looks great

 

ha! i look like a goon in that hi-lift pic. that was me lifting/lowering it sloooowly.

anyway, no problem on helping out, erik. it's the yota way
your new monster truck looks good, even my dad said it's clean looking.

 

Hey Charles, those wheels don't looked beadlocked and seem to be a bit on the small size

 

what's that, i couldn't hear you over the LOUD hum of your MTRs!

aye, in a few days i shall be back to normal and no more microtires.

 

4runners coming along very well. I like it alot. Good work guys.

 

All this time I thought I'd get ripped for my boards and it turned into a Charles Roast! Poor guy! Thanks again man!

 

oh okay, take off yer running boards!

i kid, sir. those stubbs sko's will look good. but remember, if you should happen to find yourself on a trail, a rock might "accidently" "ruin" (still gotta sell em, right) your running boards in the mean time.

 

btw, LOOSE THE RUNNING BOARDS!!! haha

 

Erik,

Nice!!!! What happened to the lower part of your bumper? I couldn't figure out why the body lift looked much different than your original lift so I went to your website and noticed the bottom lip of your bumper is gone. Does it not go on anymore with the lift or you just decided to leave it off?

 

HEY EDWIN!!! What's up dude. Yeah, there is a height difference... it's awesome. I'll be back at work on Wednesday. You'll have to come by and check it out.

There are a few shots just UNDER the bumper where there are 2 parts that "jut out" from the frame. I think they are to reinforce the bumber if in an accident. However, when you do the lift, those parts stay down and the bumper moves up. Those stupid "juts" make it where the valance won't go on properly without either cutting the "juts" off of doing a slight cutout of the valance. I am going to do the ladder... but not until tomorrow.

Have a great Labor Day. Oh, and Charles... update your link to your "4Runner Site". It doesn't work.

 

Cool. Post pics once done. (I don't know why I say this because I know you will.) Definitely see you on Wed. Can't wait to see the monster truck...

 

On a 2" body lift, I did the 4crawler one on my 2000, you move the front bumper up w/ the body to close the gap because the front bumper attaches to the FRAME. When you put on the front bumper 2" lift plate it just lifts the bumper from the front, thus you can't use those "juts" on the side anymore, unless you make some lift plates for those as well, but there is no need as the (4) bolts are more than enough to hold on that big piece of sheet metal.

I don't see why your bumper would be hitting those "juts" but I certainly wouldn't cut anything, especially the valance, as when you wanna go back to stock then it won't be stock anymore cause you've cut on it. With the 4crawler body lift and moving up the bumper w/ his stuff, you shouldn't be hitting anything.

Where are the pics you speak of?

 

On some years of 3rd gens (and Tacomas), those "horns" on the frame may get in the way depending on the lift height. On other years there is a piece bolted between them in front of the frame.
