NorCalToy · « **Reply #91 on:** Jun 24, 2008, 04:25:24 PM »

flopp, i got no way to drop my stock spare...

i tried to make a tool, but it bent really badly. the whole thing twistd, ill post a pic ina minute.

NorCalToy · « **Reply #92 on:** Jun 24, 2008, 04:43:39 PM »

hers the tool on the ground, made of i think 3/8" rebar and then i think 1'8" plate at the tip,

then hers how the tip twisted whe i tried to use it,

KDXSR5 · « **Reply #93 on:** Jun 24, 2008, 04:47:02 PM »

hmm... ask if anybody has the correct bar... there has to be another toy in your area that might have the stock stuff

NorCalToy · « **Reply #94 on:** Jun 24, 2008, 04:48:46 PM »

i got a friend whos got the stuff, ill have to see if i can borrow it again, i had to borrow it before when i dropped the spare from the 89.

a little advice... id KEEP THAT spare in the cargo area.... DO NOT put it back under. it minimizes the departure and approach angles.

NorCalToy · « **Reply #96 on:** Jun 24, 2008, 05:39:02 PM »

did you forget about the carrier im making?

and yea, i know thats gonna kill a bit of my departure angle but im not really worried about it right now, later on down the line ill remake something better and ill be cool, but for now itll work for me just fine.

NorCalToy · « **Reply #97 on:** Jun 24, 2008, 05:42:46 PM »

and my rear angle is already total garbage $I\'m Down$ , i may think about trying to build a skid plate into the tire carrier so at least when i drop it on something its smooth.

sweet. now clean up the runner and sell it to fix your truck.

NorCalToy · « **Reply #103 on:** Jun 24, 2008, 10:22:11 PM »

ok, after some research, i think im gonna get some Ball joint spacers, and then Coil Spacers (for now, until i go leafs)(or mabye instead ill convert to leafs, idk yet,) to give me a 2" lift, plenty to clear 33's with some trimming if needed, and then im gonn aprobly weld the rear end, and call it good for awhile until, i get duals.

IFS is plenty for most of my local trails, and having a challenge while wheeling is more fun thatn oh, look my 37 goes right over those rocks...

And make sure you STRAP IT DOWN!! It'd really suck to have a 50lb tire and wheel combo flying around if you get in an accident, or even start spinning on an icy road. The results are not pretty, trust me!

How 'bout you get moving on fixing the engine first? Replacing it, whatever you're going to do. You can have the sickest rig ever, but if it doesn't run, its not gonna do you much good

I TOTALLY AGREE! that is a very good idea, there are two d-rings next to each wheel well in back.... run a strap across the spare.

Yeah i know what you mean, my white truck was a great example for that. get on fixing that engine... do some headwork and call it good. i can almost bet thats all it needs and youll have a great truck.

Why don't you find the factory tailgate mounted spare tire carrier? They were optional on earlier 2nd gens.

x2....if you remove the front and rear bumpers it will dramatically increase your departure and approach angles....plus less chance of pushing the bumpers into the body on the trail...

if i carry the spare inside ill run straps across it in an X pattern. its just nice to have the interior room, and right now the rear tailgate and window dont open becuase the motor is bad.

whenever i can find a new motor i should be good to go.

yea, im fixing the engine. im doing a bunch of free stuff now.

ive got some ideas...

they dont look as clean on a 4runner, but i think itll be alright..well see.

NorCalToy · « **Reply #111 on:** Jun 25, 2008, 03:29:20 PM »

alright i just about finished up the tire carrier, i just need to get some bolts and a couple of trailer pins to hold it in place, the well be all good.

pics:

and yea, it made my already horrible departure angle even worse

its onlytemporary because i got bored and wanted to build something, but itll work for now.

andd ill paint it black.

KDXSR5 · « **Reply #112 on:** Jun 25, 2008, 03:30:57 PM »

dude. the engine is happening this weekend. nothing i can do until then, and like i said this carrier was basically free so it doesnt even matter.

KDXSR5 · « **Reply #114 on:** Jun 25, 2008, 03:40:14 PM »

I know, I was just giving you crap about the engine

KDXSR5 · « **Reply #116 on:** Jun 25, 2008, 03:55:34 PM »

It was free, it was an experiment, who cares how it turned out as long as it doesn't hurt anybody or anything

79coyotefrg · « **Reply #117 on:** Jun 25, 2008, 04:02:48 PM »
