He said there is no way you guys would ever go where I go. Imagine a group of people that all drive like Chris.

I guess? He's the only guy who can say for sure. Imagine 4 35" MT/R's all spinning at the same time and barking away.........

Steve, does that accurately sum up the reason I was named "Banjo"?

I don't think I was the only one wondering about your mods. Cutting the frame, was our favorite................

Your a cool dooood, you took alot of ribbing in style.





Uh, Did I tell you about my new cheaper plan?

You'll probably like it even more once you see it!

My new cheaper plan just got about $650 more expensive with the new rear gears, install kit, ARB compressor, and install charges. Ouch! I sure wish I could change my thread to say just "My plan" I'll never live it or my "official" thread down!

Chris

P.S. I did find out something new about Steve, though, that most of you probably won't know about. Did you all know he's gay?

yup... yokoHOMOburrito didn't become his nickname for nuthin'...

$650, yeah, i could see that... you only need one rear set and one MIK for the rear. that should be $250 tops. you then need labor at about $150 if you pull the rear yourself - which you should do. after that, see if you can go cheaper on the compressor by finding one used. i see them on ebay in the $100 range from time to time.

Gears are $145, compressor is $199, MIK is $99, and labor roughly $200 or slightly less around here. Do you know where I can get it cheaper than PORC?

I know you're not. The best response you got was the younger guy that just moved to Fort Collins to go to school with the slightly spike blond hair, but I can't remember his name unfortunately! It was great!

I'm ready to place my order, but I want to make sure this is correct.

Yes you are.

You actually brought yourself to do business with "rednecks"? Thank you for supporting my college town.

PS- Our Belles are better than the ASU girls, dont even try me.

Andy, I have two questions.

First off. I am new to this.
Thanks to evryone for this forum. It has helped me a lot in learning about lifting the 4Runner.

Andy,
Is there any news on trdparts4u.com caring the TRD lift as a bolt-on package.
This would make things a lot easier for me.

Also, you did not mention much about the rear suspension. I just wanted to confirm the Downey Coils.
Is this correct: Part#-48296-3 3 ½" Lift Coils, 2WD or Unlocking Hubs
If so, did you install unlocking hubs.

Thanks for any help.

nothing from chris lately as to if he found a supplier for the studs. i was selling him the spacers for them if he could find the studs. you can always call him and ask...

rear suspension:
yup... 48296-3 3 ½" Lift Coils, 2WD or Unlocking Hubs

they go on the back, and for a 4wd, they only lift about 2.5", so you don't have to worry about unlocking hubs for either.... i don't know why they have that on there.

they're not cheap, but they are NICE coils.

Thanks for the quick response.

Thanks for the quick response.

I think I will just start filling the garage up with parts one at a time. Should be fun.
