Sr5SuShi's Build Thread

[Sr5SuShi]

I dont wanna sound stupid but im tryin to learn, I know LC Coils are from the front of the Land Cruiser but are the shocks too or are they from rear of a LC

Hey no biggie! were all learning here. your correct on the Coils, but the shocks from a land cruiser go front and rear, they stay the same on a 4runner.

Exactly! That rack looks perfect. I'd pay you to build me one just like it....lol.


BTW, the rig looks amazing the way you have it setup.

Thanks man! we'll talk let me know if there is something you want, i might be setting up a thread for roof rack building. I know a couple members on here are doing that.

Exhaust Mod. I like it its much cleaner under the bumper!

How are exhaust fumes with his setup?
:fishing:

 

[Sr5SuShi]

There is really no noticeable difference, that i can tell. I enjoy the clean look and i crushed it on a rock when it came out from under my bumper....

 

[Sr5SuShi]

I just had to do it....

It surprisingly came together very well!

The finished product

This was coming down from the back side of the blue ride pwk. it was a switch back access road. supper steep and sketchy! but so much fun.

^ Thanks man! alot has gone into her. The fortunate thing is a lot more to come! one more shot from today...

That thing is a beast! The wheels/tires/roof rack/lift make it look like a silver version of MillerPKA's old truck. I think I saw earlier in your thread where you mentioned that his 'Runner had inspired some of your mods.

Anyway, I dig it. That picture you got with all the gnarled tree branches is eye catching, and the truck is so big it makes you guys look like midgets in the shot where you guys are standing at the back.

I notice you are using a wind deflector under your roof rack. Any problems with flutter with the rack at highway speeds. And this is one classy rig.

Thanks man! I have no problem with flutter, only from going really slow...the chatter of my tires makes it vibrate a little, but i mean very little. ill take some close up pictures of the assembly!

i did, out of tinted lexan. I cut it to the size i wanted and fabbed brackets to the rack i built! love how it turned out.

 

[xskydivingdudex]

ok thnx for the reply... i couldnt decide on wat material to build one out of and i have some frosted lexan laying around so i may just paint it black one i make one. Any suggestions on wat u did or would have done better to attach it to the roof rack itself?

 

[Sr5SuShi]

old pic...ill get some new ones up here in a day or two.
