JD Fab Long Travel

Brand New JD Fab 84-95 2wd Toyota dual shock kit with JD Fab full steering kit. 6" wider per side, billet upper and billet tie-rods, everything else chromoly. All grade 8 hardware, hiems, mis-allignments, bushings, uniballs included. Already has Toyota solid axle spindle snouts mounted to the uprights (allows for use of Toyota 4wd rotors and 4wd V6 calipers)

It is currently mounted on my project truck that has never been finished, therefore, the mounting tabs and the plates for the frame are not included but can be purchased from JD Fab or i can make you new ones (unless you want to buy the frame/cab also).

This entire set up cost $6,245 from JD Fab with coilovers or $5,045 without. I do have brand new King coilovers for this setup that can be included. They are for sale seperately, so they may not be available for ever.

I would like $4500 without coilovers or $5250 with coilovers. I will include the cab/frame/title for $500 more

Sick stuff. Too bad it's not the T1 kit or I'd scoop it up...

Pretty darn close, the differences of the widths (factory) of the t-100 and the 3rd gen mini's is 6" exactly, so the only thing that would change is that this would be +3" wider per side for a T-100 as opposed to +6" per side for the mini's. An a-arm is an a-arm (as long as it is built with the right geometery) and these dont use all the factory mounts anyhow so it could be mounted to any set of frame rails as long as you made mounts/tabs. The centerlink might have to be "lenghthened" (new one made) depending on frame width of the T-100 but i would bet it could be used. Heck if you are interested i could drop the price and sell it without the steering components then you could buy/make your own for a T-100 with a 3" wider arm kit??

I was talking about the 3" mini-truck kit. They used to call it the "T1 Kit" but it looks like that has changed.

Oh yeah, their 4x4 kit, that is the only one they make for the minis that was 3" wider. So why would you be interested in the 3" and not the 6"? This is a MUCH better kit and the price i am selling for is barely higher than what they used to sell the 3" kit for? If you are worried about it being too abnoxiously wide, with 35x12.5 tires it was only 79.75" outside to outside of tires. 80" is 7Open specs and that is what i was shooting for. The rims are what kept it narrower, i had wheels that had a 0 offset which is better for the wheel bearings anyhow.

Here is a few shots showing it with 35's on it, and remember there are no fenders or doors on it so it looks even wider than it would normally, still isnt stupid wide either...









If interested I have LOTS of other parts for this build that i never used...fuel cell, fiberglass, seats, harnesses, race radio, coilovers, 9" with gears/spool and trussed/tabbed for 4 link, 5/8's wheel studs and other misc things. i would be willing to make a package deal out of it all and could even help deliver it a certain distance.

I'm not looking to go full on race with my Runner. I just like the idea of using long travel for a DD/weekend warrior set-up. Thanks though, and good luck on the sale.

Wow, that is some sweet stuff there. I wish there were something like this for the 86 4Runner.

Bitchen kit! I still need front suspension for my 87 race project, but its a 4x4 chassis. Probably going to run a TC Gen 3 kit on mine.

But has anybody see JD's new 4x4 based race kit? http://jdfabrication.com/index.php?o...d=15&Itemid=33

I wouldn't mind running it on my truck but its a loooot of money...JD makes super nice stuff though.

Here's a bump for ya anyway!

I am interested in knowing how this is going to work on a 4X4, what are those details. Do you know of any other companies making a better IFS for the 86 4Runner besides the one I have seen made by Downey?

Looks like they use pretty much all new mounts so it could probably work on a 4x4 chassis, however, you still wouldn't have 4wd being its a lift spindle. Im actually kind of curious about that now though. I wonder what the difference in frames and steering is on the 4x4 versus the 2x4?

And www.chaosfab.com or the link to JD I posted above both have long travel 4x4 kits for 86-95 4x4 Toyotas. They both make great stuff.

G-Off is correct, you would have to cut all the factory mounts from your frame and would no longer have 4wd. Basically your frame would just be two smooth rails in the front, make new tabs/mounts for this kit and go to town.

Its an ICOM IC-V8000. Still in the box, but was "modified" by PCI when i bought it for more range/frequencies.

Normally lists for $299, the cheapest i have seen is $229 on sale.

I will ship it for $200.
