Hi guys, longtime lurker, just officially joined the site tonight.
Anyways, heres my 89 4runner, built more as a "go fast" truck than a crawler, but most importantly, it was built with adventures in mind.
Specs are: 3.4 swapped in (thanks to a really good friend that had more motivation than I did). When we originally built it we put a used total chaos genI caddy kit up front with torsion bars, but I recently upgraded to their genII kit with boxed lower arms. Out back it has deaver 62" springs with a cantilever kit to keep the rear shocks out of the back/cargo area. It also has an elocker rear end out of a 3rd (?) gen tacoma. I kept the stock wheels since theyre strong, cheap and plentiful, and am running 33 x 12.50 general grabber at2's. Still on the "to do" list is a roll cage, roof rack, simple rear bumper, and a rear seat delete panel *HINT HINT* Ive only taken it out on a few trips, but so far its doing better than I expected. Theres TONS of details that Im missing, but you guys get the idea.
Hopefully I was able to attach a picture lol
