I’ve finally started buying parts for the truck, I got some outboard shock hoops from FGP as well as some 2.5x14” king bypass shocks to pair with them. Now I just have to wait for them to come in!

😂😂 my buddy pulled them off an SAS 3rd gen and he wanted my stock housings so we just traded.

Haven’t done any suspension work yet but just more thinking. Had a buddy who wanted my factory headlights so I traded him for some retrofits he had laying around. I’m going to get the shock relocation on Thursday and go with what you guys were saying and do the FGP 3-link and will be saving the...

I already have to cut everything off of the axle since I’m swapping in a sequoia axle. None of the mounts line up so I’ll either be moving all my link tabs over to the new axle or making new ones for it. The FGP kit is almost completely bolt on if you’re using the factory axle.

Thank you, yea freel good performance has a 3 link kit for the 4Runners I like it and it works really well but I like the idea of a leaf sprung 3rd gen. I don’t see it often and it’s much more simple than a 3link setup. Duneit currently has a 3rd gen that has rear leafs and he’s currently doing...

I didn’t really want to do the FGP kit, not that I don’t think it’s a good kit but I just don’t think I’m up to the challenge of linking a truck. I have some friends out here that’ll help me out but I wanted to try something different that isn’t seen much.

I have continued thinking about this rear end setup and have decided to go with a leaf spring rear end since my fab skills are not up to par with attempting to build a link setup. I also think it will be more unique. I found these pictures online for inspiration but haven’t been able to find...

I hate mud but it’s gone in it

This is my 98 4runner limited that I’ve been building for the last 3 years and I thought I would finally start a thread on it since I’m planing to start building the rear. It currently has Total Chaos 3.5” long travel and some 2.5x8 coilovers. I just picked up a rear sequoia axle to match the...

Final update for now, the ranger needed too much work that I was not able to do and would cost too much for a shop to do it so I decided to sell it. I still plan on getting a ranger but I will most likely be purchasing a daily and then selling the 4runner to fund a new ranger project.

It’s looking like it’s still from the pan so I’m not entirely sure what the deal is. I’m taking it to a shop on Wednesday to get everything diagnosed and then I’ll go from there.

Update on the ranger, I did a fluid change and filter on the transmission and it’s running much better. The next thing I have planned is to replace the ATF and the filter again since the fluid has cycled through. But as you can see from the picture it’s still leaking a good bit which is coming...

Just picked up a 1991 ford ranger XLT 4x4 with the 4.0 that I’m wanting to turn into a daily/sleeper prerunner. Got it for only $750 (could’ve been $500 pre covid) with a messed up transmission and a few leaks. Once I get the small stuff fixed up I’m looking at running the solo motorsports stage...

Great, thanks for the info!

Thank you for the input, looking around I think the threat Motorsport uneven beams are looking like the best option as I’m planning on getting a 2wd truck
