My bet is 4x4labs did the work or something. It is shown on their site before lift. It has the bumpers and can in the back. Very nice. I like it. Haven't yet found any other info. I like the rear bumper.

 

Yeah, I don't want the guy to think i am a stocker... I was hoping he was on here, maybe just lurking or something. Maybe someday when i can actually go wheeling i'll try to get intouch with him...

That guy lives around me, I see him fairly often. 4x4labs did the axle swap and the rear bumper. Looks WAY nice!

 

post on pirate4x4... somebody there has to know him

 

Well...after a little "stalkerish" snooping....

It's a 1998, and was last smogged in Dublin, and prior to that in Castro Valley.

 

That type of link setup is called "radius arms" FWIW. That's what most of the TTORA SAS guys run. I'd probably prefer leafs to that but a 3-link would be ideal.

 

I wasn't sure if youd consider them radius arms or not, but i guess they are pretty similar. I really wish i would have gotten to talk to him. Oh well someday maybe i'll see him again.

Most of the Taco's that are SAS'd are usually Wagoneer leafs, At least in Norcal. There are a couple of coil conversions, but most of them are leafs.

 

Dick Foster and a few of the other guys have the radius arm setup. I saw them out on a run at Hollister a few months ago.

 

Dick is the only person (That i know of) that is running radius arms. Dean (black D-cab) is running a three link that works pretty good. Dick's truck does very well, and rides very nice on the road.

 

sorry to bring this post back up but I saw that 4runner at 4wheelparts in oakland today. Sick a** 4runner. I talked with the guy for a little while. He said everything was done at 4x4 labs, and then basically told me everything else that has already been said by others on this post. High pinion dana 44 front 60 rear. It looked basically the same as the pictures but a little dirtier and more scratches from wheeling. He said he was going to fordyce this weekend. Just thought I would add to the post...

nice looking 4runner. im curious as to what he has done with his winch line? was i the only one to notice?

 

That is crazy, wish I had the money to have all that AND pay a shop to do all the work, must be nice. :cry:

 

not a fan of the mudflaps either...sometimes its the little things that count. other than that...that is one sweet fully loaded 3rd gen. i hope it has the s/c in it.

 

Very nice lookin runner.

 

sweet 4runner. coilovers are sick...as are the bumpers on that rig.

looks way too tall and top heavy for my liking though...

fordyce will own a few pieces of his body paneling on that rig though...

 

The work looks definetly top notch, and the underside of that thing looks cleaner than when I first got mine.

I dont like the rock crawler + pre-runner look though. The rear needs some extra height. What again did he have the rear?
