97 4Runner Build - new project

[FurByCA]

I've had a few runners and was finally fortunate enough to find a 5 speed.

This will be updated regularly ... First thing I do is an oil change

what are the details?

Nice find and welcome to the 3rd gens!

what are the details?

191k miles, 5 speed, White on Beige interior - everything is solid from what I can tell

 

[FurByCA]

Nice find and welcome to the 3rd gens!

Thanks! This is my 3rd or 4th 3rd Gen but finally the one I want to invest $$ into. I've narrowed my lift down to a couple options.

Front Bilstein Height adjustable 5100 shocks
OME 891 Coils
Toytec BOSS Rear Shocks
Toytec/Eibach front coil lift springs 3" lift

- OR -

Rear OME 891 Coils
Front Bilstein Height adjustable 5100 shocks
Front Bilstein Height adjustable 5100 shocks
Toytec/Eibach front coil lift springs
Rear 3" Lift Bilstein Shocks

Basically the same setup with just matching vs non matching shocks for the rear. Can't find any info or reviews on the ToyTec Boss rear shocks...

Clear turns and decided to black out the center grill - satoshi grill coming soon but for now, this will work

 

[FurByCA]

Ordered this today! :flamethrwoer2:

** Just replace the OME890's with the fresh out of production Toltec rear coils (comparable to the 890's) **

 

[Climber]

Toytec rear coils that are out of production? Only third gen toytec rear coils i have heard of are the superflex, is that what you mean? Either way looks like a great start!

Not the super flex - those would have been too tall for me. Not out of production, more like they've finalized their R&D and have a couple sets of the Finished product until their order comes in. I guess I'll have one of the first sets of their new 3" rear coils - they told me they're comparable to the OME 890's

 

[FurByCA]

Haha, even the fedex guy says 'niiiiiiiice'

Got this in today

 

[FurByCA]

Forgot how much I liked these tires. Had these on my Tacoma

 

[FurByCA]

Quick mock up ... I'm going to like this already. SCS Stealth 6 wheels

 

[SoSoJeff]

looking good!

 

[FurByCA]

looking good!

Thanks! Gonna see what we can get done today

 

[FurByCA]

Well we at least put the rims on today. Decided against the lift until the front could come in from toytec, they're back ordered



Will have to wash her up and take some better pics before the lift and after

What size and make are those tires? Sorry if I missed it in the post somewhere.
Looking like a great start! :bravo:

Installed the cbi off-road ditch light brackets today����







Only bad thing is that we put the bracket under the hood mount ... Didn't read instructions so we will fix that later I guess

 

[FurByCA]

These came today! Installing this weekend

 

[FurByCA]

Having it all installed today ... As we speak more than likely.



Haven't had time so I dropped it off at a buddy's shop this morning before work.

Kinda bugs me that we didn't do it ourselves but it will save me tons of time and hassle anyway
