*I* probably cannot, but there is plenty of room so I'm sure someone with more skills and money could. I think there are a few cummins swaps over on IFSJA.org. I'm sticking with the 360 for now though, hopefully a new intake and 4 barrel will add some pep.

I may have fibbed slightly about being done with the 4Runner, I decided to something... again...
Hopefully it'll be on tomorrow night & I'll post pics of it installed..
I got the special order 2.0 suspension from Overland Warehouse with the lighter 600 lb. coils and rear shocks, I'm gonna stick with my SAW 1.5" rear coils for now. I don't want to go any bigger and I'm actually going to lower the front a bit from where it sits now so there is a bit of rake.

Lol thanks Matt, I'll look into those pics.
Side note: I'm a huge Foo Fighters fan, not too disappointed about the whole Kurt Cobain deal.
Now get off here and throw those coil overs on!

Got the COs and rear shocks on, I also put the OME 10mm spacer on top of the driver's rear coil to correct the driver's side lean. There is still around 1/4" but I'm not gonna complain about that it's much better than 1". I haven't driven it yet so no comments on ride quality... yet.
The driver's side is sitting about 3/4-1" lower than the passenger in front right now, I want to lower the passenger a bit but got tired of fooling with it today. They're not as easy to adjust as I'd hoped. And I ran into a few small problems during the course of installation (in addition to finishing some siding work) so I'm beat for today.
You can see the passenger side is about level front to rear, I want the front to sit about 3/4-1" lower like the driver's side so maybe I'll adjust that in the morning. I'm gonna get some better shots tomorrow. I may take a couple of poser shots before I reinstall the front sway bar, I want to see how it drives (and flexes) without it for a little while.
edit- meant to say the COs weren't difficult to adjust because of their design or anything, due to the location of the UCAs (especially when the front end is in the air) it's hard to get the wrench in their and turn it far enough to get another grip without moving the wrench to the other side of the arm for that extra little bit of rotation.

As usual, looks great. Love the OW setup you've got now, it looks good! (I'm sure you already know that, hahah).
btw, great sunset in the background, today was a gorgeous day in NW Florida! Couldn't have asked for better weather.

Looks great Gaterose! I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little envious of those COs. I think it goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway...lets see some more pics .
Also, what are you F and R measurements?

I'll post some measurements later but I'm waiting on a good chance to get some pics. I hate taking driveway shots almost as much as I hate looking at them so I'll post some when I get a chance.
Meanwhile here's a shot I took last Sunday...
I'll try to get some measurements in a few. I love the way the OW stuff rides, it's incredible how much better it is on the highway and yet the dirt is really where it goes to work. Andries did a great job setting this up based on what I asked for. I'm gonna post a video of some "high speed" dirt driving later but unfortunately my suction cup mount broke and the video I got yesterday doesn't do the suspension justice.
Meanwhile.....
Also, I've been working on a new sub box for a while. It's going to be similar to a JL Stealthbox but with a 12W3. I want the cargo drawer to be a little more low profile and take it up the full cargo area, before I couldn't lower it due to the sub depth so this will help.
It still has to be sanded and fitted a little more then wrapped in fiberglass and painted to match the interior. I'm going to mount a pair of midland walkie talkies I got for christmas and my stream light ultra stinger to this box.
