TW's active 4runner builders BS thread

From what I've heard, they are a pain to adjust. Need that .75" of rake. I know @LTDSC loves that look.

 

Mine were a pain because I forgot to unhook my limit straps

 

Just make one of these! You'll be fine.

 

Yeah spring compressor is really nice to have. A few buddies and I chipped in for this thing. Makes swapping springs so easy. Those 700# springs are really unsafe with the small spring compressors you rent at the auto store.

 

how much did you and your buddies shell out for that?

 

Oy that heavy SOB. Bent the little tray loading into my truck haha. Was very tempted to just keep at my place haha.

 

im still debating between #650 and #700 springs. Im on #600 now and they cant hang with the weight of the V8

 

700 would probably be better for you. High speed stability in turns in particular. You don't do very much crawling

 

Just finished up painting my Runner with Midnight special monstaliner. I was able to get two full coats rolled on with one gallon. My clear coat was flacking off so I striped it down to factory primer, then sprayed a new coat of primer. Once that was done I rolled the Monstaliner on.

I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

 

that looks like 4th street ramp

 

Yes sir.

 

im just worried of dailying comfort. 700s be heavy duty af

 

I'm starting the search for stuff to do a motor swap on my Runner. If anyone know's of or has a wreaked Tacoma in central Florida with a 00-04 3RZ in it shoot me a PM please. Ideally I would like to buy a complete vehicle and swap over what I need.

My wife got me this new Branick compressor This past xmas. Pic is me helping out a fellow TW member assemble his new struts. And a pic of my runner.

 

I just sold this runner to a fellow TW member last week. This is the 2nd one I sold him. I buy & sell a lot of 4runners.

 

Hey hey, I know that guy! Is that Joe?

EDIT: Yep that's definitely Joe.

 

Yep, that's Joe. This is the 1st one i sold him last year.

 

who's ugly ass mug do I see back there? @Mobtown Offroad

 

Filled up with 91 this morning and now have the battery disco'd for the ECU reset.

 

I was told to join this thread lol. Here's my rig. Right now it's got a 4" bracket lift and 33's. It's in a shop getting a regear and rear lunchbox. I'd do the work myself but I managed to crack a rib (not from wrenching. I'm not that bad with tools). Once my rig and I are both fixed I'm planning to do a bunch of interior and and electrical mods.
