99yota4's Build Thread

[99yota4]

I plan to use this thread as a documentation to what I do to my runner. I will need to get some pictures and stuff up of what I've already done but here's what's coming up!!

-Full tint job at Highline Customs in Beaverton, OR. (DONE)
-Lift in a few weeks

I just hit the "Submit Order" button for the last pieces for my lift! I will be using TRD Tundra 4x4 coils (y/y y/b) with stock Bilstein (yellow w/blue dust shield) with a toytec top-out spacer to lift the front. Also a Toytec diffdrop to help with the Cv's. For the rear I will be using one of a few FJ80 LC coils I have with Monroe Gas-Magnum shocks (34788) for the rear of a stock LC. The shocks are 14.375" compressed and 23.25" extended. No Panhard bar adjustments for now.

To top it off, I found a good set of used BF Goodrich KM2's in 285/70/17 for a good deal to go with my gunmetal Tundra/sequoia split 5 spoke rims!! supah excited!

[Patsawasy]

let me know when your ready to do that lift....

likewise. I'm in your neighborhood every weekend. Plus I need to check out Elton's rig in person.

Then we need to take it out on the trail.:banana:

 

[Elton H]

ya if we get 2 or 3 people doing that lift prob have it done in 2hr's

 

[99yota4]

I'll let you guys know when I get my stuff in the mail. I'm picking up my 285s in a few hours! They should look sweet with the tundra rims and this lift

 

[99yota4]

Here they are, waiting for the rest of the lift parts to get here so I can put it all together!

 

[Elton H]

o wow those look huge ! hope they will fit might need some wheel spacers

 

[99yota4]

got some sitting in the garage just in case!

 

[blcktpgsr]

come on post some pics already with the lift, Sequoia wheels and KM2's...can't wait!

 

[99yota4]

I'm waiting on the top-out spacers and diff drop form toytec as well as some monroe shocks for the rears to come in sometime next week. It'll go on that weekend!!

 

[Elton H]

my 01-02 tails would look great with that color

... I have with Monroe Gas-Magnum shocks (34788) for the rear of a stock LC...

will those work? I thought it was front springs and front shocks from a LC?

 

[99yota4]

Elton, they sure would. Hook it up bro!

PB: I'm almost certain that this will work. Same mouting (eye to stud) and the dimensions are a little longer than the Bilsteins at toytec for the rears which is perfect for 9 wrap coils. I don't know how you would use front shocks on the rear...I read something saying about using front shocks but I also read that stock rear LC shocks work so we'll see when it gets here. I referred to Appntr's build thread found here -->http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/24858-my-3rd-gen-trd-lc-lift.html

Not to rain on your parade, but yours are Hyper Silver, not gunmetal.

[99yota4]

haha no worries COB, I don't really care what they are anymore, they look effing good! they'll look even better after i'm done with the lift and have them on the runner.

Or mine! I need a set. C'mon!

But seriously, when you give them to yota99, I will take his passenger tail because mine is cracked.

 

[Elton H]

[Patsawasy]

You just collecting tail lights eh? When you come up, I will take it off your hands

 

[99yota4]

Here are some pictures from the day I got her. These pictures were taken by the dealer I bought it from

 

[99yota4]

Took the flares off and gave her a good wash. Painted the flares and put them back on.
