[Lignum]

Wanna get rid of them? Id love to take them off ur hands to give them a try to see what they would look like on my 4runner... dont wanna paint mine then have to buy new ones if it looks bad or i get a ticket.

Sure, where do you live?

Thanks man!

I had the exact same question! I asked Darrick with Toytec if they recomment it and he said:

"No, not really, otherwise we would probably carry them.
We do sell a pan hard drop bracket for the bar, but no bar's themselves."


And after consulting with the forum everyone seems to think it is not really nessisary just a personal preference.

It's actually a little more then a preference. The rear axle will be slightly off now due the added height and shortned panhard bar. In essence pulling the axle to the right side. Example: http://www.sonoransteel.com/panhard.gif

Here is a good example and writeup from Sonoran. He used to make a bracket but now makes and adjustable panhard bar.

What is the advantage to having the axle precisly centered?

Clear blinkers and led tails, need some corners still. 4th gen exhuast tip, I get my 285/75R16 Duratracs tomarrow!!!

Looks good but it will look 100000000x better with the bigger tires!

I know they are going on tomarrow!!! I couldn't wait cuz I washed the runner.

That thing has come along very nicely! I can't get the 265s out of my head when I look at it, they look tiny! The 285s are gonna look soooooo much better.

Lookin' good! It will look even better with those Duratracs on there! Maybe it's just the angle of the pic, but those c.v. angles look pretty steep. Do you have the coil-overs set at more than 3" lift? It looks like the front is higher than the rear.

No they are set like they were from the factory, I wanted to get the 33s on to see how much wiggle room I have before lowering it, plus I'm not real sure how to do it.. The CV boot squeeks when you turn the tire when it is jacked up.

Thanks! Did you get those Duratracs on yet? I'd like to see some pics if possible.

Lignum you should post your rig here..I wanna get alot of Black runners on there. http://www.toyota-4runner.org/gallery/64869-post-up-you-black-4runners.html

 

[Lignum]

Wow, turned out nicer that I had hoped....:dancin: Rubs a little up front, on the bumper.

 

[Lignum]

The pictures really don't do these tires justice, they look much better in person!

Wow man, that looks awesome! Everything came together great. I agree, pics don't do those tires justice. That's exactly what I though today when I got home to my duratracs waiting for me! They look so mean. Can't wait to get my lift and tires installed on Saturday.

Again, looks great!

 

[kregg]

Lig - Those fronts are high buddy, you may wanna see about lowering them before you start grenading CV's... Looks good though, you'll love the DuraTrac's.

 

[xskydivingdudex]

wtf lignum, ur 4runner is new here and im already starting to hate it! lol ive been wanting a black 4runner with around that height lift and rims for a while. im so jealous!

 

[JohnsD90]

Looks Sweet.

 

[brian2sun]

Very nice! The tires made all the difference. You do look a little high for comfort in the front.
