downpour11's SAS 96 4runner

Since it's already built, I'll just be posting wheeling pics in here when I get a chance.

Anyway:

1996 4runner SR5 5VZ 421,000 miles
3link front and rear
HP D44 (yeah yeah yeah…)
Ford 9" rear
Yukon 5.13's
ARB's front and rear
Reid's
Profender resi 12's up front (tuned)
Profender resi 14's rear (tuned)
High Angle drivelines + Flanges
315/75r16 Irok's

Work in progress as any other.

Callen (fawk awph) helped me finish the front crossmember the day before MCR so I could get the front DL in. Finished it at 6pm Sept 12th and I drove it straight to the round up at Rubicon.







On 37's when we put it on it's own weight









Since Matt hardly posts pictures of his truck, here ya go:









Obligatory poser shot

 

Forklift pics after I fixed some clearance and rubbing BS

 

Went up to support the Wheelers for the Wounded (formally Caring Vets) run up at High Lakes yesterday. No wheeling, just a fun poker run and raffle. Good people, good times, good cause, and good food.

 

"I gave that ditch a Toyota! Ditches love Toyotas."

 

My friends runner is finally driving!

2000 4runner, 5speed, Supercharged, Ford KP 60/14 bolt, reids, arctic brackets and truss', high angle drivelines, Atlas 4 speed, 14" profenders in the front, 12" profenders in the rear, hydro assist, 5.38's, a shit-ton of metal, ARB's front and rear, 3link/3link, etc, etc, etc.

Came out pretty sick! Still needs some more cutting, air bumps mounted up, some other stuff cut, new bumpers, sliders, etc etc, it's always endless.

 

Near future plans:

38x14.5r17 MTR Kevlar's
RCV's with Warn 30 spline hubs
Truss the turd of a 44
Synergy Balljoints
Air bumps
Hack up the fenders and the front bumper

T100 brake booster
New front seats
Chromo 31 spline rear axles and upgrade the shitty seals

Oh boy there goes the neighbor hood now that Rob is in the house. Hope all is well man. Good seeing you over here. Things have been well in the Ozarks. Wheeling the parks. Meeting some good dues from Clubs around here.

When you coming out so we can build my SAS?

Blue

 

hahaha yeah things are good! Glad all is well in Missouri! I don't think I'll ever be making it out that way anytime soon lol but maybe one day who knows?

 

Nice pics, keep them coming.

 

Finished the 3/4 ton brake upgrade on Monday.

I bought a 1975 K20 3/4 ton master cylinder. 1 1/4" bore.
1/2" fitting for 3/16" hardline
9/16" fitting for 3/16" hardline

The 2-bolt pattern is slightly wider (about 1/4") than the toyota bolt pattern on the booster, so I wallowed out the mounting holes on the MC to fit the toyota booster.

You'll need to unscrew the push rod from the booster and cut it down to size so it is verrrry close but not touching the MC piston. The piston needs to be able to fully retract back into it's closed position.

Pretty straight forward job:

Pull the old master cylinder
Wallow out the mounting holes of the new one
Unscrew the push rod
cut the push rod
Bench bleed MC
Cut and reflare the two brake lines to the master with each fitting on the line
Plug it in
Bleed brakes



Push rod BEFORE



I had cut the threads down, but it's unnecessary. You need to cut the tip.



Cut this almost down to the hex, but make sure you don't cut too much off or you'll need a new push rod.



This is what I ended up with. Note, you need to screw it all the way back in



Mounted up

 

Do you have any more documentation/writeup of your SAS? I love reading through those builds.

 

Yup it's all right here:

Went out to Calrocs yesterday and watched a ton of buggies compete. Lots of fun. My buddy and I had a vendor booth out there again which was nice.

Fabbed up this cool little tire stand for the event



My phone continues to suck







Bling bling axle







Bad picture of our friend's truck (the buggy with the MTR stickies). He broke his output shaft and then picked up a sponsorship and the company is buying him a brand new Atlas 4speed.







This is the only pic I could get of this truck. One of the coolest buggies I've ever seen. On rockwells, linked with double bypass', coilovers, ridiculous engine, absolutely insane truck.





Another friend's buggy (came in 5th at KOH)

 

Bought some 37" MTR's. 17x9 2" bs.





bad pic, but it's friggin wide. I like it.

 

Played around with this beast last night

 

I just got a lot more turned on than I did in that Busey thread

 

wow... lol jk I agree

 

Lol don't get me wrong. Both are sexy builds.

 

Different strokes for different folks lol. Im overland foucused and downpour is crawling. I would still give him my rig though if he would give his beast of a rig lol!

 

No trimming necessary to fit those tires right?

 

Not one bit. They will fit stock no problem.

Crazy the flex they get and this are 5twos.

 

54's

 

Eh what's two inches compared to badassness lol

 

apparently a lot, since so many people think the jump from 265/70r16 to 265/75r16 is life and death lol

 

Go this that done know how to use one of these:



Or one of these:



Then yes is would say it is life and death lol and like that guy has to worry about fender clearances. Hell the tire fits on the outside of the quarter panel

 

haha actually the front passenger tire is hitting the cage in those pics. He should just put some ATV tires on it.

 

Ha ha that would be priceless and he could enjoy 1" of diff clearance lol
