Well, I finally did it, I am lifted!

This past Friday evening and Saturday morning, I managed to get my OME gear installed on my 4Runner, WAHOO!

I purhcased a set of used 881's with comfort shocks from Phong and new rear gear from Mike at Xtreme, 891 coils and standard shocks, and a revtek diff drop kit. Big thanks to these two guys for great deals on all the gear! (Mike - grab the pics below from webshots if you like!)

The results: I ended up with 2 inches up front and 3 inches in the rear. I was not able to use the CB 1 inchers up front that were included as part of the package from Phong. With these on, I was at over three inches of lift in the front, and the CVs were way too severe. I'm keeping 'em around, though, just in case I get the funds for a new front bumber.

The ride: One word ~EXCELLENT! This is such an improvement over stock that I am really sorry I waited so long to upgrade. WHat else can I say...

Here's a teaser:



There a few more pics (before and after) in my Webshots Album .

I also installed my version of Lars' swar bar discos. These things are really cool. Thanks for posting all of your research for our benefit, Lars. Now I just need some bigger meats to fill up that gap in wheel wells...LOL!

Let me know what you guys think.
Cheers!

 

Looks Awesome Jayson!

Sorry I've been such a flake with email.

Good to see you taking the plunge. Nice job!

No worries, Galen, I know you're still out there, somewhere...LOL!

Thanks for the compliment!

 

Dude, It look great!

That's exactly the same amount of lift I got.

When are we getting together???

 

Beautiful!!!!!

That's still the Reddest looking Runner I've seen

 

Looks real good! I sure love that red, keep it up

 

WOOO HOOO!

Looks great! Tell us more about these disco's of yours.....

 

Thanks guys!

Yeah, we all need to get together again. I'm going to Vegas on Wed thru the weekend, so it will have to be in a couple of weeks. WE need to do something up norht here so we can invite Adrian, and anyone else who is interested, of course. Jim- did you guys do anything on sunday?

 

Tom-

I just followed Lars instructions for making a set on my own:

larsdennert.com

They are similar to the Nuke design, but adjustable, depending on the amount of lift you have.

 

Ohh, ok, I thought you might have come up with your own design or something, based on what Lars had done.

 

No, we didn't meet on Sunday. He was out at Ft. Sumner at an event & I forgot it was Father's day too, so I wasn't able to do anything anyways.

I will be basically unavailable til after the weekend of the 4th of July due to work.

I would like to get together though, before CO4RJ so we can test things out a little bit.

OOPS SORRY, OFF-TOPIC

 

Nice!! I love the look of a clean lifted 4Runner.

Martin

 

Yeah, i really need to remedy the "clean" part, don't you think?

 

im not a fan of the color red, on anything except the U.S.A. flag, but,, that Runner is SWEET
