You should put a "sold" caption on the picture of your truck....... or put a new picture up of your 4Runner. What year is the 4Runner?

Hey guys, I started a forum in the Vendor Advertising section called Blazeland D.I.Y. weld up kit! In this thread I will be discussing the possibility of a D.I.Y. weld up kit. Check it out, do a forum search, type in "Blazeland " it should pull up.

This looks good, I asked if anyone formed any impressions from Pismo over on another site (UY). I'm also hoping someone might have some video of your rig in action over there. I'm nearly sold on the idea, just looking for some outside impressions (+ I just started getting ready for an elocker/regear/front lsd rebuild project, so I may have to hold off on more suspension work till spring anyway)

When we were in high school, my roomie raced on 1/2 and 1/4 mile ovals. To get the front outside tire camber they needed on the car, it was common practice to cut/lenghten/weld the LCAs - given some of the piss poor shoddy work I know most of those rednecks did on their cars, I don't remember a single control arm failure even though the springs are mounted to the lower arm (weight bearing).
I think that since the weight of a torsion sprung Toyota is carried on the upper arms, the biggest stresses the lower arms will see would come from bottoming out. Normal driving or a "respectable" pace offroad doesn't look like it'd have a bad effect on the system.

Keith,
I have not been to the other site (UY) besides just a quick look and that was a while ago. I know just about everyone who attended Pismo saw the kit on a blanket in the sand in main camp and most people at some time or another had their head peaking around the Fordota checking it out. It would have been great but no one to my knowledge got video footage. Anyway the kit has held up over the years on multiple vehicles under varying abuse. I have personally surprised myself (even at Pismo) of its durability and driven away from some really hard impacts. I have had a number of other mfg'd kits and broken them all in one way or another. This design is as strong as stock but because it allows so much more travel the hard impacts are absorbed.

Zach, I have had a few people contact me for a 2wd version. I am not that familar with the 2wd configuration, but I do know they are completly different and in that sense would require a completly new design. I am not able to undertake such a project at this time. I am not sure if I will be doing any suspension endeavors for that matter! If things don't pick up with the 4wd version it will bygone Downey, bygone Blazeland.
