Well then thats a great memory! haha I watched those movies alot when I was younger and well still needed a reminder of that truck, you should take a look at his build... he put some work into that truck and it paid off big time! Its a BEAUTY of a truck.

So I know I posted these pix in my build and bumper fab build threads but I figured I'd show you all here the finished pix of the plate bumper that my dad and I built together. When I made the design I intended it to look like a mixture of CBI offroad, 4xInnovations and the Relentless offroad fab plate style bumpers for Tacomas. But I think I stuck with more of the look from Relentless offroad fab then anything. I think this bumper is super beefy and gives the truck a whole new look.
By making it myself I was able to design it to include everything I wanted and exactly where I wanted. And best of all is that I saved so much damn money doing it! And on top of all that I was able to help from Chefyota4x4's expert wiring skills to get a super clean install. Heck yea!

Thanks guys the bumper is made of 3/16" steel. and the trail-gear winch plate that I used as a foundation to build the whole bumper off of is made of 1/4" steel.

His 4Runner is SAS'd. His factory '89 rear axle is wider than the front and rear axles from 1985 and earlier pickups and 4Runners, which I'm assuming that's where he got his front axle from. So to make the width of the front the same as the rear, most SAS kits have wheel spacers. It's easier than getting rims with less backspacing for the front.

Tuef you are also right. i do have some offset as well. So the tires naturally stick out farther due to the rims. But yea i do need to go swap out those humongous wheel spacers for the 1.5" ones.

On my 4Runner (mine's an '89 with stock suspension and axles), even with the same offset wheels, the front wheels just seem to poke out from the fenders a little more than the rears.

Awww How clean. I remember when mine were nice n shiney like that lol
Obviously YES it is a huge freekin' wheel spacer. I'll get to it eventually. Dont judge me hahahaha I have a check engine light i have to address now. So that will be taking my $$$ for the mean time. oh well. I'll probably get it for myself for christmas lol
