TW's active 4runner builders BS thread

You gots to do it then

 

he says he bought them in 2011 and it only has 20k on them...never been rebuilt. I just find it hard to believe he's only driven that many miles in 5 years.

 

Then do a rebuild first? And ya never know if it wasn't his DD

 

I'll do a rebuild if he goes down in price.

 

About to pull the trigger on King shocks front/rear and some 2" Icon coil springs.

 

Also, anyone know what adapter I would need to mount the rears?



I suppose I could call fox..but that requires work.

 

Send them my way...I love Fox and it's one of the clients I handle at work.

Those should be good to go and rebuilds aren't bad if you have to. For the rears I doubt they will work. They are probably the Tacoma 0-1" and those are way too short for a lifted application. What is he asking?

 

he's asking 850 for the front. I figured the rears wouldn't work

 

Not a bad deal since they are resi but also will need attention at some point due to age and a loss of nitrogen. I'd say $700 would be a good deal.

What kind of wheeling do you do? If it's occasional fire roads and slow crawling then just get those saw's as they will be perfect and the $450 you save can go toward rear shocks or UCA's (highly recommend them, really helped with the feel and wheeling in my 4Runner).

 

You can't build 2 trucks at once, it's unfair haha

 

So I'm thinking of adding a 6" blitzpro light bar to my daughters power wheels jeep for when we go camping. I'm thinking of just getting a small battery like this to power it. http://m.northerntool.com/products/shop~tools~product_200390371_200390371?hotline=false Think it would work?

 

That's what I was thinking. I have an automotive battery charger and I will see if that will work at all. I'd throw it on only when we go camping and just use a quick disconnect to power it.

 

@4Running Daily
What'd you do with your original LCAs when you put in the cleaner set?

 

Hence my hesitation. I just want a comfy camping rig and a 2" lift would hit the mark.

 

my taco needs some lovin.. need to start building it soon

 

Nice job...I wish I had enough room to do this also!! I might end up sticking my 2nd battery in the back?? Don't want to, but I'd really like to run an additional battery. Oh well, it on hold for now...maybe towards the end of summer??

 

I wish there was more room under these things. I have a small tank and comp where your second battery is but it's not enough for tires. Just my horn

 

Settled for the SAWs. Putting the saved money elsewhere. Thanks @SCRunner12

 

Awesome, they will work perfect. People get caught up in the resi and click adjusters but 75% of them will never use them. They are a nice add on and if you have the money then might as well go for it, but I know with my 4Runner as a DD I would have never used it to their potential. Like I said use the cash on rear shocks or UCA's. Both will be worth it and do more than resi's ever will. Also the SAW's are 650lb coils which will be perfect if you add any weight up front (bumper, winch or skids).

 

does anyone run 700# coils on the coilovers ??
