ATIPPS's 99 Limited Build-AKA "the weed wagon"

[atipps]

Finally getting around to making one of these things..

It started of with me driving around my dads 2500 cummins so i could get my self to work. I worked my ass to buy my very first car witch happen to be a 2002 runner sr5 4x4 with 151000 on the clock
Picture of the cummins-

This is the 2002 in stock form right after i bought it-

It needed some suspension badly so i through in a old man emu suspension lift. 881s in the front and 890s out back. The tires 265/75/16 geolanders were in good shape till the first off road trip.

Took it on some trips to Sycamore creek with some buddies to camp and such..

Then sold the 4runner for this...

back into the 4runner game!!

Decided im not really a car person.. So i picked up a 1999 limited 4wd with a 1st gen trd super charger, 137,000 on the clock! Don't have any pics of it stock but it had those hideous gold badges AKA the "pimp package".. Those were the first to go along with the running boards.

So as most 4runner's with high mileage it needed some work. suspension was first. I also put in all new cv's.

Bilstein 5100s up front paired with eibach coils and Bilstein 5125s with toytec superflex for the rear. I feel this setup is way better than the old setup i had on my last runner. The old man emu setup was way to harsh and didnt match evenly front to rear.

Suspension and lift install-

All lifted up

Tires and wheels

The tires that came with it were completely shot so i saved up for 285/75/16 duratracs mounted to some gloss black scs f-5s.:guitar3:
I was suprised with the amount of trimming that had to be done.. the only thing i had to trim was the front bumper a tiny bit. 4.5'' bs is the sweet spot

Got bored at work so decided to test the flex, still could of gone a decent amount higher

Me and my homies truck in the school parking lot. His would be pretty cool if it weren't 2wd....

Do you have any fender to ground measurements? I'm thinking of putting some superflex coil's on my 00' but i'm afraid there might be too much rake(i'm okay with a little bit but right now its sagging in the back.
