sounds good thxs for the help. truck is pretty good offroad as all toyotas are. but shes no good on the rocks. i think im getting an 03 f250 super duty in feb so this will be a strictly offroad truck

 

will the 4.10 ratio hold up when runnin 33?

 

I think that this is truly a thread Hy-jack now...
As far a strength goes, the 4.10s are strong enough.
Nevertheless, they are the incorrect ratio for 33s.

Personally, i have run 33s on your exact same truck with 4.10s. I would have liked to have run 4.88s, but it got me there and back again plenty of times. Without incurring the cost of re-gearing.

 

sorry guys just tryin to get some info thanks for all the help. sry for bein a newbie n havin no diea how to run this site lol but that 4runner the 1990 in this thread is lookin sick

 

So here are a few updated pics of the rear. All the grinding is done (I hope) and will hopefully get the hangers welded next week!! And hopefully drivable




And I decided to keep things this way, cap off that cross member, and squeeze that shock hoop in there while keeping those bump stops for now too. It's always easier to go back and cut more out later


And no worries about the hi-jack, try to use the search button or start a new thread to ask your questions. I think there is a sticky or FAQ that will help you navigate the site. Welcome! We all look forward to seeing your rig in action

 

thxs for the tips man you ride is looking sick, keep postin pics of the updates. i wont be starting my build up till sometime in the fall. gotta graduate highschool first. and need a rig to cruise in the summer with. thxs again for the tips and goodluck with the rest of ur project

 

nice turn down out of your muffler.

Where did you pick that up from?

 

Made it from the scrap that i cut off originally, cut it right, cleaned it up, and welded it on to the best of my noob welding abilities. It'll work for now until I can redo the entire exhaust, or have the money rather. Wouldn't trust myself at this point for all the main welds, so thanks to you this is actually happening

 

some more progress!!

rear springs on!

with the axle under it




sorry for my brother's lack of photographing skills

 

the front


I'm gonna have to move my steering box forward a bit this can't be good...

 

Looking good!

Whats the problem with the steering? The tie rod contacting the drag link?

David

 

unfortunately yes...

 

I had the same problem when I first did my swap....fixed with a 3/4 drop pitman from Sky. Yours may be a little worse than mine was...





Your 4Runner is looking real good!!

 

I moved my axle back one inch by redrilling the springs pads on the axle. I still have tones of room at full stuff and 33's and my pitman arm clears....just.

My 3" TG kit has come down about 1.5" in the front from when I first installed it. I just did a 2300km trip with it and it has seated in nice now.

Runner is looking really good.

Jeremy

 

looking good i wanted to know what it would look like wit 33s looks good in my opinion

 

Looks tits....now you just need some bigger meats

 

Some sexy welds from yesterday by my buddy (birfieldbuster) with the new welder

motor mount plate

rear leaf brackets


spring perches

 

and to fix the steering problem we removed the old steering box mounts, drilled and sleeved some new holes with TG's steering box mounting plates.

 

steering box mounted up! moved forward a little over an inch and rotated down, as you can see I had to switch to the flat pitman arm. Clears everything perfect!
and now have awesome clearence!!

 

Looking great mate I have to move my steering box forward as well for the same reason.
