TW's active 4runner builders BS thread

If you weld the spacer to the stock mount and the new mount that will make it a double shear. It'll be wide double shear but it will be double sheer none the less.

 

Got mine welded up last friday. Helps a ton

 

Let’s get er done. I’ve got a decent set up now. Is it as easy as it looks?

 

What about rear recovery points and the floppy rear bumper situation?

 

Should have my junk all done this weekend, any time after that let’s get your stuff done. If I remember correctly the rear bumper will be an easy fix

 

Lesson of the Day is don’t romp on stock Birfields.

 

Just means time to upgrade. Should anyway since it’ll be on 37s soon.

Just

 

Thuren Fab has a similar kit for the newer Ram 2500s. Trackbar is like 6” longer and the axle mount is several inches higher. Made a significant difference in feel and stability on my Power Wagon.

 

Ya David Farmer was the first to show me like 2 years ago. It felt badass.

 

My shit wags and rolls but I also just have a longer bar instead of the weld on mount

 

Yeah I get that. I’ve had my adjustable bar for years and the mount wasn’t really out when I did mine. Maybe one day I’ll switch it up

 

Like tomorrow? Get a hold of eimkeith and order one. It's the best 80 bucks I ever spent on my rig. Yeah,. It makes that much of a difference

 

I made my first one out of 1/8” using a $100 flux core welder from Harbor Freight. Lasted a year and a half and then broke. Made anothe out of 3/16 with my new welder and it is doing much better.

 

Which one of you guys is flying to the east coast to weld it on for me?

 

Eh, it can wait for now. I’ll probably buy a welder once I’m out of school. And the 4Runner gets driven once a week now that I’m back in school

 

Either this may or next

 

Yeah. Definitely cuts the body roll. And with the lt front and crappy icon/metaltech rear it was all over the road before this was done

 

It’s the shocks. And also the fact that I drive it like it’s a sports car on the road.

 

No steel bumpers ever

 

Def the shocks, getting rid of icons made a world of difference.

For straps, yes, Karteks and a double shear on the lower has solved all my issues. Adjustable clevis on the frame.
