85+92 did u still have the IFS on your 4runner? Thank u everybody u were very helpful. Oh and is there any mods for IFS for a better ride?
Not really. You can just retain as much of the original handling and ride quality as possible when you lift it and give it more suspension travel. Note, on that old of a vehicle all the bushings may be old warn and tired. Replacing them will likely help allot.
I think I like addicted off road bumper more than I like the trail gear low profile front bumper and its also a little cheaper than trail gears front bumper. If u guys have rock sliders where did u get them?
I like ARB's best, but then it is made for bouncing 100lbs roos at speed so you aren't stranded in the middle of nowhere. That is the type of protection I need. IA has way to many deer.
Also the OME suspension kit can come with new t- bars but it comes with a price of course
Alright I just need to know good idea or bad idea for swapping t-bars? 4rnr brings up some good points on the t-bars. This is also my DD so if the t-bars from the OME are a better ride off and on road or should I just leave them stock? Once again thank u everybody for all the advice
Adding weight to the front like when adding a heavy duty bumper, you will want stronger t-bars. The OME ones are sized for a ARB bull bar bumper, with or without winch. You don't need to crank up the lift, but you also can if you desire. 1.5" is about the maximum you can go in the front with IFS. 4crawler has some IFS lift blocks and a bunch to say about lifts and and what tires you can fit. The OME t-bars with their shocks are supposed to be very good at eating up washboard and rough roads. They were designed for the Australian Outback with it's poor roads.

The xmass I'm getting a '95 4runner with 3.0slow and 5 speed manual in exchange for a cooler of beef, my brother thinks this is a good deal
. The mods I'll likely make to it are first an ARB bull bar bumper, plus OME Torsion bars but 0" lift for now. Later I'll add 4crawler 1" IFS lift blocks, crank front suspension up 1", and also add OME medium strength rear springs (1.5" lift), and OME front and rear shocks. I'll keep the tires at 31" as they are commonly available. Eventually I'll add Toyota electric or ARB air lockers and change the differentials to suit the 31" tire size. Also I'll likely be modifying the exhaust system per engnbldr's recommendations. My brother say's it needs a new exhaust system as there are holes in it now.
Right, I see engnbldr says leave the exhaust alone. The engine needs some back pressure for low end power.
4x4Wire's TrailTalk Forums: need a lil more power any suggestions? OK, that simplifies things.
