DOWNPOUR11's Build Thread

[downpour11]

UPDATE 9/8/13

SAS Completed. That part of the build starts at post #349

So finally I put the suspension on yesterday 10/23/10...

Consists of OME 882's + 5mm trim packer w/ OME 90004 struts
7.5 wrap LC's and OEM LC shocks

The front measures 37.5" from the ground....Yeah I didn't measure from the center of the wheel lol...
The rear measures 39.5" from the ground.
The tires are 225/75/15 hahaha FOR NOW!

This took my friend and I three hours total to do this. We took off the OEM front coil/strut assembly and I took it to a shop and had them assemble the original top hats with the new coils and struts on a wall compressor. $45 bucks well spent. Saved us a lot of time. Bolted up the new OME's and threw the tires back on. Front is done.
Took us about an hour to do the rear. EASY.
Should have my new wheels and 35's on in a couple weeks!!
One step at a time right?

Here are the pics!

Thanks man, I'll take pic's of the engine tomorrow, its way clean. Regular oil changes and the big dealer service every 30k.... A month or 2 ago I had to replace the ignition lock cylinder and then I ran some cooling hoses and had the a/c serviced lol thats about it man. Runs like a dream. I cant wait to hit 500k!! lol I could seriously get my own 4runner commercial! I saw a toyota commercial about a month ago and it showed this guy with his 4runner talking about "yeah i have 180k on this blah blah blah" I dont know how he got in a toyota commercial. Must have pulled some sexual favors or something.

You should stop by the local Dominos or Pizza Hut and ask if you can make a little extra cash cutting pizza with those tires! Lift looks good dude, can't wait to see it with the 35s!

 

[downpour11]

whatever dude they are WILD country's with blown radials on every tire!! they are all bubbled and dented up lol. But yes, I could definately take my tires to a knife fight and still cut some pizza teenage mutant ninja turtles style while I'm there.
