Marc P's 98 4Runner...it begins
After 9 year of building and wheeling my 95 4runner I decided I needed a change. Traded for a mildly built 98 4runner from AZ.
It already has e-locker/4.30 gear ratio, Sonoran Steel 1.2 lift with 5125 Bilstiens and all the other goodies the lift comes with, Budbuilt skid/belly pan, TJM front bumper, Smittybuilt winch, Hella Ralley lights, a drawer system in the back, 265/65/16 MTR's.
Today I installed a 4Crawler 1in body lift.
Future plans include bigger tires (ASAP) and a rear bumper with swingout, gas tank relocation, and Tundra brake upgrade.
I need to get it out on the trail still. After wheeling a solid axle rig the past 3 years I need some time behind the wheel to see what this rig can do.
Here are some pics.....
New and old together for the last time
After today..with body lift

Pretty cool that I feel like I did when I first started the mods on my 2nd gen...reading up on other peoples builds and researching what parts work best.

Looks good! Drill some new holes on the ARB mounts to match your bodylift maybe?

X2 on the old 2nd gen, BA! Looks like you already have a good foundation for the new toy. Those Kellys look real good on it too. Looking forward to seeing more.

Now I just need to install it....
