I spent the last month making a new tank to mount behind the axle. I was getting terrible gas tank rub, and it seemed like it would take an equal amount of effort to eliminate the rub. At that point id also still have the stock tank handing below the frame. Here's what i came up with. I'm going...

Made a run up redcone. Had a great time and ran into some super friendly people on the trail. Trail would be pretty difficult without a locker. Learned that I rub on the rear bumper when the driver side is tucked. I need to trim roughly a 1/4" off. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

I've always worked on my own cars, so I don't run into mechanics very often. We recently installed a toytec boss lift on my dad's 4runner. It needed an alignment afterwards, so he took it to Big-O. Big-O said the jam nuts were frozen, and that he needed new outer tie rods. No heat, no...

I tried the punch and screwdriver...but the single point at 90 degrees was just mangling the hole. I don't think these would ever vibrate loose. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

I thought about that but I'd also thought they'd prob want to sell me a set. I prob see at least 2 lifted 4runners every dayin the Bowles kipling wadsworth area..thought it's worth a shot. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

I'm installing a set of preowned boss coilovers on my dad's 4runner...and they didn't come with the spanner wrench. My 4runner has the ultimate so my spanner doesn't work. The previous owner has them cranked pretty good and were looking to get it lower. Does anyone have a spanner I could borrow...

Finally got an opportunity to get some paint on it. The bumper came out pretty stout. I'm probably going to end up with some d ring mounts on the front, but I'm going to have to get creative with the mount location/design so that it will support pulling forces. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

that sounds awesome....gonna have to talk to the wife!

I think I finally found the extra that completes the look of the bumper. I angled the outside of the bumper with some 1/8 plate. It seems to give it a more complete look. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Tried to add some dimension to the bumper. Maybe some old school pencil beam KCs down lower. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

thanks guys. It looks like you guys are local. Are there any better forums for local meetups? We've been heading up to red cone area lately, but i'd like to meet up with some local guys. I'm in littleton near 470 and bowles.

Finally starter on the front bumper. Its bolted to the winch support with 3/4 bolts. Still needs some finishing touches and additional support for the hoop. im debating on tying the wings into the body mount bracket. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

I took these off my 4runner and replaced with the 861s. I put them on new and drove 20-25k miles. Nothing wrong with the springs....were great for normal driving, but couldn't handle family, dogs, gear, swing out when we went camping. will ship at buyers expense.

After I ended up wallowing out the hole, I stuck a shortened flanged bolt and welded around the head to the plug. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

I recently got a new daily driver. It's an 03 FX45, and it sounds incredible. This has given me time to finally work on the 4runner, and complete some projects. I finally got around to swapping in the 4.30 elocker axles and 4.30 front differential. I used 12voltguy harness, which worked...
