welp i guess ill start a thread for my 4runner build.
now keep in mind this is seriously my first build of any car ever in MY LIFE
so heres a few pics to start it off.
going to be pulling my motor tranny and t cases tonight. :jerk you:
doner truck. so long
the new 4runner.
anyone ever seen suspension set up like this
Right own. Are you using the 4runner frame? Good luck. Hit me up if you need anything. I have had 4 first gen 4runners, so I know my way around one pretty well.
WTF!!! Please tell me you are going to get rid of that rear shackle hanger......
What do you mean that shit is cool! Well maybe 20 years ago!
well i figured id put it all together roughly and take her out to prarie city and see how she does. is that rear set up that bad?
Well, if this is a build up then tell us what you got. Stock steering? Gears? Dual cases? I see you took your truck apart to bring this thing back to life. Is this going to be a daily driver? And yes, that rear setup is garbage.
wel i got just about everything pulled from the truck.
i just realized too that my suspension set up is for full width.
but what im going to be doing in the build is throwing my 22r motor, w56 tranny and dual t-cases in the runner. then im thinking of getting dana 44's front/rear out of a wagoneer or 60's out of a 1/2 ton chevy, gearing them up and keeping front/rear open until i can afford lockers. bilsteins all around.
i also cut my whole front clip off the truck to put it on the runner.
i cant really think of anything else right now. ill post more up when i get further along with this build.
this is my daily driver so im trying to get this crap done as quick as possible. :jerk you:
You would be better off with the toyota axles. Half ton is crap. Toyota axles are stronger. Im sure everyone is going to say fullwidth, but you dont need it. I wouldnt wast my time unless its a D60. Do you have gears in the axles you have? You need to change that shit on the back anyway. Just set it up toyota. But you do what you want, Thats just my thoughts
full width is much wider and stable
on a trail rig
yeeeaaahhh im gonna do a dana 44 up front and a dana 60 14 bolt rear =D
one of my UPS drivers got both of those out of running trucks. just gotta buy gearing for them.
:thumbsup:
Hopefully I'll be able to give my opinion on fullwidths on a DD soon.

Ya let me know how that goes. Full width on DD. I thought about doing it too, but most of it up here won't w/out a tight sqweez on the trees.

thought about doing just the rear or maybe both.
Hey im not hating. Ive been in yoour shoes before. You said yourself you have never built anything before. Sell your built toyota axles to build fullwidth. I hope you do it and make a bad ass rig. I hope you get it done before the end of this season. Good luck
