It's time to start planning for the 7th Annual Pismo Jamboree! We started planning already, now you guys need to start planning to show up! Where: Oceano Dunes SVRA, CA When: September 25-27, 2009 Who: You and your friends! We've got big plans for this year's event, starting off with a new...

retrofitting the elocker from the 09 can be done on an older 4th gen with minimal modifications. I haven't done this because I don't need one (already have arb locker) but I would check to make sure the bolt patterns are the same. Many 3rd gen 4runner owners installed elockers on non-elocker...

non-xreas lift installs are relatively easy to do. with the proper hand tools and a rental tool to remove the ball joint for your tie rod you can easily perform the spacer install in a matter of half of day. basic knowledge of using hand tools and the ability to follow directions (which is...

Are you saying that you broke both front axles from a simple lift? If you're just busting the cv boots then I would look into how much lift you have (could be too much for the cv angles to begin with). You can pick up a boot kit from your local dealer or you can visit Kartek and buy a...

The only body lift company I recommend is 4Crawler. The owner's name is Roger Brown and he'll make sure you get the right parts for your body lift if you need one. Good luck

I am currently running a custom beadlock setup from OMF performance. The wheels were originally a stock 2000+ Tundra (16x7 alum wheel) and was modified to 16x8.25ish after the beadlock was added. (I wanted to widen the wheel so it worked out perfectly). As you can see it's a very clean setup...

You'll need a combination of a suspension lift (3") and body lift (1.5"). Places that will need modifications: 1. body mount will need to be cut/trimmed. This is located below the firewall (between the engine and cabin). 2. front bumper will need to be modified. 3. rear bumper will need to be...

I hope your 96 is a 2wd truck because if it's 4wd it'll be too much for the front. The cv angles will be too severe. Will require a diff drop and then some. good luck

92 LC80 for 3k? not bad at all. If you plan to get an lc80 I would look for the 95-97 w/ factory lockers. btw if I had to build my 4th gen again, I would not do it. I would just get a lc80 and go crazy. that's how much I believe that it's that much better and cheaper! anyway good luck. Not...

It can be done but I would not advise of it. The 07 suspension will bolt on (pending using your 96 top plate for the front suspension). Though the 07 suspension will automatically give you an appox 2-3" lift due to the design of the lower shock. Look and compare for yourself to get a better...

No clue actually but if you go on ih8mud.com you'll find that there's a good selection of 80's w/ factory lockers for sale under 10k! I found one for 8k awhile back so the prices are dropping like crazy.

If you're looking to buy used of any truck I would recommend a Land Cruiser series as it'll be easier to build a capable rig over a 4runner. No offense to the 4runners but the Land Cruisers are well built with a nice flat belly (makes for easier build ups). 40/45/55/60/62/7x/80 all comes with...

Here are my options: Used 95-97 LC/LX (one w/ dual lockers) - I6 pig Used 98-99 LC/LX (one w/ rear locker) - v8 4spd auto tranny Used 03+ LC/LX (no lockers) - v8 5 spd tranny (same as 4th gen 4runner) Used 4th gen (last option) - v8 5 spd tranny Either the 80 or 100 series LC would be a good...

Since the OP called me out via PM: 1. glad you're having fun on the trails! :) kudos to ya. 2. Body roll happens period. It's very hard to distinguish the vehicle in front of you vs your vehicle as speed/terrain/approach of terrain can significantly very the condition/reaction of your vehicle...
