I gotta ask man, what do you do for a living, because you probably have over 5K invested in that rig. I wanna to the same to my X-Cab but, holy jeebus is my wish list a killer from TG! What do I gotta do to get where yer at? Also did you go to Wyotech or UTI to learn all that stuff about welding and suspension? Cuz I know you can't just start turning wrenches and expect to a suspension guru at home in the garage

Well I am in the Air Force now. I have probably close to $5k in the rig, but that is also including the cost of the runner itself... My dad used to be a mechanic, and I have a buddy that used to build custom yotas. So I just learned from them over time... and had alot of help from them too during the build. Craigslist man! You can get everything cheap on there, just gotta wait for the right deals, and I sell my old stuff on their for a pretty penny too.

you got any pics of how you set up the rear shocks? i got the same shock mount bar, but i cant seem to fit it above the axle because the proportioning valve is kinda in the way. Rig is looking sweet!!

So I made something new today... Inspired by a few others designs, I made a rear tire carrier that mounts to the rear bumper hitch. It can fold down out of the way for use of the tailgate. For less than $20, its works for me! Here a are a few pics...
I don't have pics of it, but I ended up with the license plate in the rim with a little light to stay legal rigged up to my tow lighting wires. CA is crazy with those little laws.

Just picked up a used set of duals! This guy only used on two trail rides! Will get pics soon... now just gotta find time to install
It is a pair of stock cases mated together with an inchworm adapter, all held up with a BudBuilt crossmember.

Man, I just got finished reading your build thread and I love it. I'm getting ready to SAS my white 2nd Gen 4Runner, and its nice to see a mirror of the future. You did an awesome job. I hope mine turns out as nice as yours. BTW, did your original TG springs ever sag so bad they needed upgrading? Trying to decide on spring height based on how much they'll sag. Thanks. Nice Rig!!
