Clownmeat's build thread

So I bought my wife a 1997 4Runner to haul the kids around and found myself in love with the thing. Two months later I sold my Tundra and picked up a 1998 4Runner off craigslist for myself.

First pic I have of it.







Called Toytec and ordered OME 891's, 883's, struts, 2" body lift, diff drop, and 1.5" hubcentric wheel spacers. Then I removed the hitch and spare tire and put the tire up top for now and put onboard air where the spare was and also removed both swaybars. Was just waiting on tires for a couple weeks.







Finally got tires, 285/75/16 Yokohama MT+

You sir, know how it works! 2 posts on the forum, just purchased your 4Runner....and it's awesome and well done. Nice choice on everything. Those tires look mean....I don't see them on many 4Runners, but they must work pretty good because glenyoshida runs them, and he wheels the heck out of his rig.

Thanks! Love the Yokos.. It's my daily driver so I was hesitant to put MT's on it instead of AT's but glad I did.

Where in AZ are you? My brother lives in north Phoenix, and drives my old rig. I keep telling him he needs to get it out on some trails, but I don't think he's found anyone to wheel with yet.

Significant amount more body roll but a significant amount more articulation.

Lifting a tire with swaybars



And without the swaybars

Off to a great start! Notice I said start because it's never going to stop. Especially with sites like this around.
