Tonight is the last night before the 4runner is loaded up and headed out to California to get wrapped, fiberglass installed and buttoning up a few loose ends.
Here is what we have finished.
First, the front suspension, steering, front diff, and everything that goes along with that.
The arms are from Total Chaos, it is their +3.5 kit. We ended up having to run the 8" Coilover again as we couldn't really get the 10" to work without need a coil compressor to install and uninstall and we did not want to deal with that on the lake bed if we had to pull it out for some reason. The 8" will still work amazing but hope to get the 10" to work with maybe a shorter shaft down the road.
We made our double sheer steering and hiem setup, this was hard as the misalignments we got were not right and we had to get creative to get our travel back without binding the hiem. This isn't ideal yet and definitely stole some down travel from us. Still way stronger and will work. Also, drilling out spindles suuuuuuucks. We upsized to a 3/4" bolt which was awful. We may end up sleeving this and running a smaller bolt to get more misalignment in the future.
The front diff, steering rack and oil pan are all really tightly packed now. It's extremely tight with the 200 series rack in there but it works.
We also swapped the studs on the front to match the rear axle.
Here it all is together.
Its wide...
But, all the wiring is finished, diffs are in, the rear axle is done, custom brake lines are all done (that was a big project), new window nets, new limit straps front and rear, intake is in, new radiator and hoses, fluids changed and a good bit more of random things.
We have a decent list of things to knock out tonight then it's off to Beyond Wraps for some tasty vinyl goodness.
