I don't think firewall modification is needed. Front suspension uptravel is restricted with a large spacer on the stock bumpstop. There's also a large body lift. Wheels are 15" dia. with an extreme amount of negative offset so they sit outside the brake calipers. Shocks are Konis, looks to be 60mm like the Bilstein 6112.



Rear has good articulation with a custom 4-link setup. The track bar bracket (note the A-T logo) looks to be bolt-on and is a lot flimsier than the stock 4Runner's.

 

Ganaraska is just barely powdered.

 

Got my Lock n Lube fitting yesterday. Going to use it tonight at the shop, get that PITA front zerk on the drive shaft.

 

hmm. May have to look into this. the front driveshaft at the t-case is pretty painful for me. However, its pretty tight to do my lower ball joints with my current nozzle.

Also, @Norilsk https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/the-excuse-a-4400-mile-12-state-adventure.575134/

may be good for your trip.

 

Yeah, it's on my list to do when I will be there

 

may as well go kings lol

 

how do you already need new spark plugs...

 

sorry to say but they suck lol.

I bought one thinking for the same zerk on the front shaft and doesn't fit.
The lock n lube end is pretty big. and it doesn't even work that great. It comes off easy yes but its pretty finicky to get it to sit properly to actually pump grease in and not just make a mess

 

Strange cuz I bought it after another member posted saying it worked perfect for this application.

I will find out tonight!

 

maybe the shorter one is different mine is the slightly longer one and it doesn't work on the front driveshaft, cant fit between the U joint.
And useless on my UCA. I spend more time fucking with it to stay straight so the grease goes in and cleaning up the mess it makes

 

Yea I got the short one so I could do my UCA as well.

I will let you know how it goes...

 

Got this on just now.



Anybody have a use for these?
Otherwise I'm tossing them out.

 

That looks sweet all painted black.

I almost did that to mine, lol with how yours looks I may still do it, only reason I didn't was I figured I'd be all OCD and touching up chips and scratches all the time.

 

Keep them, if you don't want them I can grab, always good to have for "warranty" work lol
ROUND TWO, anyone knows aluminum welder in the area?

 

We'll see how well it holds up, but it's barely visible especially with how low my truck is.

 

Again?? Lol
Notice the corner you cut out on the one I bought off you?

 

And I can weld aluminum. Have access to aluminum mig at work.

 

Yeah, lol, but this time it's getting reinforcement in the areas we spoke, plus some other little upgrades.
I get it with a discount with my dealer, and it looks cool

I see you shaved all that area!

 

Any time to do it this week/Monday? I am leaving on tuesday for overlanding, maybe it's a good idea to reinforce it before I put this truck to the extremes again.
