Man I dig it! It may not be show-n-shine quality but I am a fan of function over form! Nice work John!

There are a few trucks in my area with decent seats if you cant find any. Im about 1.5hr south of you.

Forgive me if I missed it, but reading through your thread I wanted to know on the tranny tunnel when you raised your drivetrain did you do anything with the motor mounts? I know I should probably remove the stockers and fab up new ones in the adjusted loaction. I am already setup for a flat belly and just need to cut away

anyhow love the build, one of my favs for sure

I just loosened the engine mount bolts at the engine and the frame when I raised the tranny and than tightened them down afterwards. There is enough play in the mounts for the amount the drivetrain is rotated.

Update: I am driving the 4runner about 200 miles a week as my daily driver plus hitting some local trails. no issues so far except my alternator going out on me. I also added trailer wiring and it does a decent job of towing 3400 pounds, 1400 pound trailer/2000 pounds coal except up the big hills.

It has been a bit cold in the garage so I have only been doing required maintenance and fixes but have a pile of parts to add to the build when it gets a little warmer.

Awesome, I am cutting mine up then. Thanks for the response. I have been going back and fourth for the last year since I set up my FROR style crossmember and it would be so easy to slam that thing up a little bit more for the flat belly.

I wanted a way to securely mount my hi-lift jack on one of the down tubes of my cage. I have been looking for different ideas at work and came across these in a dirt track catalog

They are normally used to hold weight in a specific place on the cars but with a 1/2/13 hole I figured they would be perfect for attaching the hi-lift. Worked out great for now. The nice thing is, if I don't like where it is mounted, I can just unbolt it and move it.

I also finally got around to mounting a fire extinguisher behind the driver seat and also got a set of factory buckets installed. Since the 4Runner is my main/only mode of transportation the Corbeau's were not the best choice for seats comfort wise.

Thanks! I've been trying to figure out a way to securely mount my hi-lift on my FToy...and still have the option to move it around.

That is the same weekend as the TTORA ride at Gore....oh which one to go to?

94toytruck · 02-21-2012, 12:46 PM

First I've heard of a TTORA run at Gore. Considering I'm on PA-TTORA and MATC(what used to be Midatlantic TTORA) you would think people would know these things

Its not anywhere on either forum

matzell · 02-21-2012, 01:15 PM

I could have swore it was the same time, When I went to mark the RC one in my calander I already had the other one listed. I must have been on meds at the time and wrote the wrong location.

I just checked Big Dogs site and it is not there.

sorry for the hijack... continue on

toyjoeta · 03-20-2012, 07:02 AM

Kajo, do you have any shots of your upper link mount to motor mount clearance? How much shaft do you have showing on your air shocks? And yes I asked about your shaft
