Andy Mod 2.0
Highly suggested mod for all the 01-02's. I pretty much have it turned off all the time.

Someday I'll make a fancy on/trac/off sticker for the button... or if someone makes a cool switch maybe I'll swap it in there.

Broken rear shock and severed ABS cable.

Dash is blowing up!

Broken shock bounced around and snipped the ABS sensor cable. I soldered it and cover in heat shrink.


Ready for solder... and then didn't take any more photos.

This was a really fun project. Had Toytec assemble the front coils for me and then drove down and picked everything up.

TTHA-9602 - ToyTec/Eibach 3" lift kit - 96-02 4Runner

November 15, 2016

Difference in stock rear spring and new toytec rear 3" lift spring


Shock on the right is the one that broke and was flopping around. The one on the left i bent back and forth until the top bolt snapped. Took all of about 10 seconds






Rear end done. Cleaned out those horrible top mounts and they were in great shape. If you have issues getting the spring in you can jack up one side of the axle to make it easier... No extended brake line at this time but it is on the list for future when I do a full brake system flush.

Toytec install - continued

November 16, 2016

Upper control arm removed....a little paracord came in handy


Front assembly removed


Toytec in place!


SPC UCA in!
by

Upper ball joint, without boot


Free tool rentals from O'Reilly's - Ball joint kit and 4Wheel drive kit... makes this job pretty easy.


Ready to pop that ball joint out. No need to spend time cutting it if you set it up like this.


First you may think this is not going to clear the fender.....


But it does, just enough to get the socket on!


to be continued........

Costco car mats.... I just can't bring myself to spend $100 on a set and these give pretty good coverage and hold a decent amount of water and dirt.





Made a center hump cover....

The weather has been amazing so let's get that bumper mounted!


Those mounting brackets need to be cut off... but don't cut off the end of the frame or you will loose strength...


I cut around so the end of the frame was still capped to retain maximum strength. Grind it just enough for the cross member bar to fit.


Crossmember


Pulled off the rest of the grill and what not.... been secretly working on a Satoshi to add in when this all goes back together...




Getting there!


RCI


Complete!
