3rd Gen 4Runner PanHard drop kits

I made a batch of 5 recently, 4 are gone already, I have 1 left.

e-mail me if you want one.

...

I'll eventually need on... sigh but it will have to wait... my vehicle is getting repaired from an accident... funny thing though, its getting aligned, and I told them about my lift and how I need a bracket for the panhard bar... and so after it gets aligned I need the bracket, then I have to get it aligned again... for some reason, this is one hell of a fragmented paragraph.. I need some coffee... bah... I hate thinking in the morning.



The End.

You probably will not need an alignment after the PanHard drop. The barcket moved the axle sideways not forward back. It also allows more droop.

They are all gone except for the one that goes to ASU Dan. Those of you who did not reply this round, I'll make more and you can catch the next batch in 2-3 weeks.

I do have the FINAL 4 sets of shakle hangers all done and ready to go. No more after these. No enough profit to justify the time to produce them.

hey Steve,

Your web site seems to say they won't fit the '97 4runner with TJM-15? Is that right?

(Edit: "they" = Shackle hangers)

thanks!

Correct. Only 1999-2002 with the TJM 15 or 17.

1997 you need to buld up the hanger built into the bracket.

I just have to say that I have both the panhard drop and the shackle hangers and that are great. The quality is top notch.

Steve - When would you have time to make a set of the bump stops? Thats all I need to complete my "Steve Schaefer collection"

Steve, I gotta hand it to ya for working in that kind of heat.
When it gets over 85 here, I veg out in front of the fan behind my rocker

I hate heat, one of the reasons I live here, as it's mellow most of the time.

Anytime, I just have to go buy 2.5" wide 1/4" flat stock.

3 pairs and dwindleing. No more after this. I'll still make PanHard brackets. Those are worth my while.

$125.00 a pair, E-mail me your zip code and I'll get you a total with shipping. These last 9 pairs are the best yet, all hand ground smooth.

EH!!! Steve, I see you used my copyrighted pics on your site without my written consent, does that mean I get some schaeckle hangers for free? Just kidding.

EDIT: notice I coined the way you should spell 'shackle?'

I asked you when you originaly posted those and you never responded. So I though you didn't care. Since you used my copy righted design to begin with.

Search your old posts. No freebies for you.

To bad you don't make a ph drop for the 2nd gens Steve, I would buy one.

Looks like I will have to take a trip to Badland Bumpers and have Jeff do some measuring, and try to fab one up some day.

I took a bunch of photos of the Downey bracket in Adrian's 4Runner when he was here. It really is a 2" drop and not a 3".

It would really be perfect for you. And hard to make since it's all stamped 1/4", it's really well built.
