Post Pics of your Desert Dune T4R's

[poleclimber63]

Thanks. Yes it was me that did the rear disc conversion. I ended up converting to fror’s Full float conversion but still haven’t got the ebrake hooked up but soon hopefully. This rig is going to be my wife’s off road crawler. I began to do the suspension tonight. Billies with tundra coils up front and 8 wraps in the rear. I will post pics when done

Sorry for the late reply I've been doing renos and spent a month in Vietnam....
Your Wife's off road crawler!!!! Awesome!! You did a taller lift than mine---when I did my suspension, I used OME springs and Rancho shocks---- in hindsight, I should have used Billies, as I found little difference in the adjustment range AND the billies were a tad cheaper.
I loved your conversion thread... if I remember right, later, you had a rear dif tube bend---- that must have been one hell of a strike! When you get the e-brake figured out, I'd be interested to see how you did this --- avoiding cables getting hooked and with a minimum of cabling...

The only other rear disc upgrade I've heard of, is a member in the UK swapped out a rear dif from a Lexus and went with a custom drive shaft.

I got my rig back today. 3" Toytech with a 1" spacer in the rear. It will settle a bit. Getting ready to order 17x9 4.29 bs -12mm Method Racing Standards with Duratracs 285/70/17.

I have, bran new sitting in my garage 15x10s that should have fit as per door tag. But I messed up. So now I have them and 33x12.50 Duratracs for sale. I will be getting my new rim & tire set up this week. But AAAAAAAANYway. here is some pics. I am still waiting for the Toytech Upr rear CA's to come in from back order.

The door tag on all 3rd gens says 15" wheels and 225/75-15 tires, whether or not the truck has the larger brakes/wheels/tires from the factory. Just one of those quirks (probably some import restriction or something).

I gotta ask... what is a "Desert Dune" 4Runner?

Because you literally had me at Desert Dune...

Color. You know, metallic beige. Not a trim or option or anything.

How did you go about painting your front bumper? It looks good!!

Just a light sanding and then sprayed with bed liner .

Well, in that case.... I really apologize to any 3rd gen owners because you got a 4th Gen owner that wants to play now too... like I said, you had me at Desert Dune.

Its gold, but in it's natural habitat, its about as close as any 4th Gen owners is going to get to Desert Dune.

Sorry for crashing the party.

got a chance to get out to Frank Reigns last weekend with my little dude for his first wheeling trip. He had a blast, got totally tuckered out, and will definitely get out again soon.

These were taken by a few different people so they might be formatted a little different

Got her back from the Dealer. 3" front 4" rear. Spacer will settle to about 3/4". I got a set of Method Standard, polished coming. Duratrac 285/70/17 too. Should be on by Tuesday.

It looks good, that's called Eldorado Gold, 01-02 3rd gens came in that color too.

I love this thread. I'll post!

My old 96...I miss it so much....:crybaby::cry2:

Anyone selling a 96-00 Desert Dune limited, or know of any? $5500 is my budget. Anywhere in the US...

There's one in the classifieds right now from Cali.!

Only in its natural habitat. Working on my “Desert Rat” decals...

Hey Jason B, where did you get that cool lower front valance? Is that a burtman industries product?
