Lifted w/ 33's

[Dirt4dinner]

I just got it back from the tire shop yesterday. I have a few photos posted on my gallery thread, but I think it's appropriate to get some love into the 3rd gen section.

In the last 2 months, I have build both the front and rear bumpers, swing out tire carrier, lifted the truck and upsized the tires. It's been a long couple months....and if I ever have to get under this 4Runner again it will be to soon!

Oh yeah...I have to add 1" wheel spacers this week, so I guess I will be wrenching a little then. I also have to repaint the rear bumper to a satin finish.

Here are some photos.

Two months ago....

Three weeks ago...

End of last week...

YESTERDAY!

Which lift did you go with and which tires are those?

It looks good.

looks nice, you didnt want a winch mount on the front bumper.

Looking good man!

I installed the Daystar spacer kit, the tires are the Cooper Clones from PepBoys, the Definetly Dakota M/Ts 285/75/16, and they do rub on upper a-arms in the front. Hopefully the WabFab 1.25" spacers will cure that.

I didn't do a winch plate for now, but there is room for one if I took the lights off, and put a plate there. Someday it might get one....I did take it into consideration when fabricating that front bumper.

That's a nice front bumper. Design it yourself?

 

[Dirt4dinner]

Yup, a buddy and I built the front and rear bumpers, rock sliders and tire carrier ouselves.

HELL NO! LOL.....it was a pain in the ass to do it in person, with the vehicle right there. I can't image trying to build one and then ship it.

Honestly, if you have access to a welder, plasma cutter and a saw you are set. Just buy a couple sticks of 2x2 square, a stick of 2" round, and a sheet of metal and start building! Oh yeah....buy about 1 dozen flap wheels for your angle grinder!
