did you go with the medium or the heavy/constant load kit?

Good choice. Have you thought about doing the Zuk mod instead of adding a leaf if you need extra umph?
Can't wait to see the install.

ZUK mod looked good but I had my eyes on the ARB kit for a while, . Just got the tracking number, parts arrive on Friday :wings:
headed out to Hollister OHV park this weekend with some friends, luckily they are bringing their rigs, leaving mine at home

That OME stuff looks familiar! Those springs and shocks completely transformed the ride of my '85 for the better. It used to bounce off things but now it soaks them up!

Man, from Alaska to Argentina in a 22RE powered 4Runner, I commend your patience. I hate driving my '87 4Runner longer than 200 miles at a time.. It's so slooooooooooooooow.

Slow enough to take in the views & smell the roses...we love road trips in our '87 22re!

Still havent put the suspension bits on, but got the sleeping platform started.
Not much room for storage in the 4runner so to maximize space we have built a basic sleeping platform. This will also allow us to keep the bed fairly clear for quick camp setup.
Pretty simple, just 3 6'X2.5"x5.5" boards, a sheet of plywood, and a piano hinge. Learned a new fact, the 4runner bed is exactly 48" wide - the exact same width as a sheet of plywood. Accident? I think not. Those Japanese were some crafty dudes.
I put a hinge about 3/4 of the way up the platform to allow for easy access to the storage where the rear seats used to live.
Due to the shape of the back of the 4runner a little bit of cantilever</a> was necessary. Ahh ya, respect the construction worker terms!
Taking it into the audioshop tomorrow for them to wire up the secondary battery, hardwire the cooler, fans, interior lighting, and a fix up the stereo a bit.

FWIW, before all the woodworkers go out and buy a 1st gen 4runner, notice that this is after removing the rollbar! Pretty difficult cramming a full sheet of plywood in the back with the rollbar still in there
