Enough talkie talkie already....start bendin some tube! :gigem:
i say, at 3:17 pm today, we all just concentrate really hard and picture the cage in our heads. maybe the collective will power of the club will build it for him. kinda like the ball turrent gunner and the shot off landing gear on that twilight zone episode.
**** yeah, you guys get on that. I want to see this thing done the next time I go home :flipoff2:
oh yeah. take care of the fender trimming and add some new paint while you'll are at it :flipoff2:
I hope to start on the cage right around or just after graduation, so I still have a few weeks of thinking and planning.
WTH, its past 3:17, and my dad says that no cage has magically appeared yet. You guys are falling down on the job here :mad:
okay, from the pics you guys can kinda see how tall the 4runner is on the 40 inch iroks. One mod that I did that I was kinda leary on was the 2 inch body lift. I never have like them much, but at the time I hoped that it would give me the room needed for a flatbelly without having to cut the floor (it didn't). I had hoped that when combined with relatively flat springs the truck would not be to tall. It came out pretty good, and the truck is still not huge, but its still a little higher than I would like. Should I remove the body lift? If I want to do it, now is the time to before I start welding on stuff like bumpers and a cage. At this point everything I did mod wise to match the bodylift (raised t-cases, moded steering shaft, dropped radiator, etc) could be easily changed back
oh yeah, I may leave the t-cases raised up and cut the floor to match now that its going to be a trail only rig. The only problems I can see with ditching the bodylift is of course the tires not fitting, but considering how the fenders will be cut, I don't think it will be a big deal. I may also push the axles forward or back more if needed
I'm not a big fan of body lifts either. Why don't you cut the floor and go for the flat belly?
EDIT: I'd pull the body lift and cut the floor and the fenders like you just said.
I may, but maybe not at this stage. It may wait until I try to link the rear. To much stuff, not enough time
pull it. body lifts are :rainbow:
just realized the rear shocks mounts would need to go to drop it, but they might when I cut the rear fender anyway.
If you're going to link it, is it that big a deal?
links will not happen any time soon. Thats a future project.
The shocks are currently like this /\ and I would like to mount them like this l l . When I cut the fenders it will be easier to build some mounts off the cage to accomplish this.
