Coles 4runner (2nd Apr 08 at 5:02pm UTC)
I started a new rig a couple months ago. I beat the shit out of my blue '83 Yota, so I wanted to build my 4runner. Some of you might remember this runner as my daily driver about 3-4 years ago. Its been sitting in my moms pasture for the last 2 years. Im hoping to get it going by June. I have a shit load of build pictures, so I will just put the highlights up

I built some new axles for it. Yes they are Toyota. Im not cool enough for fullwidth. 5.29's, Lockrite, Auburn LS, highsteer, 35's(for now), keepin it real with the single case, bla, bla, bla, Toyota crap....oh yeah, I narrowed the whole front clip 5 inches I also shaved the firewall to fit 38" + tires later

The frame was bent pretty bad. I built the front end square to the rear end. I had to move the frame rails 3/4" over on the front spring hanger. I did away with the stock front X member and plated the front half of the frame with 1/4" plate

This is what it looks like right now. I need to do the rear. Its on stiff springs and blocks just to match the front. Im saving up to 4link it, but for now it will get different leaves

Oh, I think it will be ready. I could slam it together, but I want her to be pretty before I smash the shit out of it.

I want the front to settle at least 2". The rear still needs built with flater, longer springs. I clearanced the front so much to clear 37"-39" tires. Once I get my Longfields I will use these 35's for street tires. Im sure all my tube will add weight. The Half the engine is in too. That motor is my mock up motor. I hate shooting grinder sparks on my good motor. I'll come see it asap.

Re: Coles 4runner (3rd Apr 08 at 5:59am UTC)
Toyota rears up front. The only reason to run 44044's is if you have a Waggoneer. Too much spring rate for me....and I like the 2" gain is aproach angle. As soon as I drag the body off this one I will do a linked up buggy More like are you guys gonna be wheelin with me this year.j/k. I was out somewhere almost every weekend last summer. Thats the only reason I build these stupid things, to be out there having fun with you guys
