Thread: 86 4runner

i finally got me a 4unner i cant wait to start building it!

go stevey

damn im jealous! nice 4runners I want one badly. I think im going to put a camper shell on my truck to make it look like a runner.

Curious about the "clearancing" you did on your CV's... I haven't heard of the TC Gen2 kits needing that modification?

you get more travel before the cv binds thats why u clearance it

I figured as much but haven't read anything or found any info on that mod....Guess I need to pull apart mine and seeing if last owner did it then lol

hey trd srp do you still have your runner?

when i removed the kit off my 95 i noticed the cv binding at full droop.. when you take the cvs apart you can see exactly where they are contacting...i remember dsrtrcr01 doing it to his so i just followed his lead..i no longer bind at full droop so i would say it was successful. glamisperson2121 stoked to see you finally got your runner..did you trade off the s-10?

Stoddard Valley - YouTube!

the runner is in there around 1:20...i also got a few shitty cell phone videos from barstow main that i will try to get up here

Some of those guys are standing a bit close...would hate to see something happen be careful out there. Your truck looked pretty good! Your build is coming out really clean. I might be stealing that back bumper design
More vids!

i pulled my axles apart with the intentions of clearancing them, and after cycling, cycling, and cycling again, i came to the realization that i had LOTS of room before anything would bind. and that was before putting on the droop stops.

no major updates..scored a rear bench seat and built a cross brace to support the shock hoop until i have the time and funds to cage her. but at least i wont be worried about the hoops anymore

Mine don't bind either. My shocks top out before that happens... thinking there may be some differences between aftermarket axles or factory ones? Some may bind and others not?

quick teaser before i can get pics up

adam's runner jump. - YouTube

awsome looks like fun

Holy shit I did not think that this thing could fly like that!

So do the bypasses on the front help that much? We have basically the exact same truck so i got to know because I do not see my runner getting that high. Not because it can't but I am not a Jumper.

Nice sail looking good.

might be camera angle, but your alignment looks fucked in that last pic haha.


jumpin the shit out of it, looks good!

no it must have been his crazy fish eye lens thing on his camera. pic was taken when we first arrived ..marked the cams after the last alignment and they didnt move all weekend. drove the truck 130 miles home with no issues or weird noises. the pic where we landed on two wheels popped the rear passenger tire(hit the bump stop bolt) and bent up my bump stop pretty good. threw on the spare and grabbed another bump from poly and was good to go for the rest of the weekend.

wow did it bend the shaft or just cock eye the piston in the shock body

broke one of the mounting holes for the front fiberglass, bumpstop and tire was all the damage. drove her home with no issues. drives as straight as can be. no funny noises. shes a champ

bypass not needed. these are


haha having the bump zone in the bypass obviously helps with the hard landings...not gonna lie..i was a bit sore the next morning

^ i can see how having those things bouncing around could cause some pain....lol

H-SHIT that's some sweet air! Mine has the same front end on it.... wish I wouldn't have seen those pics lol
