    Thats great, 10-15 degrees is the sweet spot for what you are doing. I love how this is your first time with a build like this, but somehow you are doing everything right :cool: What are your fuel tank ideas? I always ended up moving the tank behind the axle, but that was only due to conveinence.

    Rear CO towers are more of a pain than fronts when you are tying to keep the bed useable. Good thing with links, there is very little stress on section of the frame. Only thing I reccomend is welding a recovery point on the axle and none on the frame if you no longer have a fully boxed frame. I...

    good lord! Brian's kit has uhhh... changed a lot. For the better, turns the rear axle into a triangle.

    I made my own tcase mount on one of my 4runners years ago. I bought the FROR center plate, then made some tabs that held rubber leaf spring bushings and mounted to a tube crossmember. No vibrations and shifters didn't move when under load anymore. I'm not a fan of the full fror kit, its too...

    K&N style, as in the kind that do nothing without oil and you can see right through. Like whats in the above picture. They work much better with a pre filter, especially a foam one with foam filter oil on it. Then you have to clean the pre filter every dusty trip, that oil attracts every...

    I agree, stock filters do a much better job of filtering air too. Any vehicle I have ever owned that had a K&N or knock off version of it, thats the first thing I got rid of. When I worked in a machine shop years ago you could tell which motors were cared for, which ones weren't and which ones...

    nice, I forgot about them. I got the RAdesigns in 2010 I believe. i'm pretty sure the picture on his website is of my transfer case lol you're a bad influence, now i'm going to look at a 4runner tomorrow....

    Whos triple sticks are those? I had the first ever RAdesigns produced triple stick on one of my 4runners, it was really nice and the linkage was taller but not as wide as yours. I made a whole new trans tunnel for that truck, as I also did a flat belly at the same time. really nice setup...

    Yeah, the instructions give you an idea of how it goes together, but as soon as you look start mocking up 90% of it is different.. lol Tube towers are plenty strong, but you have to run a crossover between the towers. I usually tie them into the front bumper as well. The biggest benefit was...

    Looking good! I didn’t have most of your fitment issues since the kits I have done were on a wider front axle. My 4runner was a Tacoma width and the Tacoma was a 62.5” was to wms. Could have used an extra inch on either side there too. Tube shock towers are easier to fit as well. I regret not...

    On mine I took about an inch out fo the oil pan to get the motor down a bit. Are you running ifs front hubs? Looks like it, but if not they will get you 1.5” more width per side without wheel spacers. On the steering box, I had to do the same thing on one of my trucks, snapped the hydro...

    I like how it looks with the axle pushed forward for 37's. I had a little bit of rub in the battery tray area on mine, only noticed because of the rub mark. If you plan on 37's, definitely go that route.

    for intercooler piping or any pass through, I use a hole saw. In the picture you posted above where there is already a hole where your pilot bit would go, I weld a piece of scrap in place to cover the hole. Thicker steel is better for larger hole saws. Then clean the edges up with a sanding drum...

    Looks good! Those are definitely short, the shanks on my Johnny joints are 3.25” long. Odds are you'll only adjust it once What's the new truck?

    In their pictures it looks like there is about 1/2” or so with the jam nut. I think the shaft on my Johnny joints are a bit longer. The bungs I used on this truck are 1.9” long, jam nut is .35”. Regardless, I always leave some room for adjustment in both directions. The clearance around my...

    The further in the better, but as long as the threads are fully engaged in the bung, your'e good. My guess is you would bend the link long before the shank, .250 wall 2" dom lower links aren't that hard to bend. Fortunately the links tuck up nicely on these kits, I highly doubt you'd have any...

    If you haven’t already, set your link length with the rod ends turned all the way in, then backed out 1/4” each. That leaves some adjustment in either direction. You can extend the links from that position 1” no problem. Looks good man, lots of progress

    You’re on the right track, I always push the axle far enough forward that I don’t have to trim the firewall at all, the sheet metal up front is easier to hack. The worst part about building a link setup is all of the cycling and checking clearances. Make sure when you mount your coilovers they...
