magikbeans babyless suv build thread

bought her in december of 2008. 79k miles, 2wd with traction control, thundercloud metallic with oak interior.

dicked aorund and got some centerlines and bfg a/t's 31x10.5x15. way wide for stock height and it rubbed the frame like a mofo on sharp turns

took those off, painted the stockers black and put on some 31" a/t's.

went on a trip to laughlin and passed by a creepy dead town by barstow, ca.

sometime in march bought a thule roof rack and pedobear sticker and currently looking for a fairing and a cargo basket

7/11/10 slapped some billy 5100's up front set at the mid setting for now (probably going to upgrade to OME or eibach 2" springs) and slapped some 806 2" lifting springs from OME and a set of procomp es9000's in the rear. loving the setup. day a night kind of thing.

Nice build thread so far....great mods how u like the total chaos control arm and dr 2.5 coilovers?? How well does that flex? MORE PICS!!! Welcome to T4R.org!

thanks man. the dr's were on the truck for about 3 months before they started leaking and i replaced them with 2.5 kings. the dr's were great. they were softer than the 5100s i replaced, but definitely soaked up bumps a lot better. the kings feel more like the 5100s in the stiffness. this is actually my chicks daily. i was gonna chop it up, but she stopped me at mid travel lol. flex is decent, this thing is more mall crawler than anything. i actually picked up another 4runner for myself that i plan on actually modding. stay tuned for the build thread on that one

why did you do this? is the bedliner spray better? how did the plastidip hold up?

plastidip help up fine for a few years. just it was peeling off and i had 3 cans of bed liner lying around. not sure on longevity of bed liner on chrome, we'll be finding out i guess lol.
