46&2's 85 4Runner Build-Up

[yota_krawler]

Yup, running the mismatched 35x12.50s, Goodyear MTRs in the front Cooper Discoverers in the rear. After I get a DD I am getting some 36 or 37 Iroks

go 40s!

[thegoofster21]

go 40s!

i have some 4 sale 

[46&2]

go 40s!

Nah, as tempting as it is I'd have to tweak my suspension and probably cut my fenders some more and I think 36 or  37s will be more than enough. One day my runner will ride on 4Ds but not for a while.

i have some 4 sale 

Haha don't tempt me!!

[yota_krawler]

Since you seem to be moving at a slightly faster pace than I am lets see if I can't get new tires by the time your rig is full width on 42s   

[THK Matt]

lets see if I can even get a rig

Here are some shots of the chopped fenders. I wanted to run 37s for my next set of tires, so we chopped em accordingly. I am going to put bedliner on the front fenders too just havnt gotten around to it.

AFTER:





Also here is a picture of how I trimmed my center console for the duals. If anyone needs an idea for their 4runner this is a good way to do it. Thanks to Shoyrtt for the idea! 



I was getting really pissed off yesterday wheeling open diffs. I need a locker. BAD. 

just curious where did you get that shift boot for your rear case?

Thats a good question, my friend had it sitting on one of his shelves and he gave it to me. Next time I talk to him I will ask what its from.

[Brownbag40]

I must have missed it but how much did you move the front hanger on the chevy's? 

[THK Matt]

8.5in I believe.

[4runner17]

i just went to the junk yard and got one from a nissan car. its even grey to match my interior

[Brownbag40]

8.5in I believe.

Eye to eye? I thought he said something like 11 but I couldn't remember what page it was on.

If you are replacing 48" long stock rear toyota springs, Mount them 11" forward of the stock spring hanger center hole to center hole. This positions the axle in stock location.

and if your going from coils to leafs.... CENTER of the body mount on the front.

Ok thanks will be doing this this weekend.

Hell yeah, you won't be disappointed 

[yota_krawler]

nick, how long is the yota shackle? I have the chevy and 2 different yota shackle to play with. One set it stock. One is I think 2inches or so over stock. I need to put mine on soon.

[THK Matt]

6in


he is going to a 8in to try and level it out.

[46&2]

6in

What he said. As for leveling the rear out to make up for the drop box in the front, we will see. I have a few tricks up my sleeve and I am not sure what route I will take at this point in time.... 4runner is on hiatus for now... getting a DD and some new guns before I do anything else with the rig

Idk what your tricks are, but I needed 1.5" more in the rear of my runner. I thought what about a longer shackle. Then I thought doing that would decrease my departure angle a little bit. So I thought of lift blocks. Using them would actually increase my leaf spring and shackle clearance from the ground by 1.5". I was way leery of running them but I said what the hell they're only $30 at 4wheelparts. So I ended up putting them on and I haven't had any problems with them yet. I didn't even notice a difference in axle wrap.
