Abrosk927's '97 SR5 Build Thread

[abrosk927]

Hey guys! So this is the start of my build thread...With out pics for the time being. I need to wait for some nicer weather to take better pics. Anyway, my 4Runner was brand new back in 97 when my parents bought her, I was 4 at the time. It was the coolest truck I had ever seen back then. Fast forward 14 years and this beauty was given to me with 185,000 miles on her. Always garage kept and maintenance was done regularly. So 3 years later, i am now 21 with a job and want to lift the beast. I have just hit 220,000 miles and with a fresh inspection its time to get to work.

I am just starting with the lift it will be Eibach 3" lift coils and billies in the front and Lexus 7.5 wraps and LC shocks in the rear with a panhard drop bracket.

Will update when the parts come in and more pics of my runner!

Alright guy so ill admit it, I'm not too good at keeping this updated while working and being in school full time. I had a little rough patch and sold off my lift and was gonna sell the truck…but its a 4runner and i love her…she can literally do anything and they go anywhere…so why sell! I couldn't let her go! :banana:

So with the help and advice of Zak @zooperman (i think thats his username) I purchased a more quality lift focused more on ride and performance then looks.

Icon 2.5" Extended Travel Coilovers and Camburg Uniball UCA's all from toytec and a toytec diff drop cuz 3rd ten CV's don't seem to like lifts.

As for the new shoes I went with 285/75/16 Duratracs brand new that @zooperman also helped me find. He's a great dude and helped me realize 4runners are for life so hopefully ill get some pics of the parts up soon


STAY TUNED
