Can someone with a first gen double cab measure their wheel base from center of front hub to center of rear drum/disc? Wanna make sure my measurement is accurate

 

The wheel base? Think stock is 121.9" is the stock wheel base.

 

Anyone running f67s with 12" shackle on a first gen? I need some measurements. I have a customers truck here that American Motorsports did some work on and I am suspicious that the shackles are mounted way too far forward.

 

Should be 52.5" between the front pivot and the shackle pivot.

 

I run mine at 52.5" too with a 12" shackle over frame.

 

I've been told over and over again that 52.5 is really only for the precomas. I Just set it based on shackle angle at full droop. But if it did come from American Motorsports it is definitely wrong.

 

well..seeing as to how pre tacos leafs are 3'' shorter than 98-04 tacomas..not sure they share the same measurements..now 95-97 tacos do have the same hangers and mounts as per tacomas. But 98-04s the fronts are 1'' further forward on the frame and the shackles are 2'' further back.

This is stock of course.

 

I was concerned with the location of the front hanger. Not so much the shackle location. I'm stripping the pack tomorrow to bump it and finish the cage.

 

Here is a comparison from Jason, JD and Nathan.



Here's a link to where I got the pic.

What do you guys recommend for a weekend warrior Tubing Notcher?

 

Harbor freight knotcher. Only 45 bucks

 

^^^^ yup on this. You'll might have to mod it to square it up. But it gets the job done.

 

If anyone knows someone looking for a prerunner, Ill give $100 if you refer someone and they buy my truck, details on it are in my build thread

 

I'm guessing the 3rd pic is way wrong?

 

thats is jds, his truck works perfectly.

he has that thing dialed

 

It really depends on how you make that front hanger. As you can tell they are all slightly different. I measured the length of my leaf pack from axle to front eyelet with about 5 trial and error so the axle would bump in the stock location. I just used frame reference points to figure out the other side location so my truck doesn't drive sideways.

 

Anyone know of any production bumpers for a 96-02 4runner? Good buddy just got one, he's looking for something but I don't have the time to help him build it.
Any ideas?

Out door logic i think.

Demello maybe..

CBI and TG of course.

 

To be honest. I never seen these trucks and never set up a rear so these guys here could answer it better then me.

Juan pretty much answered it.
