Well, I am deep enough in this thing, I might as well do a build thread.

Picked up a 95 4Runner Limited to build a new dedicated trail rig:

The day I bought it:

Enter Stage 2:

Obviously IFS does not hold up to “Kyle Style” wheeling.

So I bought parts, and then a 5spd equipped parts truck, then some more parts, then another parts truck, and then some more parts.

So all these parts weren’t going to glue themselves onto the truck, and since I can’t fabricate a Ham Sandwich, I called in some help.

Contracted @Kickdeez to finish up stage 2.

Why not link the front while you are there?

I would love to, bit too late now, and I have spent so much $ already it’s ridiculous.

Need to get the current stuff done, then hopefully wheel for a bit while I save up money for stage 3.

Stage 4 we can talk about linking the front . 😎
