I am going to be doing a Total Chaos long travel kit to my girlfriends 99 4runner and need to do a lil more research before i decide which shocks to go with and the best rearend set up. I have searched this site and found lil on what i need. I want to find a TOYOTA based desert running/ long travel site like YOTATECH only different.

Here is a pic of the RUNNER... its a lil snowy out but you get the point


here is a non-snowy pic

 

I'd say check out TTORA. They've got a grip of LT guys on there.

 

go KING shocks. KINGS, and the total chaos long travel... sexiness.

 

2nd that

 

pirate 4x4 also has a toyota prerunning section with some really knowledgeable guys.

 

Thanks for the tips. I'll be checkin it out

 

Third that..

And check out race-dezert.com...er something like that

 

TTORA has a lot of desert guys, search for a build thread by "Chaplain" for the pure sexay 3rd gen long travel rear suspension setup.

 

Oh man, that guy's rig is just awesome. Pure awesomeness.

 

ive been googling all this stuff for way too long, i dont need to be told to google or search. im looking for feed back from people, new and old not just old threads builds/info. hopefully someone that has all ready done this (that i have not all ready found and read will chime in) thanks for the web address.

 

happy-smiley build is also awesome overthere on ttora. he has gone through every longtravel out there and now he is building his own. (Tacoma) v6 trd

 

no no, I wasnt being a search nazi, Just trying to make my point of, I've never really been to Race Dezert and it has a weird name, So if you came up with some 404 try "race dezert" in google..
But yeah.

 

I apologize i thought you were bein a search nazi, i hate it when people say that. its like if you dont have anything constructive to say or at least constructive critisism than dont say anything at all, ya know?

 

haha, well I am guilty of that every now an again..

But good luck with the LT build..

 

Here's a read on a top notch rear end build. This is by the previously mentioned "Chaplain". https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f88/...runner-132149/

 

why do a long travel to your girl friends rig? That is a lot of money, its like throwing 2 grand into something that you cannot drive that much. Well i am a stingy so it won't get it. I just help people in other ways by giving my time or skills.

 

were doin a long travel rig because we have my sas truck for muddin technical rock crawlin and what not. and we visit the oregon dunes almost monthly so her 4runner will see lots of use and abuse. long travel-dunes just makes sense. wwe rally the piss out of her rig on the dunes and this is just gonna make it easier on the runner,

 

Cause a long traveled runner is badass. enough said there.

Uhh wtf do you mean cant drive that much, a LT truck is just as road friendly as stock if not more..

 

I think he meant he can't drive it that much because it's his gf's 4runner. Another good site is http://dezertrangers.com/ , they focus on rangers but there are some nice toyotas on there too

 

Dude - just a warning ... keep personal and financial junk separate. IF things don't work out, do you realy want her driving away with a couple grand worth of your money bolted on her rig?
