well, I just got done pulling the axles out of the 89 4runner and the 00 tacoma. i have the 4runners axle all bolted in in the tacoma it took my brother and i about 5 hours including cooking up brats and eating, not too bad i thought. now it is time for the tacoma e-locker rearend to go into the 4runner. While i have it all apart, i'm thinking of doing a chevy spring swap, but then the 4runner will have an awful rake to it. sooooo, what should i do, the solid axle swap isn't budgeted until this winter. how bad will it look? i have the torsion bars cranked right now.

 

Bump!

 

I don't mind the look of a racked rig but DO NOT DO IT if you plan on wheelin a lot. My freind did the 3" downey springs before the front bracket drop and the thing would get stuck in a 6" mud hole if you aren't going 20mph. TOO MUCH WEIGHT OVER THE FRONT.

 

thanks, never thought of the weight in the front issue.

 

How did this end up? Did they notice?

 

It was done and the truck is gone as of last Thursday, no problems. Although, I asked the guy who handed me the check about buying parts (even though i knew the answer) and mentioned about hearing that other people supposedly swapped motors with a 3.slow and he said that they would NOT accept them!
