The Official TW 4Runner owners thread

^^^Nice setup.

 

you just made my point. its was our members being jackasses on that site just to troll. /end

 

Hey dont drag me into this, I didnt post anything on that site during this whole thing.

Anywho, its over now, back to 4runners. Anyone doing any work on theirs today? I washed mine.. haha

 

Very nice setup! Must ride like a dream.

Those reservoirs worry me though, they seem a bit too exposed and prone to damage.

 

shit, i was suppoesd get the 4runners tires balanced today d'oh

 

Looks good. What do you have in the rear? What are your future plans for it?

...You still clearly did not/do not read.

Doing nothing to my Runner today. I need to order my new suspension set up but I'm just not sure what I wanna go with. Any suggestions?

 

i dont think thats a very good spot for the resi

 

The resi is more out of the way than it looks in the picture. The only thing it needs to be protected from now is my tires. I have wheel spacers on the way, so hopefully that will take care of that problem.

I don't have many options of mounting them. You may notice that they are much larger than the resi's you would get with an off the shelf OE replacement King for the 4runner. They also have top secret custom valving, 550lb springs, and some other internal work to get more shaft travel out of them.

 

The rear just has a spacer in it for now. I have big plans for it though.

Im currently trying to figure out what spring rate I need/will work best for me, then I will be going to coil spring specialties to have them make me a spring to my specs.

For shocks I have been at the drawing board a few times. I was going to try a cantilever with coilovers and 3-link but it would be too much work than I am wanting to do right now so Im going to make some taller shock towers that will allow me to to run an eye mount instead of a stupid stem and the shock will be a custom 12" travel 2.5 King RR with the compressed length of a 10".

I will be making my own links. Not sure if I will make stock length ones or a longer 3-link yet. In the end I expect at least a good 13" of wheel travel maybe up to 15" in the rear.

 

Yeah there aren't that many great mounting options especially with an aftermarket bumper.

Nice man sounds good. So from the sound of it cantilever with coilovers for the front and 3-link rear or the other way around? The plans sound good. When do you expect to have it done?

 

I may try a longer hose and a 90º fitting on the resi to angle it more to keep it out of the way of the tire but other than that I am fine with where it is. I hated having to cut up the fancy resi mounts that they came with but it had to be done.

No, my original idea for the rear was doing a cantilever with coilovers and 3-link but I don't want to get that far into it right now since its my daily driver and can't have too much down time. The front is essentially done, but will get some 2.0 air bumps in the stock location and I may make some nice lower control arms down the road.

 

That sounds like a good plan. What size tire do you plan running? Oh I completely misread that and that's why I asked again ha. Nice man sounds like some good plans you got.

 

I like the size I am running. It has 285/70/17 Terra Grapplers.

And I am hoping to have the rear done in the next month or two, just have to buy the shocks and they are expensive when you get them custom built and takes about a month to get them

 

That's cool. Yeah custom shocks get pricey.
