TW's active 4runner builders BS thread

nice! Id love to get my fender flares repainted.

 

I'll paint them for those caliraised pods...

 

Meh, Kings are in pretty rough condition

 

Didn't you only pay like $200?

 

$220 shipped. Only ones in bad condition. Ones already rebuilt with new coils. The other one needs a new body, top hat, and body. Not the worst thing in the world. Essentially a new CO at that point. Should still make out pretty good

 

Welcome, nice truck! Are yo on T4R or the 4th gen FB group? Truck looks familiar

 

Somethin’s Fucky

 

What’s up you scoundrels. Looking at buying up my in laws SR5 2015 4R. This will be my Wifes rig unfortunately. I did get the go on some mods though.. But I’m super curious if any of you changed out the traction bars for the rear end at any point during upgrading shocks and leafs... anyone anyone?

 

leafs? You mean coils? Traction bars you mean Lower Control arms?

 

I just paid $1k even shipped for brand new Kings

 

Rear is on coils? I have no idea what’s going on I was pretty sure the 3rd gens were on leaf springs in the back (figured nothing changed). I can see his traction Bars that are linked to the rear axel just looking at his truck from the side at a glance

Never mind at the leafs just googled 5th gens are on coils in the rear. What about traction bars anyone upgrade?

 

3rd gens are coils too

 

I guess I’m just going to go through toytec and put some kit together.

 

Unless you are beating on it, no real need to upgrade the links on a newer truck while the bushings are likely still good. If you are beating on it, the stockers do tend to bend.

 

Thanks! I am on T4R, but have not been very active over there in a few years now.

 

Haven’t had leafs since the 80’s. Luckily with coils we have a lot of height options and simple fixes if you want more/less, also cheaper than leafs. Metal tech I believe sells 5th gen springs.

No traction bars unless you mean rear control arms. There are replacements but not necessary if you’re doing a basic lift. Just new shocks and coils. Not sure if 5th gen need panhard bar adjustments @SixthSnail?

 

I should still get rebuilt kings, new 650# coils, original set of 650# coils to sell, and one new shock body for sub $600 shipped. And I’m selling my Icons for more than that so I’ll call it a win.

Kings for F150? Just 2.5 OEM replacement?

 

fuck CBI, but eventually ill grab a Relentless rack.

 

i like the Relentless rack now that i've seen one in person. No bolts everywhere and clean lines. but thats IMO.

Prinsu does look good though.
