    The thing is, he had issues with some aftermarket taillights before. Never listened to put the stock back. So, idk.

    Nate put the fiberglass bedsides on, put the front coil overs in, and wrapped it. interesting wrap. I like the hood, and the rest isn't terrible, but together, I don't think it looks good.

    It's certainly rushed. It's like an episode of Road Kill with a better starting vehicle.

    I kinda like the wrap but Want to see not video edited.
    I question his idea for making the Bilstiens work. I guess maybe as a temp setup but not to hammer on at KOH.

    Not only short links but on a terrible angle. The axle side mount should be above the centerline of the axle if the frame side is going to be so high

    I usually like nate's stuff, but if those links are shorter or similar length to stock 4runner links, then that would be a major L

    Link length definitely isn’t a one size fits all approach. Wheelbase and angle plays a big factor. If links get too long and start to get close (or beyond) the center of the truck some weird stuff starts to happen with chassis control. Plus they will bend and hang up easier. Longer links will help flatten the angle out though, which is a huge positive.. so it’s all a compromise at the end of the day. My front links ended up around 39” and they’ve been perfect for my application

    He isn’t cheap at all though and there’s guys with serious fitment issues with the kits too. I get what he’s doing but it’s a tough space to exist in on charging a serious premium to theoretically avoid the cutting and grinding required to make generic link brackets work. I think my Barnes kit was less than $600 with heims and brackets included. 4WU wants $1100 for just brackets and like $500 for shock towers :eek:
