I no longer own this 4Runner, but I do miss it. It was in the family since new, and was VERY WELL maintained. This thing would PLOW through snow. I do regret selling it.

It was a 97' LIMITED.

Prob to level it out. Somtimes stability is not as important as a good night sleep.

Stockwell45, love the runner, awsome setup..

Probably less stable. But doesn't matter when it's parked, and it's nice not to roll to the back when I'm sleeping!

Hey guys I'm new here and was going to post some pics of my truck. But wanted to clean the engine real nice first. What's the best way to clean it gunk free?

Busted my front spider gears. Ended up with an ARB locker to replace them and after examination learned that the ring gear was also cracked. So I'm now running dual locked and 4.88s.

I found a really awesome man made obstacle course a few miles south of the big bridge in Smartsville. Looks like it might have been a fish ladder. Here's some pics. Locker works but I didn't need it or use it for any of this stuff. Used it once for climbing a soft steep hill. Vids are coming soon.






Not a bad decent angle but still dragged a lil frame on the way down.

Yup, all MDF.. Pretty heavy but the coils take it. The rear was already raked a little before the boxes and CBI rear bumper. Now it sits level which I was hoping.

Niice. Brush alittle fiberglass resin on there and let it soak in. then you'd have to paint it, but it would keep it from absorbing moisture and becoming heavier. Plus makes the edges hard and not chip easy. Just a thought. Ive done it before its actually very affective. And the fiberglass resin seals gaps for the subs.

I boxed in the subs.. they're sealed tight and I sealed every single edge on the inside.

I'll probably just cover them with some speaker box carpet. I don't really want to deal with fiberglass resin, it's a bit more tedious to work with. Arkansas is pretty dry/humid place so I wont have to worry about it collecting too much moisture. I'm happy with the turnout but MDF likes to split real easily when you screw into the sides of it. Thanks for the tips though. One of these days I'd like to work with fiberglass and figure out how all the stuff works.

Ya, with mdf you have to pre-drill your screw holes all the way thru.

Did this a while back.

Wow man, that looks great! So all you did was lay fiberglass resin on it and paint over when it dried? You can't even see the damn screws, that's nice.

Sorry, I missed a step. You have to Bondo and sand also. You probably could skip that step if you sanded the fiber glass good enough but its way harder to sand the resin then the bond.
