Wishbone Runner's Build

I know man. I feel bad that I couldn't make it just finishing up these last couple weeks of school is keeping me busy!!

 

Nice build and awesome looking bumpers. One of my buddies is getting ready to upgrade his suspension and I will probably be helping him but wanted to know how much of a PITA it's going to be? I've done several lifts on tacos but I know 4runners rear suspension is different.

 

Thanks! They are pretty easy, shocks mount the same way, getting the springs in/out you need to spread the axle from the frame using a jack or similar, may need to disconnect the LCA depending on the spring length, but they are not bolted in and can be pulled out once you have enough space. Let me know if you have any more specific questions, happy to help.

 

You get your gas tank skid/driveshaft issue figured out?

 

Picture time!

Cliffhanger

 

After Moab it was up to Montana for 3 weeks of fishing, didn't hit too much dirt, but found some cool spots to camp. I did the trip solo, and before I left I made a sleeping platform using the cargo box and a few new pieces. I had to remove the passenger front seat and then just fold down the back section of the rear, I removed the seat portion just for more storage but it wasn't necessary for the platform.

nice fish!!

 

Looking good man. I love this build and how you utilize your rig. Awesome

 

Thanks doods!

 

After I got back from Montana, it was back to the high peaks of CO for the 4th weekend with Bob and Brett. Overall, probably close to 20K feet of vertical off road, and another 10K on road for the weekend, not too shabby.

Slashed one of my sidewalls on the 4th trip, didn't go all the way through but enough to get replaced, pretty sure I did it on one of the hundred or so culverts that were all rusty and cracked littering the trails. I had literally just put this one on and it had less than 400 miles on it. Discount tire to the rescue though, $17 for a new one :banana:
