Ok, here goes. Here's some pics of my truck- on the day my Uncle purchased it in 1984

...And when I purchased it from him in mid 1998

I'm jealous.

Man, your uncle really took care of that truck, but it only makes sense that you would imrpove it

Makohon · « **Reply #10 on:** Dec 07, 2004, 01:54:40 PM »

nice rig... similiar to what im gonna do... what size lift and are those 35's? is it all suspension or is it body also?? $Beer Chug\'n$

reklund5 · « **Reply #11 on:** Dec 07, 2004, 04:10:28 PM »

Thanks for the compliments! BigMike- don't be jealous, just drive that badass 3RZ out here to NM and lets go wheeling! The lift is 4" front/5" rear AllPoo springs ( before they were hecho in mexico) and a 2" body lift. The tires are 37" Wrangler MTR's on crappy 17" wheels. I really need different wheels, as these are the incorrect offset and the truck is really tippy. (Not that all that lift helps...) I want to get a set of Allied Rock-a-thon beadlocks with like a 2.5 or 3" backspacing...

I'll try to post up some specs later tonite...

92 4Runner bucket seats replaced factory bench

Ramsey REP8000 winch
37" Wrangler MTR's
TRD cam and header, 2.25" exhaust with Flowmaster
SR5 Guage cluster
vented front rotors/IFS caliper
wide rear axle with 01 Tundra drums
crappy old (free) Fosgate CD player with aux input for the iPod...

That's all i remember at this hour...

Our trucks almost look the same. $Beer Chug\'n$ Was there a noticable difference when you put the new exhaust on? Iv been thinking about a header and larger exhaust to try and get some more power.

Makohon · « **Reply #14 on:** Dec 08, 2004, 08:12:07 AM »

hey are those the allpoo 56'' rears?? looks like it just making sure.... did you move the rear shakle mount or did you leave it and the shackle is at a more extreme angle??

trying to figure everything out before i tackle my roject!! thanx dude $Beer Chug\'n$

reklund5 · « **Reply #15 on:** Dec 08, 2004, 08:21:22 PM »

Yota- There was a little improvement when I installed the exhaust...though I did it at the same time as the EFI conversion so it is hart to tell if my performance gains were from the EFI swap or the exhaust. I really like the TRD header, but it was spendy even with my employee discount. The 2.25" exhaust is great, but the flowmaster is a little loud for my tastes.

Makohon- Yes, they're the 56" springs. I did end up moving the rear shackle hanger back, but only a little. I had a mehcanical engineering student buddy of mine do some math to optimize the hanger placement. The last 3 SAS's I've done for friends I've just left them stock and they work out great. The 4Runners sag a little, but nobody seems to mind. Its not like if I moved them the truck would sit level anyway...

Hey I'm sorta new to NM and am looking for places to go wheeling. Let me know of some spots other than at the end of southern. I'd like to go somewhere where it's green.

Makohon · « **Reply #17 on:** Dec 09, 2004, 08:03:26 AM »

welcome

but wrong place to post this question

pots on off topic or trail reports, events, gatherings!!

reklund5 · « **Reply #18 on:** Dec 09, 2004, 05:22:53 PM »

kauaikid-

There's tons of great wheeling in NM! I'd reccomend checking the NM4Wheelers page at www.nm4w.org and come along on the next outing! We go all over the state to wheel, and to lots of the bigger events- the chili challenge in Las Cruces for example.

I'll have to scrounge up some more recent pics, but the last time I had it on the Dyno, it was at 418 RWHP on race fuel at 26psi. Its fun, for sure!

Thanks!
