Ajohnson85's '87 build

Pretty common to have more leafs for a more progressive spring rate. It's only 6 main leafs, the top and bottom control axle wrap. These are All Pro springs I have on my Tacoma

My 6" skyjacker soft rides only have a 5 pack. But they are not made for non panhard set ups

Waiting on a replacement rear brake line, so I wired a 12v outlet for my fridge, it also has a USB port, and finally got a tote so I can organize my recovery gear.

Still need to mount the slide, I'm gonna bolt some plates to the floor with nuts welded on so I can easily remove/install it.

Glad I checked out your thread. I have the back of my 94 torn apart and was looking for a dual power option like you mounted. Just found a similar outlet on ebay.
Can run a future fridge and run my rear facing camera off the USB.:hatsoff:

Edit- what brand of kinetic rope did you get and have you used it?
I have a ton of recovery gear but haven't pulled the trigger on a kinetic rope yet.

My springs are similar, many thin leafs = decent flex

These will get cleaned up and recycled from my Trekker to my 94

I got the rope from Southeast Overland, haven't used it yet, I just got it a few weeks ago. Steve Springs is the owner, he is awesome to deal with. I get most of my gear from him now.
 
I have had this 1st gen pickup grill since December and finally started the retrofit today.

The stock 4Runner headlight bezels can be used, but need to be cut where they join the grill

Cut out for the winch solenoid, test fit and the bezels are attached with some brackets I had laying around.

I fiberglassed the backside of the headlight bezels to the grill, the brackets will come off when the resin cures and the screw holes will be filled before paint
 
Thanks guys. I didn't spend time making it perfect, I don't care to win any awards with it. It should look pretty cool when done though.
 
I used a different silver around the headlights and it's darker than everything else. I think I'll redo it when I get home, and paint the mesh sections silver too and mount the badge.
