TW's active 4runner builders BS thread

wank, i bounce off rocks too, never felt it.

 

again its not noticeable, but whatever you need to justify it

 

plenty of times.

you can put your e-dick back in your pants.

 

I think a lot of it has to do with the vehicle platform. 3rd gens are smaller compared to 4th and 5th gens and would show a greater effect on them. I run no sway bars and my car is super tippy, having that much weight up top scares me a little. I know a couple 3rd gen guys that do it and can tolerate it, then I know some that couldn’t handle it. I think I’d be one that couldn’t handle it, personal preference.
Ultimately think I may just keep the 3rd gen, build a trailer and put the tent on that. Keeps it light and keeps my ass happy in a roof top tent. Plus base camp

 

i went without it for a few years. Since its no longer daily duty i put it back on. Too much of a difference from the daily to that i didnt want to dick with it anymore.

 

Worth the wait?

 

MCM sent the misalignments I think haha. But ya they suck. I’m hoping they scale up soon. But I’m doubtful

 

Any experience or knowledge on their LT kit?

 

You never tried the koolaid. You know nothing

 

I like it! And I can get you one for a smoking deal. Little birdy told me prices are going up after December 31st


SRQ owner (matt) runs their kit

 

Koolaid

 

@LTDSC If you were to start over with a full-size to build into an LT beast, what would you start with? I was thinking newer Silverado 1500 with the 6.2L
https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/detail/757884456/overview/

 

My options would be a newer 6.2, even an 11-16 GMC.

I really like the new rams though the DK Ram is so sick

 

I don’t think I could buy a ram without buying a Powerwagon, and then throwing some go fast shocks on it and 37’s. 6.4L, front and rear lockers, and no leaf springs sounds like a dream. Which is great, but still not a whoop eater

 

the new GM 6.2 is definitely a nice motor and the one you linked would be great because its an LTZ. Although i'd be feeling bad about beating on a 40k truck.

 

Need to move before LT. Not worried about a little price jump. But why not run this on the race truck?

 

I want to buy a nice pickup that I can split daily driving duties with, and then once it’s paid off, cut the shit out of it. Luxury full size prerunner is a dream.

I’ve been talking to Matt about my kit for the better part of a year now, and he really wanted me to push my ideas into a a product. The only real upside is that the CV’s are the limiting factor. So if I paid a ton of money for RCV’s we could probably be around 18” of front travel. However, with just modified Tundras, I’m hoping for 15” bumped and strapped.

 

my buddies truck is the 2013 Silverado with 6.2 he gets it. Now with a BK kit he can keep up with me.



he just got kings so the front end will be a little taller. Also snagged some glass recently too.

 

Any quick recommendations on what to spray paint my front bumper with? The black paint has started rusting away so hoping to fix it before it gets any worse. I don't think it was powdercoated originally, just painted. Planning to give it a full sanding and such prior to painting it.

I want this to be relatively quick/easy (hence the spray paint) but don't want it to be awful. Thoughts on the above options?

Bumper, for reference:

 

Any normal spray paint like Rustoleum? Also no hose for a good while here...damn cold
