42s 2000 Sport build

42s 2000 Sport on 35's build

I'm gathering parts to do most of it at once.
This will be the build thread for my 2000 Sport 5 speed.

So far I've got:

Front Coilovers (thanks cchark)
Rear 891's (Thanks Jon)
1" Diff Drop
Ext Brake Lines F&R
Bilstein Shocks
Tundra Brake Upgrade
Ramsey 8000K winch
New Steering Rack Bushings
New Sway Bar Bushings
1st Gen 4runner Roll Bar

Camberg UCA's ordered last week.

Plus I've been talking to Outdoor Logic abut a set of bumpers, they are currently working on something for me on their rear bumper.

So the idea is to run 33's at first then move to 35's.

Currently working on getting 4:88's, ARB's F&R and dual cases with 4:7's in the front case.

If there's anything that you see or any of my ideas you see that suck....Let me know. This will be my first 3rd gen.

Here's a couple of my old rigs...

 

[GSPRunner]

Looking at your old rigs, I'm expecting big things for this one. Love the K5.

 

[murdarunna19]

Excited for this one as well although at first i thought it was gonna be on 42's hah

 

[42s on u]

Well it was almost on 40's :doh: In the first week I had it I worked a deal for a 44 and a 60 with 5:89's and ARB's, I have a 23 spline dual case set up with 4:7's. I was on my way to link it front and rear and stopped. I really just need something I can DD.
The silver extra cab is alrady a trailer queen on 42's and the K5 is on 38's, 1 ton's with ARB's and a 502 BBC...So I scaled it backhwell:

Nice! Your truck is gonna be awesome! I'm sure I'll be meeting you soon enough if you're ever gonna be hitting trails with Jon. I'm gonna need to pick your brain on some SAS stuff as well lol

 

[42s on u]

I'm sure we will. Jon seemed to be a real cool guy, we BS'd for almost an hour when I picked up the springs.

Sure ask anytime

So I looked around on this site for a good place to get a 96-98 grille, and came up with partsgeek. Price was awesome, so I ordered one. It showed up today, and I was a little shocked. The packing was a little :der:.

 

[42s on u]

So I took it in side, but I had a hunch something wasn't right. I think the sound of plastic on plastic was a dead give away as to what was to come.

Yep....it was broken....:wow2: With that packaging and it shipping from N.C. to C.A. I never would have thought.

Me too! No boobs and no 42" tires - I'm very disappointed. Fail. jk

 

[Hepar]

I too am looking forward to the pics! And might get flames, but I dig your old dropped Blazer.

 

[JWaldz]

Looking forward to seeing the transformation as well. Especially looking forward to the dual cases. Good luck with your build. Why no plans to sas it?

There's 42's...just not on my runner...


Ok, yea...false advertizing. I'll make it up to everyone.

Thanks, I loved that thing...

I had big plans to SAS on 40's...:frog: But I bought it to DD and for my wife to get to work when it snows. I'm not all that comfortable sending her out on her 110 mile commute in a rig on 40's. Plus I have my extra cab on 42's to go play hard with, or even the K5. So wanted to keep it mellow but capable.

 

[42s on u]

So I started playing with the grille today, it's coming along. I got the grille cut, the mesh cut. Now for the body work on the grille shell, and mounting tab fab.

 

[blcktpgsr]

[42s on u]

54.28 total, shipped.

 

[blcktpgsr]

Cool thanks again...
