Toykidd's 02 build thread

I bet, what a great way to hone your skills. What is your ground to fender height with the 851s and 1" body lift? Any particular reason you went with the 851s over the 861s?


I want to say ground to fender is like 43" -43.5". I chose the 851's due to them being a bit taller and a higher spring rate. my rear bumper is pretty heavy and i carry a lot of tools and spare parts (~200#)

Cool deal, thanks dude. Keep the cool pictures coming.
 
started my cargo box build and thanks a ton glen for welding the aluminum for me! still got a way to go but its a great start. the design is basically a copy of glen and sn0wrunner's.
the drawers are 1/16th inch aluminum and the box is built with 3/4 inch plywood i used 1/8 strap steel to mount it in the cargo area. onto the pictures

in the first 2 pics its just laying there not screwed together and yes there is a piece that goes along the back.

Looks good. Not too much gap at all with the 1" body lift too.
 
sn0wrunner is right i did unfortunately sell this rig.. but just this past weekend i bought a fully restored 1985 1st gen 4runner on 37's with front and rear lockers dual cased with a 3.4 swap and a full cage... its my new baby and i guess i will keep posting in this thread, becuause it does have alot of 3rd gen parts in it. stay tuned for some pics and i will do a build continuation thread.
