Topic: runr-meech's 88 build

[runr-meech]

Dingman needs a 529.

[DD85runner]

ill try to get one. hows your truck comin along?

[runr-meech [OP]]

my runner is comming along slowly. Got my front leaves mocked up,got my rear leaves on.Getting frame jig,tubes and shakles on Monday and finish up the front.

[DD85runner]

you have a build thread? what tires are you going to run when youre done?

[runr-meech [OP]]

no build thread yet, my camera and computer dont work together.Dingman has posted all my pics with his camera and computer.
I really want to run 36-13.5-15 iroks but low budget forces me to run almost any 36-38.Have my eye on some 36 iroks in the Bay.Just talked to a guy on pirate and i bought some NEW longs from him.

[DD85runner]

i was thinkin about those too but they are pricey. how much you get the longs for? what are your other plans with it?

[runr-meech [OP]]

see if i can get some pics up today.Dingman and i finnished up the rear on my runner and stuck Dingmans 40s on.OMG its huge and SICK! might need to lower it a little,but its SICK!

[86bobbedtoy]

what 488s you running?
oem?

[86bobbedtoy]

oh and looks like your running rufs
if so you should add a few leafs
once they flatten out you will need a whole new pack to start with
Im running 6 leafs.
and I think its still a little soft

[runr-meech [OP]]

Yea runnin ruf , i havent finnished my front pak, but im adding atleast 3 more leaves. I dont have the 488s yet, thats next on the list, im looking at 8" arb w/blown ring and pinion for 3 bills
might be worth it.

[Dingman.]

Obviously, but if the locker is good, i would go for it.

[4xKrawler]

good looking 4runner

[runr-meech [OP]]

thanks, 4xkrawler. its gettin there slowly.Its not bad for a $600 4runner.

[Dingman.]

[runr-meech [OP]]

This pic makes it look preety good but ,i think its too tall need to take a leaf out or something..?

[runr-meech [OP]]

clears Dingmans 4DEEs  no problem

[4xKrawler]

no it dont clear, what are you talkin about..... lol LOWER THAT TING!!!!!!

[4xKrawler]

NOOOO!!!!!!!!! lol maybe

just sayin its pretty tall. you could clear a 49!!!!!

[runr-meech [OP]]

didnt realize who this was , lol ha ha ha ha ha

[runr-meech [OP]]

anyone have some frame tubes , if had them i could finnish up the front of this pregnant dog.

[runr-meech [OP]]
