Hey guys long time lurker on the forum i am 19 workin at a tire shop and have owned toyotas all my life on 7/4/11 i rolled my newly built 1st gen 4runner so i decided that i would get a better rig so i picked up a 96 runner with 138 k on the clock 5 speed manual for 5 k and had plans to sas from day 1 the parents didnt like that idea but i did it any way, so specs for the build are:

ruff stuffs 3 link kit front
radius arm rear with ome 851 coils
2.0 foa coilovers 250 over 350 spring rates
32.5 inch lowers a 33 inch upper if i remember right
waggy 44 open diff with 4.88's
rear is going to stay stock e locker with 4.88's
37x12.50 15 old style mtrs with 95 % tread on them

pictures soon to come when i figure out how to downsize them lol

 

Here are some pics

 

here are some more pics sorry they are out of line but cool anyways

 

teaser pic then my rolled 85

 

Nice, glad to see you didn't go with leafs. Looking forward to the action shots!

 

I've always been taught go big or go home, and sometimes its better to go home but this time i figured if i'm gonna do it might as well spend some more $$ and get a sick rig and upgrade the suspension opposed to retro fit it with leafs

 

im watchin this one!

 

I think you need to give me a full list of parts, i wana do the same thing an i have the same yr n model as you. And how much it cost so far?

 

awesome man, that thing looks sick! where are the rear radius arms from? I really want some for my second gen...

 

Bigger pics! Use a hosting site like photobucket, etc.

 

I am not good at this whole adding pictures things! but what i did for the radius arms is use the stock lower arms and stock brakets and cut them and made them work! i will do a parts list after i write it all down

4.88 gears and master install kit

more pics

 

thats the drivers side upper mount and lower and a side view of the links. frame height as it sits right now is 24"

 

alright guys here is an update. the 14 inch coilovers with 250 over 350 is too stiff. and running the tg shock hoops they are too big. so i called foa and i sent the coilovers back and i'm gonna be getting some 12's with a 150 over 200 and try that out. everything else is pretty much set to go the power steering is bled brakes are bled. its just sitting on dummy shocks till i get the 12's. i'm gonna be shooting for around 4 or 5 inches of up travel with the rest down. hope you guys enjoy the pictures!

 

That's a awesome looking rig you have there, any updates?
