YeloSub7

Thanks for all the help! Justin in taking that bumper and cutting it up to "try" and use it as a front bumper (at least temporary) on his fj80. Actually might work pretty well, its seem to fit nicely. Just have to relocate the mounting brackets.

I can always go 35's if it doesn't

That thing is such a boat anchor. I cant wait to get home and build something proper.

I spent approximately $7000 all said and done...tires, wheels, gears, lockers, sliders, rear lift, front lift. I think all parts were like $4500 (including wheels and tires).

It's a lot of money, but I still have way less money in my rig than my buddy does with a stock 2004 4Runner, and I can do way more than he could ever dream of doing and I get about the same gas mileage once the 3.4L goes in.

On my 93 ex cab I took out a 4000 dollar loan for JUST for parts (tires, suspension, hydro assist, gears, etc) Still went over that budget....

Did all the labor myself...Thats what costs the most is the labor

jagermeister

ya ya i c that but what would u think for just SAS and rear leaf no tires, no lockers or anything cause i got a 94 4runner that im getting fixed and im hoping to be able to do some more stuff

Check out prices from

Scott had some of the best prices I found. Your still looking at like 2,000ish just for parts. But having a SAS and lift with no lockers or gears wouldn't be all that useful. You could probably skip the the gears, but I definitely would do lockers. Traction is huge in wheeling.

Why did you take out a loan to buy truck parts?

YeloSub7

so my measurement from the top of the rim to the bottom of the fender is 21". Stock I think is what 14-15"? So I have about 6" lift withe these 3" springs. These better break in ALOT! The guys at TG said it should end up being about a 4.5" lift once they break in, I dunno but my truck is high...

birfieldbuster

you have not even put the full weight of the truck on the springs yet... they will settle in nicely.

We might just have to build you a bumper to help the process along

Because money doesnt grow on trees! (last time I checked anyways)

JGrund85

Money does grow on trees, but last time I checked mine it died!

This just showed up on my doorstep on my birthday a couple days ago! I guess my parents wanted to contribute to the project
