4Runsports Lift and Sound upgrades!!!

[4runsport]

Alright it took 3 and a half hours yesterday and 9 hours today but its finally done!!! Casualties include P/S sway bar link, two rear shocks that head to be crushed to be taken out, and a bunch of busted knuckles :biggrin2:
Audio upgrade is an Infiniti Basslink just for a little added kick as well as two new Polks in the front doors. What do you think? :artist:

Lift looks good! How do you like that basslink? I've been considering picking one up to add a little bass without sacrificing much cargo space and without being overbearing.

Thanks for all the compliments guys! I really like the way the truck turned out. Now I just have to work on why the steering wheel is not straight. Maybe also a steering stabilizer. The basslink definitely adds quite a kick to the sound without taking up much cargo space. Took me about an hour to wire and install. Really easy. I didn't want an excessive amount of bass but this really sounds nice.

I am in woodstock! Just finished it, looks great but the ride is a little different. not sure if it's the alignment or the fact I went for the medium front/rear. Things got a little shakey on the highway 60+. I'm going to re...re-check all the bolts to make sure there's nothing coming undone and then get an alignment tomorrow.

Please let me know what you did to sort out the vibration at 60+. I am about to order the OME kit for my 02 Sport Edition as well. Was the front diff drop easy to install? Can't seem to find any online instructions to see how it goes in.

That's because it really easy. Remove the 2 bolts, slip in the diff drop spacers, install 2 new longer bolts and tighten. I don't remember the torque rating but I just did mine the German way - Gudentight.

Front diff drop was simple. place a jack under the front diff. remove the two bolts holding it on. lower the diff(to fit my spacers in I actually had to pull the diff down to fit the spacers) the kit I bought from Toytec supplied new bolts and nuts. just make sure you reuse the washer that holds the support. then bolt everything back up. Simple

Are those 265/70 or 265/75?

How is the ride compared to stock?

265/70/r16. I live in the middle of town so as I was installing the lift I gained an audience who seemed to be interested in what I was doing. Some kid was impressed with the look and offered me FJ wheels for $100. His father sold his truck on him as punishment so he just has the wheels sitting around. Might grab them up!
Ride is definitely a noticeable change. A bit stiffer, but takes all the bumps in the road. Rides like a real truck now!

 

[djbrand1]

Figured it would be pretty simple. Did you sort out the high speed vibrations?

 

[4runsport]

Hopefully will sort it all out this week when the truck goes in for maint. Its time for the timing belt/water pump/ outter belts to be changed. I am going to get the truck aligned and the tires balanced.
