TW's active 4runner builders BS thread

They're crash test proven kind of

They were on a friends truck when he got hit and rolled 4 times on the freeway. Upper arms and spindles survived. Aren't bent, but his stock lca snapped near the lower ball joint

 

Well you need a whole different spindle. The aftermarket uniball uppers are less safe than the stock ball joint. They also use a slug. If the slug pops out for any reason, there is this cute little c-clip that does absolutely nothing.

 

Hopped on one of the AllPro group buys forever ago. They've been collecting dust for a while.

I was able to do the UCA bolt but didn't know how to even start the spindle bolt. Hopefully I'll get some weld on spindle gussets this summer and I don't think that should be too hard to do. I just have to find some good directions on weld on spindle gussets so I know what I'm getting myself in to

 

So what you're saying is you'll help me install those camburgs in my truck then?

 

Got some driving in before hitting the slopes this morning..

 

Duh

 

Of course haha.

We need to polish Aaron's truck soon too

 

When I did the UCA install...omg fking pain. I would gladly have paid 50 bones and a case. Good deal.



I miss truck stuff, man! wtf.

 

Saw the new owner just put on a CBI rear bumper... you blew it

 

yah, he sent me a pic of it. At least he's doing things to it...not a fan of the roof rack though but what say do I have? I'm an idiot.

 

I agree with you there on the roof rack but at least he's appreciating the build. So when are you selling the Subaru and buying another 4Runner?

 

Giving it some time. I want truck bed but 2nd gen taco's are still up there in price. I might even go 1st gen tundra next if I could find a crew cab.

 

If I were to sell mine right now, I'd probably go for a 1st gen Tundra. Not super inflated, v8, big, bed, has some off-road support with companies

 

Crew cab 4x4?

 

Yeah the guy who bought my 4runner did some things I didn't like but that's how it goes. He also sold it after 1 year so I have no clue where it is now.

Yes come to the dark side....

 

Sweet! I've been thinking of polishing my truck too. These pinstripes are adding up somehow. I'm sure it'll be worse after the meet haha

 

i think i'd be real happy with a DCSB 4x4 2nd gen.

 

2nd gens are nice. Looks like my next vehicle will probably be domestic

 

i absolutely want a new Sierra. same set up CCSB 5.3 would make me a very happy guy

 

I doubt that. Have you driven one? You'd be way lacking in space.
