It's all good info that your giving me kid v, but as I said, we don't have anyone doin these kits in aus, so all the info I have is from US forums and manufacturers websites.. All these do say that they provide a better alternative to live axel, I'm not looking for a road car comfort upgrade, if...

I do know what long travel ifs is. I have been looking into my options for a while now.. But on other forums i have read that they ride better on road in comparison to sfa hence why I asked about that. Obviously with an unlimited budget u can achieve anything, but I'm basically talking entry...

Oh cool.. Well say a budget around 2k.. Would this even put me close to being able to do a long travel setup? It's my daily, but I also head out bush when I can and am always keen to hit the real rough tracks.. I've heard the long travel is far superior for on road over solid axel.. With my...

Hey guys, So I'm an Aussie and no one here offers a long travel kit for the 4runner.. I'm real keen on the idea over the sas for my 87 model.. Can u guys give me some pros and cons on both please? As no one in aus has done it, I can't get a good answer on our forums.. Also who would be the best...

Lol a knew id get that answer! Well im gonna get a custom flat tonneu when i have some spare change.. But i have put a decent stereo in her, so still want some solid security most the time with the option of roof off for the day here and there..

Has anyone made a quick release canopy setup for making it easier to put on/off the factory hard top on a 1st gen? Or does everyone just bolt on bolt off? Ben

Cheers guys, im in aus, but ill just keep an eye out for similar getting wrecked here.

Cheers guys.. Oh well that makes sense why my post didnt get much attention.. Well i can tell you that the a tank of diesel lasts a while, but so does a "short" drive haha..

Hey guys, so i just got my first 4runner finally on the road after putting the new engine in. I was wondering acceloration wise what should i expect? At the moment its kinda scary pulling out of my driveway and headin up the hill unless theres no cars in sight! I understand its an old N/A...

Does anyone have or know where to get an overhead console for my cb? Can be second hand new, purpose built or universal! Its for my 1986 4runner. Im in melbourne, Australia Cheers in advance, Ben

So turns out its rebuild time, was thinking i might try get a good second hand 2L-t or buy a rebuilt one to go in my 1st gen.. Anyone have one laying around or know anywhere in Melbourne that would have them for a reasonable price? Ben
