Here is a little progress on the 4runner. I finally got it out of the shop today. It has been in for a week getting a bunch of parts installed for the pismo trip. Its been a long wait. It was first supposed to be done on Monday, but I finally got it back today. Here are the details:

Total Chaos Gen II Caddy Kit
8” King Coilovers
Heimed Steering
Frame Truss
Lower Uniball Conversion
Deaver F85 3-Leaf Add a Leafs
Glassworks Fiberglass Fenders
4.88 Gears
Detroit Locker (Rear)
Detroit Trutrac (Front)





Well Now I’m off to pismo. See the rest of you who are going up tomorrow.

 

Looks good! Let us know how it performs.

 

Looks good--you and Deathrunner will need to get together for a high speed desert run.

 

oh yeah!

 

Jealous! SO jealous.

 

I absolutly love my Chaos front end, wife didnt. Pretty expensive.
Check out my website on all the fun putting it together. Comments here or on my Blog would be appreciated.

I have been scoping ou tthe total chaos set up. I am wondering about the width of the truck. With the total chaos installed, is the front wheels of the truck have a wider track than the rear? ans if it does, do you match up the width of the rear, and what do you use to widen the rear?

Thanks
Kent

 

Sweet man, really sweet now I'm jealous. As far as widening it yes it widens the front end something like 6", I dunno what you can do to widen a Yota rear end 6 inches tho.

 

front track does increase.. most people use the wheel spacers to get the extra width in the rear... or just leave it alone.. you can also use different offset wheels.... or swap rear ends from a differnt truck like the taco

 

I got a chance to check this out in person today!
NICE work in the front end

Pinnacle did awesome out in the dunes but definitely could have used a little more oomph going up some of the big ones.

 

Flex pics, Flex pics, Flex pics....!!!

 

The only flex shots we have.

 

Thanks for all the compliments. I had a really good time in pismo breaking the kit in. The onlny problem I had is one of the uniballs got dry and started making a lot of noise, but otherwise the kit performs awesome.

If you guys are going to have a run next month I'll be down there.

The front is wider by 3.25" per side or 6.5" total. The difference in track width is not a big deal and doesnt bother me too much. The only real cheap option to making the rear wider is getting wheel spacers.

 

Hey, here are a couple of pics of my 87 22RET in Moab just after doin all the work on it. It did great, as good and even better then the jeeps that I went with.

Hey That's me.

Looks good dude. I am jealous of the coilovers. I want to see those things flex. Also you gotta tell me how the tripple pack feels I got a buddy who wants em, but I told him to wait until I get your word.

When I first took my kit out my upper uniballs made some noise, but it went away. The runner is looking good.

 

Why is it Michael Jackson's Toyota...I don't get it. It wasn't as apparent as you made it out to be.

 

Its not Michael Jacksons Toyota, its michael jacksons A toyota. Got the truck from a friend of mine, the paint was fading pretty bad everywhere on it and it was half black and half white. Thats why he called it Michael Jackson. Get it!
See Ya. JMach

 

It's on his first posting from Feb of 2005 I think... burried deep in the vaults of blog since he probably is ashamed of it's source... from a half drunken man

 

Ok, I thought that's where you were going with it, wasn't sure though. Didn't see that post. What Torsion bars are you running with that kit? pretty good flex in moab

 

Hey Seth, How is your 4runner coming?

The deavers are awesome. They ride so smooth, even with crappy shocks. My only complaint is the amount of lift. I beat them pretty good last weekend and they have settled a bit. They only gave me about 1-1.5" of lift. So I'm going to add a lift shackle to level it out. Other than that I'm really impressed with both the front and rear setup.
