i know there was some talk about these a while back but does anyone recomend these? for the bed sides?

 

Link to the Off Road Magazine feature on our truck in case anyone is interested:

Totally photo shopped!!!

 

I thought so too but it turns out that FJ really WAS at SEMA!

 

They don't look like they will seat in the fiberglass..

So the bolt will be rubbing and cracking the bedsides with no protection.

 

"The engine has crower cams, ported and polished heads and bigger injectors motor only has 200 miles sinces built. Front end is uniball boxed lower a arms are all chromo, all off truck was built by JORMAN race works he built brandon walshs 7s truck." This is what he said over text. Also, the links don't have a swaybar setup either. The 3.0 is notorious for head gasket right?

 

Wheres the link to ad and photos? and with a 3.4 swap that would still be alot cheaper than most builds

My bedsides are lower mounted with these

the ones you posted can work but like mentioned on flat surface or with a rubber washer under it to help with non flat surfaces. its all in your creativity

 

3.0 is a turd no matter how much shiney new shit you throw at them. Even with cams and injectors that thing is still only worth tying some chain to it and throwing it overboard on your next fishing expedition.

 

Run!!!!!!!

 

What you saying...

 

Lol yup

 

hahaha okay thanks guys!

 

in all fairness, looking the truck over in person, cycling suspension, and taking her for a good old fashioned test drive will tell you a lot about the truck. regardless of the builder. if you're worried about hidden issues, take someone with that knows what to look for. lots of great guys on here willing to lend an eye and an opinion.

 

These would be for the mounting to the bed top.

 

For those looking for 16" bypasses, there are a few on ig @offroad_swapmeet FYI

 

yea the 3.0 is a dog of a motor.

you could swap in your 3.4L though easy.

 

3.blow or 3.slow

 

Back before I could drive myself, my friend would always borrow his brothers 4runner with a 3.0 and we would 4x the shit out of it. I guess we just got lucky or ignorance really was bliss because we always drove home fine

EDIT: Now I'd never buy one, ever. My gf wanted a 4runner but I couldn't justify getting a 3.0 for her and leave her stranded
