Builds My Bad 91 Runner on 39.5's (should have got 42's)

[knixen]

Well, front suspension is about 6" of lift. 5" all-pro leaves and the spring hanger together with the all-pro shackles. I guess that evens out on 6".

So I need atleast 6" rear too... But I prefer the rear to be just a little bit taller than the front. So 7" would be great...

But, the question is. Do these 7" slee`s seem like the best option???

 

[knixen]

anyone with an opinion???

 

[knixen]

Since no-one did say anything, I just had to order these SOF5RM 6" lift coils for a HDJ-80. Slee - Springs
The price was acceptable, I guess it will take a few weeks before they arrive here...

But looking forward to it

Pro comp adapters mounted on the upper arms. I really like the result, the arms are level now. This I think will improve flexing, especially downwards

Mounted the winch today, just had to cut out the bumper peace that was in the way. Warn m-8000 in front, also have an detachable Tabor 9k winch which I may either use in front if the warn fails, or in my multi-mount rear.

Lookin' good Knix! I love this thread.... although it reminds me of what I may never be....

The front looks great!! The rear is what I am wondering about.....with the panhard at that steep of an angle the axle must way off center. Are you getting driveline vibrations? What springs are you running?

Thanx!! Remember that besides being a crazy Norwegian, the part-prices here are double what you pay....

Yes, I`m getting driveline vibrations. The rear axle are way off center, about 2". But an adjustable panhard is in the mail, and the pro comp panhard-drop adapter. So this will be fixed soon.

Today I run 3,5" pro comp coils rear, with a 2" all-pro spacer and need about an inch or two more. So I ordered slee 6" coils a few days ago which will arrive in a few weeks. Hopefully this will work, its the last resort before I do a leaf conversion...

What do you think Marc?

I am really happy about the tires, worked great in snow. A friend drove behind me in my tracks with 35-bfgs... they looked like bicycle tires...

The ride is sooooo smooooooooooooooooth!!! Like driving a water bed

Hey Knix, are you an "emergency vehicle" yet?


;p









**EDIT** YES!! I found it!!!

They have to cut a lot of metal sheet and put fender flares to fit the 38" to 45" balloons. Not much else involved. They often belong to rescue volunteers, who get the mods paid by government. They don't regear or mod the engine, so these trucks are usually clearly underpowered for anything else than snow plains. But they work perfectly there. Here's a picture by a fellow member of another forum:

Actually the local 4x4club is a volantary part of the local red cross organisation. So you could say that

But the geografi here is much different from iceland so the use for these types of wehicles are limited

a picture from last year... Got stuck, really happy about having a sunroof! Wasnt too happy about hooking up the winch doggy style...

 

[2ndGenToyotaFan]

Classic!

 

[knixen]

Mounted the adjustable panhard-rod yesterday, and what a difference!!! The rear suspension is behaving proberly and vibrations are gone. Will post pix, latest next week due to the easter holliday.

Still havent received the slee springs...

Bought me a cruiser... BJ40 with procomp lift and 35s...

I am not to kean on the cruiser stuff so what does the BJ stand for and I am not meaning Blow Job either.I see you got the straight axle completed it looks good.Is it street legal in your earlier post you were having problems with DMV.

I have set up a few Toy 3rd member with 5:71's.But it been a long time ago,the one thing that I had problem with was the pinion hit the stock case before when I added the shim under it the bearing. So I had problems getting the depth rite with stock case.I had no problem with the pinion hitting Detriots and ARB'S plenty of clearence.
