Your unique mod on the 1st Gens

No the membrane will change the resistive force if it gets wet.
So I made a “blanket” out of pvc shower liner that keeps water off of the membranes.

 

I rolled my 3rd Gen 4Runner and no air bags deployed. Assuming it's just the front/side impact thing

 

Same in my 95, rolled at 35MPH or so with the front divers fender and bumper area making first contact. Made it all the way over back onto wheels and nothing set off :/

 

Pretty much what I did. I was going 45 though. Went up an embankment and rolled completely over on the way down. Stupid black ice

 

Would you be able to elaborate on how you did the FJ80 grille? It looks amazing!

 

You've created a fucking monster, I like it..

 

I have a question. How did you mount that rack up. I have one laying around and id lik to clean it up and install it on my doublecab. Thanks!

My unique mod, I’m not sure if anyone else has done it. 2008 stock FJ coil springs in my first gen.

 

How much lift do those provide up front? I know those are sought after by the 4runner folks for the 03-09 models to level them out

 

I got about 1.5” out of the coils. I also did the bilstein 5100s on the middle setting a few weeks later for the bigger tires. In the picture I’m sitting at about 2 3/4” lift in the front. The FJ coils have a heavier spring weight like the ome 883s, they just don’t provide a full 2.5” of lift by themselves.

 

A lot of talk about the steering wheel swaps. So I'm going to start a thread and post what I have found so far. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...ion-with-radio-controls.531152/#post-17009052

 

What center console is that?

 

ruined a perfectly good free way cruiser but the bitch goes anywhere.

 

Nice, love outside the box thinking, I swapped out my stock progressives for some 2nd gen coils off a 2015 sport 4x to gain an inch leveling me out which it did & the valving on the 5100's seem to be enough to damper the slightly heavier coil, ride is good & aligns within specs, best part of all is $0.00
out of pocket, they were free..

Your MOD is def. more unique...

 

My dad had them laying in his shop, he put the toytec coils on his FJ to level him out so mine were free too!

 

Pretty sure this is a one off. My custom front bumper.

 

Now you're good to go chasing dinosaurs like Jurrassic Park.

 

I put together a front diff drop today. Cut the Spacers out of a 1” chunk of aluminum and picked up the hardware from fastenal. $11, 1 hour, and a few beers later.

 

Hats off to you, this is incredibly clean.

 

There are only a few of these available for sale at any given time. I looked forever before I got my taco. But I quite enjoyed the backstory to the steering wheel.
