No marks on either yet, but I'll keep my eye on that. Thanks for the heads up.

Total Chaos now makes this for the rear of tacos. Maybe you could adapt some of the pieces from it but chances are you are going to need to make your own. Wait, yours is leaf sprung right. Just swap out the leafs for some deavers and change out the hangers and your pretty much there. TC has a rear kit that includes everything for older tacos and should work on the rear of an older 4runner. Call them and they will sort it out for you.

Like those baby bypasses do you. lol I use to think bypass shocks were overkill for a DD/prerunner until I experienced the difference they make. Not sure about their performance on a rockcrawler, but for bombing through the dezert they are a must have.

i like this setup. maybe i will have room inside the wheel well if i go with a T100 rear end to match the track width of the TC front suspension. i have to have the bed for truck stuff. i also wonder if 4" bulge hannemann bedsides would clear? btw awesome work on the runner. i bet thats a lot of fun.

I may or may not have rear fiberglass fenders that I may or may not sell you for cheap to help you out. PM me so the powers at be don't delete me for posting a "ad" in my own thread.
