Smokin'

 

Sweet dude, going to Yotajam?

 

As much as I want to, prolley not this year, I still have to re-adjust my SAWs and I just ordered Demello Sliders... and want those installed... not to mention the obligatory oil, tranny, dif fluid change, and since my airbox got destroyed in the accident redo my deckplate mod... and and and...

=)

All small stuff I know...

 

looks like they did a great job putting it back together.

 

Sweet Bumper and Truck to go along with it

 

Oh my Ducky,
Does that look sweet.
I know your 4Runner is a few years newer than mine but did it install just like the Tacoma's.
There is a bolt that you are suppose to be able to bolt straight into the frame rail (where the end caps were removed. The holes on mine did not line up. How was yours set up?

Mike

 

deja vu, looking good
i installed mine as well
i used air tools so it wasn't too bad
& i didn't split any skin

 

Not a single thing you mentioned should keep you from YotaJam! If you do not make it, I will have some choice words for you!

BTW: That rig is looking SWEET!

 

In the kit they come with the "blocks" you bolt onto the end of the frame rails, I didn't use them... (If thats what your talking about) I had a big plate welded at the end of each rail that had to be cut off... (I was amazed how small and thin the frames look) but obviouly held up well in my accident... then you all know the rest, drill a hole mount up the brackets... slide the bumper on.. Curse some.... ok.... alot... think that its not going to work.... and be amazed how it fits when you just shimmy it around.. the only difference from my friends tacoma install, was his gap between the fender and the top of the bumper seems closer, although I like my gap... because if it gets hit, it wont f-up my fender... I hope...

Anyone else who has Lightforce 170's I have a question.... My friends 170's didnt have anything on the back of his lights.. mine have a tube that they said I HAVE to install or it will void my warranty... I ran them into my engine compartment, and they have a filter on the end, no doubt a breather of some sort... my question is, is this a new thing or old?

 

Yup. Mine came with all the 2000 + parts as well.
The only way I could see using the bolts was to weld a plate like you and Schaeffer did.


BTW UNLIMITED96. Since you have the 96, how did you bolt yours? Did you have to weld as well?


Thanks

 

Wait.. Im not sure if I read that right... I didnt have to bolt that block on the end of the rails... I CUT the plate off.... I didnt weld it on...

Am I confusing or what?

 

Picked my ARB up from Overnite Transport after work today.Holy s*** was it in a big box,barely fit in the back of my Tacoma.I can't wait till Saturday to install it.Yours looks great hope mine looks as good on my 03.

 

Sweet, is their a difference between a TJM and an ARB or is it just 2 different companies making the same thing, different name of course

 

Looking sweet Ducky...

What rims are those, they remind me of the Land Rover Defender 110 Alloy rims that I wanted to put on my rig, but Land Rover are 5 hole, not 6...

 

Stock toyota rims...


One of these days I might be tempted to get steel black rims... but I think these look nice..

 

As far as difference, there are... You might want to search, theres several ppl banging their heads on whats better, ARB or TJM... the only thing I remember hearing is TJM might have better approach angle...

 

Was it an option.. if so what do they call them..

Thanx

 

You know? Im not sure if they were an option, Mine is a sport, maybe it came as a sport package... Not sure though.. anyone know?

 

i SO need to hit the lotto so i can afford all this stuff :pat:
