TW's active 4runner builders BS thread

howd you crack a rib?

 

I was riding a bike. It decided to stop. I didn't. Next thing I know my rib is making out with my handlebars.

 

OUCH

 

Damn!

 

Anybody know where the airbag sensors are in the front on 3rd gen 4runners? (2000 specifically).

A while ago I installed a trailgear front bumper made for a Tacoma and had to cut the end caps off my frame. Not sure if I've essentially lost airbag functionality or if it's more momentum based.

Here's my POS for reference:

 

A friend told me about this FZJ80 that's for sale so i drove over & checked it out. My 2 80's are locked but this one isn't but if the price is right i'll jump on it. My # was passed to the owner, I'm waiting for him to contact me.

 

I also had to cut the endcaps off my frame to mount my Savage 4runner bumper. No wiring or sensors were damaged when i had to alter my frame.

 

I cut the end caps off mine also.

No sensors or wiring was damaged.

Nice POS you got there.

 

Balancing beads for tires. Anyone have experience with them? My LC wheels don't like to balance with weights on the wheel. Thinking beads may be my best bet

 

Beads suck. Running LC wheels with Dynabeads and regular weights it isn't bad, but they are MTR's

 

We all pitched in for that thing so long ago I don't remember who went in, just MJ since it's at his house haha. Forgot you helped pick it up and went in too

Ramon I think it was some killer price, I forgot the total. Maybe @SCRunner12 remembers.

I'd go 650 first, 700lbs is too much even for me. I can't even go full compression on mine when I articulate and I'm on the lowest setting on my Kings with just barely enough to prevent the CV fins from touching. I have 650# sitting in the garage, only reason I haven't swapped is because I'm not running sways.

Since you have LT, I think the S/R are a little different but I still think 700# might be a tad oversprung.

 

I'm only mid travel up front. Still stock length. But I still think I'm going to go with #650s. I too am not running sways front and rear.

 

You wouldn't run full Dynabeads on an All-Terrain?

 

I wouldn't run dynabeads on anything ever

 

I saw way to much cool stuff on other rigs at the Joshua Tree run. After all the dusty trails I thought this was one of the best ideas. I kinda did my own thing with it.

 

Going bronze

 

Got time off. Lots of things happening this week before Anza

 

Damn those look good!
