Hey guys its been awhile since i've been around, but I was wondering how many bobbed and dovetailed 4runners exist out there, I just did mine about a month ago, and what pics i took of the process i'll upload when i find my phone memory card adapter, but ya i was curious b/c it was a pita to do what i did.

 

how she sits now


before i painted it but done with the bed swap bob and dovetail





and this was what it looked like b4 i destroyed the ds bedside which is what resulted in the bed swap bob and dove.

 

Pics way too small to see anything.

 

did you dove bob and dovetail the top to match? because that would be awesome..

 

I plan on doing a dove bob hardtop to match, but bare with me, cuz i'm waitin till summer to do that so the glass is easier to mess with

 

man need some bigger pictures to really see anything!

 

Hey guys I posted a build thread . Click on the link in my sig... It's def got bigger pictures in it lol. U can c things alot better

 

My old 4Runner was bobbed 14" and dovetailed 12", it's a lot of work but worth the effort . I cut that rig up a couple years ago and built a new one, but I still miss it sometimes!

The old 4Runner

 

Hey Dirtco check out my build, lot more pics and i went 10 and a lil change on my dove, and thank u for posting a pic of the rear... I havent done my springs yet and was racking my brain on how to incorporate the shackle hanger into a rear bumper... do u by chance think u could see if u have some miore pics, or maybe some specs...?

 

AND dirtco... ur rig was my inspiration btw. ur new one is a beautiful 86 or 86 turboed isnt it?

 

Thanks! That means alot!

These are the best pictures I could find of the rear bumper / shackle mounts, I had 63" Chevys on the 4Runner so they were pretty long.









The new 4Runner is a 86' Turbo 4Runner, I love it!

 

Thanks dirtco that will help alot because my main thing was gusseting and I love how ur gussets extend out past te bumper instead of building the gussets on the front side and making the bumper sit flush with the rear of the mount if that makes sense... And ur welcome dirtco... And I didn't really realize ur rig was my inspiration until posted andthen I remembered that all my ideas as far as body went came from the od green raise Ed 4runner on yotatech lol which is urs but thanks for posting those pics
