Yjay's 2nd gen 4runner

[THK Matt]

yeah seems like the spring would be mounted too far away from the frame.

[yjay]

Here's where the idea came from.

I don't want to run 37's. 35's or maybe 36's if I do IROK's.

[THK Matt]

he used that bracket... but you can see he cut the end of the bracket and welded a piece of square tubing to the end.

[GJToyotabug]

you need one more lol

[boggerunner]

it needs to look like this

[yjay]

We'll see how 119 to 1 works first. My jeep was 36 to 1 if I remember correctly.
Grab a sponge for that junk yo!

[THK Matt]

I'm jealous Bro.

[yjay]

I picked up an 83 front axle today and I'm getting ready to prep it. I have a low pinion 5.29 third and am going to cut and turn the knuckles for more caster and also to rotate the pinion up. I'm assuming I then must remove all the brackets including the perches and relocate them? Is it preferable to cut the knuckles with a pipe cutter or a cutting wheel on a grinder?

[Yotaman80]

Sick truck. I was going to cut and roll mine but i came up on a hp 3rd. I heard pipe cutter is the way to go cause you get an even cut all around the axle. Cant to see more.

[THK Matt]

YJ, you will have to relocate the perches and steering stops.

[yotadork83]

pipe cutter done it before and it works the best.

[yjay]

When you do a u bolt flip, does that eliminate the perch on the bottom driver's side?

[yjay]

Here's the new axle. Check out the rotor. Do you think Napa can still turn it?

[crawlerdan]

nice rig man, im building a 92 right now, what are the over all plans?

[yjay]

4" front lift, 5" rear, dual 2.28 cases, 5.29's open front for now-detroit rear, 35's probably hankook dynapro mt's, they worked good on my Jeep for all purpose, I'll make the bumpers and cage. It'll be my daily driver. Trying to keep it as light as I can. 22re's aren't awe inspiring so the lighter the better.

[crawlerdan]

keeping the coils or leaf swap?

[yjay]

Leafs. Probably a kit. I know it won't twist like 63's, but it doesn't matter to me. I want streetability too and I think they'll be good.I may do creeper joints later if I want more, plus I can always play with the leaves. I've got a ton of misc. ones around.

[THK Matt]

THAT ROTOR IS HORRIBLE!!!

glad to see you finally got an axle to start working on.
do I see FJ60 rotors in the plans?


EDIT: I am so jealous on the trans/tcases setup you have. 

Haha Let me know if you need a hand with anything.

[yjay]

IFS vented rotors.It's all gonna be pretty standard stuff.

im going to, and am trying really hard to get decent flex with the coils and links.we'll see how it ends up

Uh.... can you run IFS style Rotors?

FJ60 Rotors are vented.... and thats what Marlin sells as well as other vendors.

[yjay]

Yup, and re-use my ifs calipers.

[Yotaman80]

Yah ifs will work for sure and they are the cheaper way to go (not in quality but in price) . They are also easier to find too.

[THK Matt]

huh..... cause I know the rotors are not the same.
I compared my FJ60 rotors that came in my SAS kit and my 87 rotors last november and they were no close to the same.
I'm curious if they will give you the right offset.. .I dont think the calipers will sit on there right.


Let me know though YJay

ifs rotors can be used with ifs hubs and a spacer kit from skyx, or you can mount the ifs caliper outside the mounting ears, that is probably what he is refering to

[THK Matt]

oh okay thanks for the info....
sounds to me its cheaper (30/pr Rotor) to get FJ60 Rotors at Napa.

Guess ya go with what ya got

[yjay]

A little torchin', a little grindin', an advanced case of brown lung and VIOLA!
Also, I believe you can run ifs rotors and calipers on a solid axle if you grind the calipers a smidge, am I wrong?

[THK Matt]

the FJ60 rotors are cheap enough IMHO to just buy and run those.....
try it out though.


comin together bro.


you runnin stock axle or what?
Longs, 5.29s, locker, etc.....

and if you need a line a on an IFS rear housing let me know. my buddys have a bone yard.

[THK Matt]

Hey just got off the phone with my buddy.


he has an 87 IFS complete rear axle he'll trade you straight across for your 4Runner Rear Axle, 2 Coils and the 4 link arms.

Let me know!
