Colinb17's kinda sorta build thread - now with 4-link and long travel

I run 50 psi on all 4 of my tires. I've often debated running less in the rear but IIRC the manual says to run the stock tires all at the same psi.

 

Stock 265/70/16 are listed at 32 front, 28 rear IIRC. Should be listed in the driver side door jamb.

I used the stock rear supports. A little creative bending is all it takes...

 

I picked up some steel today for a very similar method. i threw those brackets away when i did the high clearance bumper.

 

The hammer was dropped last weekend

 

just saw your picture in live. looks good

i finished up my rear fenders today. gotta adjust the wrap arounds on my rear bumper now, but i'm liking the front to rear matched look. you putting the flares back on the front?

 

Thanks

Will be cutting a section out of the middle and plastic welding them back together so the bottom lip can be retained. Might start the measurements today.

How much did you take off the rear? I'm still undecided on 1.5" or 2".

 

i'll measure for you. i just took off from the front, the amount that made the flares line up with the bumper, then took the same off of the back. it was somewhere between 1.5 and 2

 

Right on, same ballpark

Don't worry about getting the numbers, I'll just roll with it.

 

You might have seen them before but defined engineering makes bedside supports for the oem bedsides that are high clearance. They look pretty burly and are only $50

 

my home mades are only costing me $10

 

i like those kinda mods ...but does it look ok??

 

won't be able to see it unless you stick your head inside the fenderwell

 

very nice.

 

Hmm... I may have to play with that some more but when I tried to do it I recall it not even being close to reaching... my bedsides flap a little in the wind on the freeway.

 

snap a pic for me and ill probably venture, im just waiting for the gf to buy my terragrappler 33s for her 4runner so i can get some 35s and of course shes slacking...

 

You make your girlfriend buy stuff from you such a boss

 

I have that exact same dent, right before you get to the bed lol. little bigger, but same type and position.

 

she wants icons on her 4runner and what she calls "big" tires and i want 35s so there must be compromise!

im getting her the totalchaos rear link set for christmas though...so yea

 

i'm sure it's like 4 times the cost, but icon makes rear links for the FJs, and i would assume for the 4runners as well. absolutely beautiful components. billit aluminum adjustable links with steel skids recessed into the underside so you don't chew up the aluminum.
