ROTM WarDamnEagle's 85 4Runner

[WarDamnEagle]

Good to hear on the springs, thanks for the taking the time to measure your truck and post the pics. I went ahead an ordered front and rear OMEs from cruiser outfitters Cruiser Outfitters

Turns out there is a different part # for the front springs, CS008FA or B.

Are those still 31s on your rig?

You may have covered this but did you have any issues with the u bolts and drag link? They call for special u bolts in the ARB application guide, im guessing they are just thinner?? I'm already running a drop drag link so i'm hoping its not going to be an issue.

Ill post more in a seperate thread...dont want to hi jack yours...

Now that you mention it, I do remember A and B front springs.

Yes, those are 31" BFG MT's with about 1/2 the tread left.

I had to go to a drop draglink because the very back of the stock draglink wouldn't clear the U-bolt even though I was using the "special" flattened top, OME U-bolts. You shouldn't have any trouble with the drop draglink.

Good luck with the install. I had access to a friend's shop with lifts, etc. so it was pretty easy.

Thought I should update this thread with some photos. New paint (Toyota Sun Fusion yellow), new carpet and new seats front and rear (1995 SR5 4Runner).


Exterior first:

Where did you pickup the rear bumper? Also do you have any detailed photographs of both front and rear and how they're mounted? I like the way the ARB and rear look and have a friend who is willing to help me fabricating my own. Only problem is I need some quality images to go off of. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Not sure if the guy is still in business. He had a shop just west of Atlanta (maybe Douglasville?). He was very slow, didn't have the greatest reputation on delivery but did build a good bumper. I had a link to his old website but now I can't find it.

The front bumper is just a standard ARB. I would take some pics for you but I'm not going to be near that vehicle for a few weeks. Sorry about that.

Edit: Kennesaw Mountain fabrication or something like that. I don't think they are still in business. As you can see from this link, lots of problems with delivery:

Super nice! I'm new here, bringing up an 87 that's been neglected. Question about the fender flares. Bushwacker Extend A Flare...not cutouts. They don't show those EAF's available for T4R on BW site, but do for pickups. However, pickups of same model years have a fuel door cut out in the RR flare.
I don't see picks of your passenger side, so don't know if your flare has that cut out.
What model number did you get? Perhaps things have changed at BW.
Help appreciated, and way nice rig! Thanks.

New shoes to replace the 12 yo BFGs.

Spent a couple of days on our property this week and pulled the 4Runner out of hibernation for a spin in the woods. I keep it on a battery tender with seafoam in the tank. Cranked right up and ran well. is pushing to take this one back to the OEM paint color. I might have to accommodate her given her support with all my Land Cruisers.
