TW's active 4runner builders BS thread

I give up. Cant fool you.

But this guys runner is awesome! Rotopax goals

 

Shiiii nope sorry

 

No worries, found it.

 

Look at all those possible igniters

 

Alright who here has replaced their u joints? A shop owned by a fellow 4runner owner quoted me $500 because they can't be serviced in house and they'd have to send them out to their driveshaft shop. So for $100 in parts I might as well do this shit myself. CVS are a bitch to replace sometimes so it can't be harder than that

 

No. This one has a 3rd gen but ended up with a bent frame and he bought his dads Taco. He just bought the 1st gen and still has his dads Taco.

 

I think @rjsimz is referring to a 2nd gen guy

 

removing the panhard and sway allows it to droop enough to just drop out.

 

Driving without a panhard is fun. It doesn't track 100% straight, but it certainly moves a lot more hahahah

 

thats something i probably would not try lol

I do need to get an aftermarket one though to re center my axle. Its a little off center.

 

I have a 1.5" spacer on the driver side, so that still makes it not feasible, 1.75" upper links hit the gas tank too. I still found this easier than dealing with lining the links back up, and still need to wrestle the coils even with removing links on my truck.

 

I need to build one. Hoping to get my new spindles and uppers on today. Then I can look at new projects

 

did your MT springs not have the specific driver side springs like mine do?

 

my tire gate process starts tomorrow. little nervous but also excited. Will take enough pics to document for the build thread

 

They do, I still added the spacer to even things out. I have the 1.5" spacer with the longer coil on the driver side, no inner coil bumper, and passenger I have the shorter coil with the inner bump. Sits damn near level like that. The first set of MT springs I had were the same length and still had lean, so when I swapped them with new ones last spring, things leveled right out.

 

interesting. I keep measuring mine and it hasnt sagged for the driver side yet. Im hoping it never does.

 

Adding these bad dogs from TC, so been spending some quality time with the grinder the past two days.

 

are those longer than stock? or just beefier? I cut the dumbass stem off mine and welded on a standard shock mount. Been good so far.

 

All of the above, I built some custom ones last spring that are 6.5" off the axle, but they stick down further than these due to the design of the front back eye. These are 7" off the axle. I was also tearing up and popping tires from when the sidewall was folding over rocks and pinching on the square edges of the mount, so these should alleviate that.
