Nice ass

How’s the RTT on top now that you’ve had it on for some time? Running sway bars?

 

Storage is next on my list. Waiting to see how good of a deal I get on a rear bumper to see whether or not I order drawer slides

 

so far, i can barely tell its up there. No sway bars for me. I need to up the compression on the bypasses a touch to help with the weight load while dampening.

i carry around a toolbox that spans my cargo area with tools i use and always keep with me as well as my hardhard and vest for work and a tow strap and hitch receiver. So i think a drawer set up would be beneficial so i can still stack my totes on top, but the big ass box wont have to be in there too.

 

Fuckers. Bumper I want just got posted. $66 off...

 

I’m swapping to the southco lever latch. Mucho beef.

 

Which one are you going with?

 

4x. And just going to alter the tire carrier as needed. Maybe different latch, maybe angle the tire.
It’s just more aesthetically pleasing when compared to Savage and it matches my front.
And I’m hoping that I can get it before Thanksgiving so I can paint and install it over my break

 

Have you already ordered it? Thanksgiving is only 2 weeks away haha

 

Waiting on a paypal invoice right now. I'm hopeful haha, he told me 1-2 week lead time so we'll see

 

Ah shit...it’s money spending time again

 

Wow, that's quick. I'm sure you'll love it. Gonna change the rear springs to compensate for the additional weight?

 

I'm going to wait to see on how much sag I get. I plan on adding rear storage too so most likely going to go to 861s

 

What do you have now? I'm betting you'll want to switch. 861s have gotten pretty popular with the heavy rear ends on 3rd gens. They still flex well though, you saw that at Uhwarrie haha

Yeah I like my truck raked a good bit and with my old LC 7.5 wraps I was right at the point of not enough rake without the bumper. With the bumper I could tell I needed taller springs immediately.

 

Wondering what your guys thoughts are for a price on my 99. Looking to sell as I’ve driven it 10 times in the last year and don’t want to dump anymore money into it. Have a friend interested (not a close friend, so not getting a major discount) but don’t know what to ask. Was thinking $2800 as is (not fixing the high idle or hatch). https://sfbay.craigslist.org/scz/cto/d/wtb-wtt-fortoyota-4runner/6349310186.html

 

8 wraps. I like them a lot, just not sure how they'll do with the weight. I've had the rear loaded with alot of weight before and no real sagging so I'm going to see how it settles. Don't want a lot of height back there

 

@Unner

How many days did your bumper spend in the mail before delivery?

 

I think, even with a salvage title, $2800 is a pretty good deal. I'd ask $3k just because. I think you could sell it on craigslist for $3k pretty easily.

 

2-3 days probably. It didn't take any longer than a normal package. Mine came with FedEx, be sure to have someone around to help him get it out of the truck. It's heavy.

 

Yeah been looking and any non-salvage gets around 6k+ around here in similar shape/miles, but without the lift. Figure half is appropriate.

That's what I was thinking. Drove it to work today and drives good, just need the tires balanced and my temp gauge was bouncing all over the place. I think my RPM reading low and bouncing around is tied to the temp gauge, so should rule out a sensor of some sort and probably be wiring or the cluster going bad.

 

im officially looking into making rear drawers. Probably going to have to swap to the 3" MT springs after all this.
