Lots of work getting done on the 4runner, hoping to have it back on the road by the end of April. I decided to go a bit more extreme with the rebuild, which will allow me to spend less time under this thing.
- New (oem) LCA's are on with eimkeith skid and limit strap kit, also replaced all of the alignment cams. (mine weren't seized but replaced for peace of mind)
- Added some weld next to each alignment tab on the frame to increase the strength of the stock tabs.
- Total chaos spindle gussets are welded up and pressed with new Koyo wheel bearings
- eimkeith strut tower re-enforcements are welded on (photo only shows tacks)
- Trailgear creeper breather (used a Toyota union for the axle housing) and custom mount for the e-brake cable "holder"
What's left to install...
- Champion radiator
- SPC UCA's
- Bilstein 5100 ext rear shocks
- Toyota front axle seals
- F/R Differential and Transmission fluid change
- Replace all drain/fill plugs and gaskets
- TIRES! 255/85/16 Yokohama Geolandars
Pretty happy that my pile (mountain) of parts is finally shrinking.
Camper Build:
- Sketch with some design revisions
- Ordered a Tern Overland window (300x500) going in place of one of the rear windows (haven't decided driver or passenger side) . Both rear windows will be removed and paneled with sheet metal.
My plan is to start on the structural build of the camper this summer after I get some trips in on the rebuild.
