Looking great! Any chance your ghetto parts truck has power windows?? Dibs on switches!!

 

HOLY CRAPULA! ...........IT'S ROB! Oh, holy crapula X 2 on how awesome that thing looks with those 35's.... SICK! Wow!

Best wishes, Rob,.... speak to ya soon,

Mark

 

Well atleast after two months of absence you post with pics. Truck does look the business.

 

Truck looks good rob, especially with the 35's. The few dents add character. Time for a front bumper? Sucks about those new springs. Doesn;t the all-pro springs require hanger/shackle relocation? Or are those one older then the 56" ones they sell on their site now?

 

Good to hear from you again Rob! Man I have 35" tire envy everyone is seems like everyone is stepping up to 35's now, maybe i will just have to follow suit soon...by the way your rig looks so sweet with the 35's!

Are you planning on fixing the body damage or just leaving it?

 

Been checking in on you and just figured life got busy for ya. I know how that goes. Those are some monster tires. Welcome back.

 

Thanks Jerry. How you been?

Thanks, sorry but the parts truck has manual windows

HOLY CAPULA!.....Its Mark! Haha! Thanks, I love the look of the new tires and cannot wait to go wheeling with them. I am going to have to go back to the major chain tire store and have them rebalanced though. I know that they are too big to ever ride smooth, but there is an obvious problem above 60 mph. It is noticeable at almost all speeds but are unbearable on the highway. Also even with the gears I am now struggling to hold 70 mph ,but it is all a worth wild sacrifice.

You can always count on me to post pics.

Thanks Brandon.

Character......Yep my 4runner has plenty of it......Just like me, lol.

The springs are 47" All Pro, direct bolt in. They are front springs that came off of my buddies 92 SAS pick up. I assume that is why they are so stiff, being designed to carry the weight of the engine. I pulled the bottom 2 leaves out of them yesterday and it is ALOT better, I have not had a chance to flex it out yet though.

Bumpers are my next priorities. I really like the Addicted Offroad bumpers for the front, it's nice that he will make them for a body lift too. I will most like do a custom rear bumper though.

What body damage??? lol. I guess I'll fix it sooner or later, but not until I amour the crap out of it.

Did you ever get your timing belt done?

Hey Terry! Yeah you know how life can be. Hope all is well with you.

 

Nice look on the 35's. I've always thought 33's looked perfect on a 4runner, but you've got me wondering if I could fit 35's. You're running 2" body lift and 1.5" BJ spacers and clear the 35's with no rub?

 

hey man....things are good. Joe's 4runner is up and running and currently my daily ride. my exhaust disintegrated back in June so it's been parked since then. currently doing alot of little things to my truck to finally bring it to the point of where it should have been for a long time.

 

finally just got all the way through your build, it took me a day or two...amazing stuff...keep up the good work. love the green paint too.

 

Haha ya I hear you. You rig will look sweet all armored up!

Actually I never did...My fiance and I are right in the middle of moving and planning the final details for our wedding so the timing belt took a back seat for at least a little while. I am hoping to get it done in the next week or so but we'll see how it goes.

 

Hey rob glad to see you back around. Also glad to see you useing that runner for what you built it for.

 

hey rob been gone for a wile the runner looks sick with the 35s

 

just read this whole thread, whats goin on with the 4runner man?

 

X2! What have you been up to?

 

He rolled it, had it fixed, repainted it and now he needs to wheel it. He got cut off at work from using forums so that is why you never see him.

 

nice build so far. love the entire underside lift. i wish i could but i dont wanna redo the front arb bumper for a body lift. my only other option would be to cut into the cab and lift everything up but thats a no go too lol. those 35s are nice but the stock 7 inch rims and 12.5 inch tires is not a good idea. should look into 10 inch wide rims

 

Bump for some progress pics Rob. I have that extra steering box if you still want it.

 

That truck looks mean with the 35's love the stock wheels with that combo. Looks like the parts truck was a score for you! your fabrication work looks nice.

 

That truck looks fantastic with the 35's, love the stock wheels with that combo. Looks like the parts truck was a score for you! your fabrication work looks nice.
