a work in progress...

[cullowheebandit]

So I have to start with saying a big thank you to Millerad1651 and BFEATHER2008 for helping / showing me how to swap out my old shocks / springs. I went with some new rancho 9000's shocks that are adjustable (thanks palmettorunner) and some 99 springs (thanks Jrm). I have an '02 sport and I can't believe how much of a difference just going with the 99's made. It's my dd so I can't go crazy big but droppin' the running boards and adding the 99's, I'm a happy camper Tho with the tool box in the back (BigFishAllDay style) and the rack on the top I can see an ever so slight sag, so I think I am going to add some spacers and or some airbags till I can get some OME rear springs in there... I have the "moddin'bug" somethin' fierce but at the same time I have "the other half" (who doesn't share in "my sickness" as she calls it) constantly fussin' about things. :whipping2 So Bosco is a work in progress all be a slow one.... (boy is she going to crap when my shockworks bumper gets here... anyone got a spot on the couch for me once that shows up? hahaa)

If that's a work in progress, I can't wait to see the finish! Looks great and if you need a place to crash, you're welcome up here in the PNW.

I love black on black 4runners. Nice rig man! I saw it and i was like :jaw drop:

Glad to help. Let me know if you find other springs for the back and we'll throw them in. You should post a couple before pics...its pretty crazy the difference they made. I always knew the 01-02s were lower, but didn't realize how low until you see it in person.

Have you thought about hooking up the power "adjuster" for the shocks? Maybe if we adjusted the back ones you could level out some, or maybe even gain some rake.

And my wife calls it the "sickness" too. Although she knew what she was getting in to...my dad and I are the same way about this stuff.

Its definitely looking good so far.

Looks great, you're off to a very good start.

Get up, come on get down with the sickness
Open up your hate, and let it flow into me
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
You mother get up come on get down with the sickness
You f***** get up come on get down with the sickness
Madness is the gift, that has been given to me

...a little Disturbed got stuck in my head upon reading the first post and I felt like a had to share.

Another uniquely sexy 4runner, well done Bandit.
