Hope you all like my 85. Hope to make some progress if a brown truck ever makes it here. As it stands all drivetrsain is stock at 165,000 and the only mods are 2'' shackles, rear bumper I welded up, a bikini top my mom made and some little 33's. Plans are for yj's up front, f150's in the rear and highsteer. Anyways a few pics to start

love to have a matching spare but shipping would hurt, bout the torque rod Im going high steer so that braket will be removed shortly. The brown truck will be here 2Day it's a shame I have to work all weekend

made a little progress today would have had front complete but I found a bad knuckle bearing when I was putting the arms on ohwell must wait for the brown truck again. Did get the steering box mounted and replumbed.

got the front together minus the shock mounts and shocks it seems to flex ok still stock in the rear

Looks good. Don't stop there...continue.

Got the shock mounts tacked up andd flexed for some shock measurements. Has a little vib going down the road is this due to no shocks beings it has this when I hit a bump? When I finish the front the back should go quick hopefully

Got some shocks on yesterday and took it down the road dives fairly decent but feels kida like it floats does this sound like the springs are a little to soft or the shackles maybe a little to long?

6.72:1 · « **Reply #10 on:** Jun 13, 2006, 07:34:01 PM »

Could be a combination of both....

85 4runr · « **Reply #11 on:** Jun 14, 2006, 05:47:49 PM »

think I got it kinda close figure the front may settle down a little

Gebus, this thing is SLOW! Hey, larger tires and some more offset in the wheels will net you a couple more inches of front articulation!

85 4runr · « **Reply #13 on:** Jun 15, 2006, 08:13:21 PM »

got it all back together and went for a drive today does real good no wobble but it seems to have some bump steer is this normal for high steer or do I have something set up wrong? Like I said drives straight no vibes just when I hit bumps in the road you can feel the wheel twitch.

almost forgot about the beach trip

looking good. If you want some more clearence to clear bigger tires just use some bigger shackles. This is looking really good and a clean looking rig.

Gittinit · « **Reply #24 on:** Nov 14, 2006, 01:36:18 PM »

The spray in liner looks good, is that a factory roof rack? I have never seen one of those racks before.

85 4runr · « **Reply #25 on:** Nov 14, 2006, 01:42:34 PM »

I'm not sure it was on it when I got it
