4Running Daily's Build Thread

Yeah the last time we went to sycamore our battery came loose. Thank god it didn't bounce around the bay and really damage something.
 
It is old and stuff breaks all the time haha.


I can do anything. I can rock crawl with FJ Cruisers that have $35k in modifications alone. I have full belly skids and a high clearance front bumper.
Yet I can also take it into a wash and hit whoops. Today I was keeping up with basically a Trophy Truck Tacoma. I was hitting shit hard and beating on the engine and it never even hit 200*.


:whistle:
 
Broker told me the same thing. Do the Taco fenders line up with the 4Runner hood? Post a pic if you have one.

Yea everything lined up well, even the indent line matched up on the door to the fender. The only difference is a Tacoms line curves down into the bumper versus the Runners goes to the top of the corner light, but unless you know what you're looking for it looks normal.

My drivers side didn't match up as well since the hood was partially crunched when I rolled but the passenger side was perfect.

With that said, I would still rather have the 4Runner fenders and correct lines that match stock but it fits good and looks awesome in my opinion.
 
Everyone seems to like the Hankook M/T. But the MTR Kevlar is only a few bucks more. My favorite tire is the Toyo M/T, but I'd have to re-gear immediately because of how heavy those things are.

If you're going 35s, you will probably get to re-gear regardless of the tire itself. Personally I'd go MTR kevlar or M/T. If I knew my IFS could take it, i'd go straight to IROK 36s.
 
Solid bump stop help tremdously. My tires would rub and beat up everything in my wheel well until I put my hydro bumpstops in. It is a good solid stoping point that you can test fit unlike any rubber stops. The only bad thing I found with rubber stops is that you truly can't fully cycle the suspension to make sure everything clears.

I would skip the fenders and buy the hydro bumpstop. The main thing the fenders do is give you coverage over the wheel. Where your fender bent is where I shattered my fiberglass fenders because I didn't have my bumpstops step up properly.

As soon as I saw the hole in my inner fender I thought of you. "This would make Jonathan proud" hahaha

I still need a welder for hydro bumps, and I don't have that resource yet.

There's plenty of people willing to help w welders. I have the templates you need too. A little modification and they should work w a factory arm. Polyperformace sells the 2.0 foxs with cans for like $300. Catch them on a sale day and get 15-20% off.

I've been talking to Dirt King Fab for a while about using my truck as a template to make a 2" LT kit for us 3rd gen 4Runners and 1st Gen tacos because no one makes them.

Connor you're only a quick 1.5 hour drive from a welder pretty much any weekend you need one. but I am sure that there are members in Phoenix that could help out as well though. The fenders look good! I have 35 kevlars and really like them they hook up great offroad at 9psi and once they get balanced they do really well on the road.

Now all I need is money.
 
You can always give plasma for $$$. It is always needed but there is a limit to the amount one can donate in a month.
