ma_mu_ Build Thread & Offroading Pics

[ma_mu_]

Very nice thread Ma_Mu. Your english is very clear.

This is an impressive truck. The CV angles look very good. This is a good case for a drop bracket lift, done to accommodate large tires.

I really like the cameras! and the rock lights are pretty cool.

Thank you for sharing

Yes. CV angle is good! ...So it is possible to further lift up.

I'm glad that you said so. Thanks!

[Mention=2029178]ma_mu[/Mention] you build has inspired me to try doing a drop bracket lift down the road. Maybe next year. I already have 3" lift and will be doing a 2" BL here pretty soon. Maybe down the road I'll look into adding this to my 4runner and rip out my kdss. Thank you so much for sharing your build thread with us.

I’m happy that I could help you. You'd measures of the roll if removing the KDSS. Your 4runner is very cool! I'm looking forward to the further evolution of your 4runner!

Sanage is the most famous and most popular off spot in Japan.

Cargo Box

We made a cargo box. Great box was completed. I was glad!
This box weighs about 44lb.

I was affected by it.

how are you going to connect the rear sway ???

I check mine; while contemplating ripping my kdss out. And there isnt a spot to mount the rear sway bar end link on my kdss equip 4runner.

Hi TheWraith, I'm sorry late reply.

I don't connect the rear swaybar. So frequently to roll. But I was accustomed to roll soon

Front: 5.5"drop bracket and 1"radflo coilover and 0.5"spacer. Probably, 7" up in total.

Rear: 3" spring and 2" spacer. I haven't use the procomp's rear spring.

7" wide navi

I have installed the KENWOOD's 7" wide navi. I scraped the panel, and was fixed with epoxy putty. This KENWOOD's navi move smoothly as smartphones.

Any side effects for having the kdss being disconnected since you lifted it, minus just the light? I'm thinking of "pulling" mine off when I go to stage 7 icon as I feel icon stage 7 could possibly limit with kdss..just my thought

Nice photos!

Oh this Prado!!

Needs a Total Choas LT kit!

Bad.

Sorry, I don't know the meaning of "Pulling mine off". What's that mean?
You're going to install the icon stage 7? It's very cool! I think no problem even if there is no KDSS up to 3" lift. But 3"more lift is better there was a swaybar, and hard flex is better in the city. Because it's difficult to drive.

It's a cool idea. I think so too!! But he's going to install the Fox 2.5. He seems not going to install the LT kit.

I remember reading that your kdss light is on all the time now because of your lift. My question was, have you noticed anything from having your kdss not installed/removed/connected?

I've looked into it and besides the light, I see nothing that directly affects the vehicle (minus what the kdss/sway does). Just was curious, I used to dive my 97 4runner with no sway for 40k miles or more. Just had to warn others before they drove it

Oh, I see. That's what it means.
Yes, minus just the right! But, there are caveats in 6" lift. It will be tilt considerably. Need to be careful in the camber and high-speed corner. And, as has been you are, there is a need to tell the passenger.
2" or 3" Lift is impossible if you don't remove KDSS? Mr. WarnerD9's seems front sway is not removed. He seems to have removed only rear for Metaltech LT Kit.
