    Default Dribrus's 4 runner

    Well, i go ahead and start the post for ken...

    Heres what we have at this point...

    ken was up on potts mountain and the truck pretty much came apart, the lift blocks busted, u-bolts bent, and the axle was under the gas tank on the pass. side.. he had to leave the truck on the mountain that night..

    well, myself and jamie was able to get it fixed enough to get it off the mountain the next day..

    ken and i talked, and this is what we decided to do to the runner at this point..

    solid axle swap on the front with 4" all pro springs, with the added full high steer kit from all pro too.. the rear im not totally for sure what we are goin to do on it but it will be right..
    i believe im taking the 3" body out and cutting them down to a 1" lift..
    goin to swap out the old rotors and brakes with the ifs brakes..
    the rear i beleive we are goin to put in a locker but havent made it to tht stage yet..
    heres some pics of the stuff i have so far..

    for some reason i can upload the pics.. will try later..

    (In Yoda voice) Gears,lockers, longfields ,and twin T-cases in his future I see yes.

    Congrats Ken your rig is in good hands. Not only is Chris a good guy but a hell of a fabricator as well.

    nice. One thing I should suggest is to go ahead and gusset the front axle. Thorw in an e-locker while you are at it.
