4 LINK
« on: Apr 28, 2004, 11:57:31 AM »
I would like to put a 4 LINK type suspension under my 4 Runner and would like any ideas, pics and suggestions on how to  concur the fuel tank problem. I really don't want to put it in the back of my runner, that is used for camping gear, SO any help would be appriciated  :thumbs:

I've been Toying  :laugh: with cutting out the Extra Cab flooring to make room to hang a custom tank. Basically squaring off behind the seats so the shelf or bench would be the top of the tank. Its a big job though :-\

I've solved the  :beer: problem I have a vat hung from above and behind and my air conditioneer blows into a chamber surrounding the vat before blowing into the cab. I have a mouth piece with a rubber hose in it running up to the vat (Which also protects my teeth from the landings after getting Sick Air off a rock face)

 :beerchug: The fuel tank is definitely a quandry, especially if n ye wanna keep er as a DD ta boot. One of our members built is own where the spare tire used to hang. He built it as a wide low profile tank with its bottom traveling downwards in a V to the pump held in a gallon sizefuel trap. I think it holds 65 litres.

Shaffers kit does not require you to move your gas tank

84runner next time your on pirates do a search for the specs on tinbenders blue truck.  His smurffy blue truck has the first coil kit they produced.  I remember their were some good up close pics of the rear suspension.
