MrGrimm's very grimm build!

[06HAOLE]

"Why dont we just keep your truck and I keep the 4runner?"

I said, "Well, can I lift the 4Runner and put some wheels/tires and a pair of sliders on it?"

She said "Sure, but its my truck."

I really had nothing else to say

Dude dont mess that up. You cant ask for more than that. Two built Toyotas??:trophy:

check out his tacoma build thread, he needs no help.

06HAOLE, I knew I recognized you too. You gonna do anything with your 4runner? Maybe the krawltex treatment?

I wish I could give it the Krawltex treatment. My Tacoma takes all the mod $$$. Im installing a Currie 9" full-floater axle this week into it. Good bye Toyota 8" e-locker

Looking real sick Mr. Grimm! Good lookin 4runner.

Very nice dude. I can't imagine having that and the taco in my driveway. Would be tough to decide what I wanted to drive each day.

Well it's easy for me to decide because the 4Runner is the wife's truck.

Did you have to install spacers on the front sway bar ? reason for asking is I have a Kings Shock set up and the bracket for the remote reservior is installed using the sway bar location. with KDSS i am worried that this will create a problem

I did not install any spacers for the sway bar. I am calling Icon on monday to see what I have to do to mount the brackets for the remote reservoirs. They will not mount the same way I have them on my Tacoma. They cant mount where the sway bar is because it is too far away and when you start to flex it will tug on them. Once I find out a solution I will post it on here. For now, they are mounted to the frame using the hose clamps supplied with the coilovers.

Thanks , I ordered reservior brackets from Kings last week and received ones that mount to the sway bar location with longer bolts to mount the sway bar back in place. I am just worried that this will interfere with the KDSS working properly . And i do not want to relocate the washer fliud reservior either. which a feel the bracket will interfere with as well

whats the weird looking thing right underneath the driver side coil? Like an extension of the lower mount. Almost looks fake.

Wow! how do you get in that truck?!

very nice! Looks great!

Did you get the tires first then lift? How well did the 285/70/17 fit without the lift?
