looking for Long Travel 96 4Runner pics
A few months ago i saw some pictures of a Bright Red 96 4Runner 4x4. The front sheet metal had been removed, and a custom long travel suspension had been built. I have searched and searched to find those pictures, and more details on that truck, but have been unable to find anything.
Anyone know where i might find more info on this truck?

I know the exact Runner you are talking about. It was sitting outside a shop. There was a massive prerunner bar on the front with tube frame around the engine. It seems like it was posted on a weekend because I saved a bunch of the pictures on my home computer. I see if I can read the name of the company on the windshield later.

OMG look how far outboard the wheels are from the body!
I bet that much travel would snap the CVs in stock position on the first jump.

I have been looking for Long-Travel kits for my Runner and every kit that provides more than 13in you cann't run the 4wd, because your CVs will be ripped off. Maybe he has them limited or something 
, just my experiance with long-travel kits.

, just my experiance with long-travel kits.The longer the CV axles, the more travel you can get without destroying them.
It is just simple geometry.
