My 2nd Gen 4Runner Buildup. Birth of a RocRunnr
Well it’s time to start cutting up my 4Runner.
Phase One (Time Frame: immediately - shooting to be finished by end of Nov. to middle of Dec.): - SAS using 84 axle, pieced together Marlin Crawler kit & a custom rear leaf pack. - Front HP E-Locker and Rear LP E-Locker. - R150 5 Speed swap & dual transmission setup using w56 and Gear T-Case. - 15x8 Cragar Black Stealies & 35x12.5.15 MTR's - 30 Spline Longfield Chromoly Super Birfs and Inner Axles :D :shocked: (I have a lead foot) - Hydro Steering Assist - From my research I’ve found that this can be done for around $100.00 and can be made to work without a delay. Keep watch I’ll have part #'s and a write up. Phase Two (Time Frame: First Quarter of 2006): - Rear Leaf Spring Swap - Rear FROR Floater Kit Phase Three (Time Frame: Secound to Third Quarter of 2006): - 3.4 (5VZFE) Swap. If my 3.0 takes a dump this’ll happen soon. - Custom Winch Bumper and a Warn winch to go along with it. - Bob Rear End 12-16 inches - Full Exo-Cage. Things that’ll happen between the other stuff. - There are other things that I can’t think of right now. This is what the 4Runner looked like when I got it. http://www.boagregg.com/4runner/Buildup/1.jpg This is what it looked like with the BJ Lift, 33 BFG Mud's and Cruiser Coils. http://www.boagregg.com/4runner/Buildup/3.jpg This is what it’ll some what look like after phase one. http://www.boagregg.com/4runner/Buildup/4.jpg I look forward to sharing my build with everyone and look forward to your comments (good OR bad). https://www.yotatech.com/forums/imag...lies/drink.gif ************************************************** ***************************** * PARTS LIST: .................................................. ............. * I’ll ad to this as items are purchased.

Answers to Questions I see asked on others buildups.
Here are some answers to questions I see asked on others buildups.
Q. Why a SAS you ask? A. With the money I’ve spent on CV axles and the IFS lift I could have put a LARGE dent in the cost of a SAS by now. That’s not even counting the time, blood, sweat, and tears that I’ve put into the stock suspension. If you ask me should I do a SAS or work with the stock suspension? I’d say if you think you’ll ever use the strength and articulation that a SAS will give then do the SAS and don’t mess around wasting money on the stock suspension. Q. Why E-Lockers and not an ARB Air Locker or some other Locker? A. Well to be blunt, I trust Toyota Parts so I wouldn’t have it any other way “E-Lockers are Bling Bling”! Plus I like the feeling that I’m not relying on an air compressor to keep me locked. If the E-Locker motor goes out I can manually lock the locker. Just remember KISS “Keep it Simply Silly”! |

Ya the cruizer axle is wider (63.5") & the birfields bigger & stronger .

Can't wait for pics of the build. Quick question. With the bobbing of the rear, are you going to keep in all enclosed, or do like 4Hummer, I think, did it and take the back part of the roof out where the windows are?
|
I'd make sure the Longfields and inner axle upgrade comes pretty close to Phase 1 if not a part of it...cause I've seen you drive and you'll grenade a birf and/or tear up an inner and you don't wanna mess up your lockers right off the bat.
Looks promising... :guitar: |

I’m excited, I cant wait for the cutting to begin :welder:. It’s been a lot of fun coming up with all the $$$$ to do it but I finally have lots of $$$$ to spend on the SAS and I’m ready to begin cutting. I plan to keep track of the money spent so people will know what it really cost to SAS a 1st or 2nd Gen. The fun begins this weekend with tearing apart the axle and rebuilding it. Let the good times roll. |
