Thread: Need ideas on a 91 4-runner buildup.

Probably going with a Chaos front with coilovers. I need some ideas about the rear, Should I go with Deavers and run the shocks inside to the cage? or should I go with a 4-link setup? Does anybody have any 4-runner pics?

Oldie but goodie

I have another built 4runner that is as good if not better than that one. Well it is a 1986 4runner that was 4x4 but I converted it to 2wd now.It has the ATS kit up front but upper uniball.It has a 10 by 2.5 swayaway shock but I am going to dual rate coils from King real soon.It has the back plexiglass window and it is all sealed. Has a 32 gallon Jaz cell with all hydraulic lines. Rear cage with 18" stroke 2.5 swayaways with air bumps and 62" Deavers.Has rear tire carrier integrated and has ice chest/pit box/extra tire carrier and another bolt on spare tire carrier.In the motor department it has a 3.0 7m-ge Inline 6 Supra motor non-turbo. Has dual Spal fans with oversized Griffin Racing aluminum radiator. Has race radio with GPS hookups, oh and its on 33 by 12.50 by 15 inch rim. I think thats it for now. I am trying to get pictures up on the net....with in the next couple of days.

Get some pictures it sounds sweet. I like the Fiberwerks glass, thats what I want on mine. Anyone know how difficult it is to put deavers on the back of a 91?

if u need pics ryan i got my digi just let me know and we can do it.

Alright Precummer u should get piks of my truck this weekend at Barstow in its naturall enviornment.So what do u say about coming out for the weekend and taking some piks and partying?Taht way I can get some piks on the internet finally.

62's arent bad to install on a 4runner, i did the back on jeff sack's (5-1600 racer) prerunner 4runner. same as any other install except that i had to remove the gas tank to be able to weld the front hanger it. works good too.

I was thinking about making a fuel cell anyway so I don't think I would have a problem with the tank. Did you guys use a custom spring or the regular racepack? the runner seems a little heavy in the rear. did you go over or under axle? seems like under might limit wrap a little. what glass are you guys running? anyone know anything about the Fiberwerks rear guarters? Get me some pics, here ia AZ I have nothing to look at.

I am using glassworks I think. My sheetmetal is just cut so I can tuck the tires. I can even tuck 35's if I really wanted to.
I didnt know fiberwerx had rear quarters.

Check out the fiberwerx site. they look sick, don't know about the rear door piece or how it all fits up. I need to give them a call this week on prices and availability.

we modified a 62" spring for it. spring under has less axle wrap, and, in this case, is the way to go.

you can use the total chaos components for the 89-95 truck, same thing. you might also want to consider getting the full kit from kartek. comes with everything for a package deal

What does that kit cost? what do you get?

I'm curious as to why you removed 4wd?

The 4wd was partially removed by the previous owner because of the supra swap. I would have to get the oil pan notched and at the time I didnt want to do all that work as it is my daily driver. Then the tranny blew and I needed a new one. The tranny guy suggested using a 2wd tranny from the turbo'd 22rte truck. It is alot beefier but now I probably should have used a supra tranny but it still is fine. I really dont think I need 4wd but it would be nice putting it in 4wd hogh and blasting through the silt beds. But so far I havnt needed 4wd yet.
