1994 4Runner project

Maybe its the shocks, or maybe its the bumper being gone... but it does APPEAR to be less of a squat than your previous pics. Did you happen to measure the distance between the axl and the stop bumpers before and after the spring swap?

I wish now that I had. I had heard such good things about the MOOG springs that I didn't think there was a need to measure. Junior mistake!

Re: Re: Re: Additional work

I heard that LC80 rear springs are natually taller and stronger. I don't know the details but heard people install them on 4Rs.

Might want to explore this idea.
I'm thinking of doing that myself along with cranking my torsion bars

AND, the rims do look nice!!

What are your plans for rockers and bumpers?

A roof rack is next. But I'm holding off for now. They are expensive...

I'm pretty possitive you can build your own rack and more. Of course it depends on if you have some experience working with metal.

I made this rack for my sedan with alluminum, for the most parts it's riveted, but most crucial parts I had a guy weld them, there are just a few of welds. Because the bars go front to rear, the rack doesn't make sound and seems to brake the vehicle a lot less than when the bars go side-to-side.

The whole deal was about 100 buck for me (which is a lot here).

Now I'm planning to build one for my 4R, probably using steel pipes, I have a little tube bender.
