! The magazine that is.

 

been a busy weekend for me i guess. finally got around to adding a factory 4.88 IFS diff in. used my non add tube. i have to say those that do this on the ground must have more skills than i do. i did this on a lift and still was alot of work...
4runner to pre-runner

top is ADD 4.88 diff. just have to remove the stubby gear thing. i had to pop the cover open to pop the stub out

once the stub is out. you can see it looks just like a non add diff. just need to install a seal.

the seal on non add diff are the same on both sides

installed and you can see the ADD sticker and a NON ADD tube


not sure when these bad boys will be installed. just went with HREW kickout from 4x

 

Niiiiiice! things growing more and more SIK every day lol... Sliders even! Wanna stop by and put mine on? lol.

 

nice choice!

 

Can't wait to see you slide down some spots.

 

I just installed the EXACT sliders from 4xI they rock! (pardon the pun).

 

Locked and loaded and armed. Sounds dangerous

 

Lookin' good!

 

its finally coming together. im trying to get all the big stuff done so i can just do the little stuff when i find time. i kinda wanna start building the 82 i have. mainly for my dad and see if i can get him to wheel with me... i wont be installing them. i got a local guy that would do it. something like these i need to make sure it wont fall off lol

thanks for the money i couldnt go wrong

i try to avoid sliding on rocks lol. its also for my future hi jack

yes you did, i see pictures. they look great but post up some over pictures

 

haha im getting there

thanks its coming along

 

Over pictures?

Oh by the way, saw the new redesigned CBI bumper in my new edition of 4WD Toyota Owners Mag. It looks FANTASTIC!

 

Looks good man, wish I did the non-ADD tube swap instead of the band clamp mod now.

 

woops, i mean a full shot of the runner to show off how the sliders are from a different view. i emailed them about building me the one in the mag but he said the only way they would do it is if they had my runner
they could build it but said it would cost to much.... :*(

thanks, whats the band clamp mod? the tube swap isnt hard at all. it seem like a big deal when you never done it because i just dont see any pictures of it being done. im a picture person lol

 

Pretty much just using a band clamp to keep the shift fork in the ADD tube locked in 4WD

 

Ah ok. When I get a chance I will get you a pic.

And that's a real shame... guess it's back to the drawing board.

 

didnt know you had to do that. i heard you just have to lock it in so its engaged all the time and use manual hubs. def swap the tube if you can. cleaner look and one less thing to worry bout
