SAS'd 88 4runner

[Joey88RUNR]

Here is my 88 runner, Me and my buddy are working on. Dont Mind the TG parts I know all about it....I picked this stuff up second hand for a Real good price, Operations are going pretty smooth just time consuming and LOTS of grinding and cutting! oh yea and It is my DD.




Here I am cathing Myself on fire and burnt through the coveralls and through my Shorts!

Added support to Shackle body mount we fabbed

[Joey88RUNR]

Setting it up

[Joey88RUNR]

Ended up looking pretty good and wide with the wheel spacers and the 15x12 wheels with some cheap MT's i came across

[Joey88RUNR]

Welds look ok for a 110 lincoln welder....i plan on going over them with a 220 stick in the near future

[Joey88RUNR]

[Joey88RUNR]

Pretty sure Im gonna have to relocate my steering box...I did pick up Marlins HD steering box mount to fix that up!...I dont think it is goin to be very fun though.

[Joey88RUNR]

[Joey88RUNR]

The rear of my frame was kinda messed up, someone cut part of the rear frame when they took the bumper off or something so we fixed it up extended it and reinforced it.

[Joey88RUNR]

Cutting th rear spring perches to relocate the pinion angle later on

[Joey88RUNR]

It rained alll day here in fresno on sunday so we had to get out the easy up!...ill have more pics to come...my camera doesnt take very good pics in the dark.

[toyotanner]

[DTB]

 Very nice work but SMILE son! It's supposed to be fun!

[Joey88RUNR]

Thanks alot guys...got a lot of work to do today to finish it up!

[NorCalToy]

are you done yet?

looks good. what size tires and lift are you running?

[toyotanner]

i think your gonna need bigger tires

[Joey88RUNR]

My wheels and tires are 33x12.5 and rims i believe are 15x12, i came across these wheels and tires for free actually...they were off of a tahoe.... long story, it actually looks decent i have some 36' iroks but im waiting on gears.

[Joey88RUNR]

oh and i have a severe vibration in the rear drive line....they are 5" TG springs...what should i do?...i put some 4 degree shims from auto zone in the rear to correct the pinion angle a little...but its still there but not so bad. it makes noise when i decel...ill post some more pics of the finished product

[Joey88RUNR]

Does this angle look ok?...my friend did the measurements alll right i think...maybe not....the noise im hearing may be coming from the slip in the front of the drive line

[Joey88RUNR]

Not to sure about this brake line..i have it zip tied to the shock

[slabcs]

Those shims are on backwards.

Have you tried calling Trail-Gear?

Truck is looking sharp!

[ajordan1975]

looks good!   

[toyotanner]

Those shims are on backwards.

they are definately backwards

[DTB]

they are definately backwards

Maybe he's trying to point the pinion down instead of up?

In post #10 he cut off the rear perches & welded new ones for pinion angle.

I would've left the stock perches on & tried it first then go from there

I have run into this problem as well after cutting off my perches and re-welding...its hard to guess exactly how much the springs will settle or not....changing the angle every bit they settle down...not much...but just enough to vibe
