4Runner feature in Off Road magazine

This 4Runner is worth having a look at. Very nice. Some things I noticed in particular...

2wd
Looks like no body lift, but is running 35's
King coilovers in the rear
Camburg long travel in the front with glass (and it's painted! whoa!)
Nice engine hoop
looks to have a computer screen in the engine bay?
dual batteries
Nice seats!
Scrapped the driver's airbag

Looks like a VERY FUN ride indeed!!

Old news I guess...

Dang! I did a quick search to try and make sure it wasn't old news. Oh well...

:pat:

2wd isn't so bad for pre-running - it's alot easier to do the front end, that's for sure.

seriously, he claims to have 15 inches of IFS travel, easy enough unless you want to run power to those wheels

I have the artical from 2 years ago when this dude was in SUV magizine it was called 4Muller (i think). It looked exactly the same minus the dirt, I guess It was not as ragged out back then. I'll try to scan it in and post.
