I guess it is about time to do my own profile on YT since I have recieved alot of PMs asking for pics with the OME suspension. The truck is designed for mostly highway driving (about 95%) with the occasional offroad trip (maybe 5%) to a trailhead or such (for mountain biking, hiking, ATVs, etc).

Here are the stock specs on the truck:

• 1996 4runner SR5
• 3.4L, Auto
• 4WD (no locker :cry: )
• Towing Pkg
• 16" rims w/ 31" tires

INTERIOR:

• Sony CDX-M730

• Viper 550ESP alarm/remote starter

• LATCH system installed for baby carseat

SUSPENSION:

Front

• Springs - OME 881's
• Shocks - OME N91SC
• No trim packers, no diff drop

• Energy Suspension steering rack bushings - You feel the road alot more (bumps, vibrations, tires out of balance, improper alignment, etc), but it also feels alot tighter and more sport tuned (like you made it one step closer to a german car). It is a PITA to do, but after seeing what the originals looked like and how much the steering rack moved when turning, I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

Rears

• Springs - OME 906's (used to have 890's but changed them out)
• Shocks - OME N86C
• No trim packers, no panhard drop or drop bar

TIRES:

Winter

• P265/70R16 Michelin Lattitude X-ice
• Stock alloy "six spoke" rims

Summer

• P265/70R16 Michelin LTX M/S
• Sport "coke bottle" rims

ENGINE/TRANSMISSION

• Hayden 1678 tranny cooler (now P/N 678)
• 4" Deckplate
• Amsoil T-115 filter

......OK, now the pics!!!

Keep in mind these pics are taken on my driveway which is not even close to level on both axes so depending on the angle the pic is taken from (the angle throws off the perspective from how it really looks) the truck may look like it has more or less lift than it actually does. I'll try and take some on level ground at a later date (after I do a few more mods).

Before any suspension work....

FUTURE MODS:

• Tundra front brakes (have all the stuff, just haven't installed them)
• Sliders
• Black sport fender flares
• Bob's center console mod
• If I got a smokin deal on a S/C I might go for that too!

........still in progress.

As mentioned, don't post in this profile!!!!
If you have any questions, just PM me.

 

Here's a shot on totally level ground:

 

Just washed it and LTX M/S tires and my sport rims are on for summer (rarely is it that clean):



Man, I can't help but smile, I love the way those look!

 

I just changed out my OME 890's for 906's, but I'll wait a little bit to let the new ones settle and then I'll post pics.
