Took some really clean shots with my sister’s DSLR and MAN I can’t wait for a bigger lift and 35s. Speaking of more lift... Dobinsons springs came in today, taco tabs come in Thursday!

I would also do the All Pro cam tab gussets while you're in there. They go hand in hand and the fitment is great. Easy install also.

Shots are clean! Nice job.

I think I’m going to do the marlin crawler gussets down the line, they are super beefy. I just can’t weld in the garage where I live right now so I need to wait to do them

Went to uwharrie this weekend and had a blast. My buddies in the RAV4, Outback and Forester always turn heads on the trail. The locker has a surprisingly steep learning curve with how much agility you lose when you turn it on!

I added taco tabs, deleted my swaybar and added C59-354 Dobinson’s springs this week. I’m very happy I did this mod! Here are the results:

Went from ~3 inches of front rake to ~1 inch, making it look much more level and very capable of handling the big boi weight that lies ahead

Deleting the swaybar and replacing it with 730lb/in springs feels really good. It took away some undesirable handling characteristics (like the steering wheel “sticking” in parking lots at full lock) and no noticeable downsides. I feel confident driving it around and I couldn’t ever say that before on the 885’s with no sway bar.

Cranked my caster from 3 degrees to about 5 and made the front end a lot stronger with the taco tabs

These springs are stiff but not “bad” stiff. The ride is comparable to the 885’s plus swaybar.

Some pics:

Made some AdventureIndex drawers and got to test them out this last weekend! I made them out of MDF, the total cost came to around $350. My dad and I took two weeks and made them after work. I need to make a latching system so that it stays closed, but I’m happy with where they are and will be keeping them in the runner “full time”. Even with a 12 inch sub, there are no rattles and only make noise when they open a little on harder acceleration.





Here are some progress pictures:




A LOT of money on slides:



Carcass mostly complete:



Interior drawer complete:




Mating the two together:



Utensils drawer and front complete:



Carpeting done, decided to make a second one after I liked the first so much:



Storage view:

Those look really good! I like the carpeting vs some others I've seen as bare wood or just paint. How did you attach the carpeting? I see some staples on top of the face, but did you need and contact cement or maybe some special carpet adhesive to make it stick well on the large areas?

Also really random, but I see you have a picture of a RD688 Mack (maybe 690?), which I like. I drove one off highway for a summer job and I just really like that body style.

Thanks man! I’m a complete beginner to this, so I just used adhesive for the large faces and staples the hell out of the corners so they wont come up. They don’t look the prettiest but it should last long!

And yes, it’s an RD I’m not sure the model. My dad has worked as an engineer for Mack trucks for a LONG time and graduated from Penn state, so that picture was perfect to hang up. I was gonna work as an engineer at Mack too until covid happened, but I just accepted a job with the department of defense to help design naval warplanes and I couldn’t be more excited TheRustyRunner Build Thread

Cool, I really like how yours turned out, the carpeting looks good.

Bummer that COVID screwed up your plans, but seems you found another great opportunity! That sounds like more 4runner budget to me lol
