Mauzer's 02' Runner build

[drew02a]

But then I would have to fit 8 tires instead of 4 (2 rim/tires and 2 Stt's)

So true... Sounds like a job for a Tacoma,

Is there any part of my build that I'm not going to need your help on...this is getting ridiculous!

Edit: not that I don't appreciate your help, I just feel bad that we hardly ever work on YOUR rigs

My evil plan: I'm saving it up so you owe me big time when it comes time to do the engine swap, .

It doesn't bother me to help out fellow enthusiasts. There was a time when I had to use someone else's driveway to do all my stuff too. Now that I've got a driveway/ tools/ extra vehicle of my own, I have no problem sharing. Besides, hanging out working on trucks and drinking beer is way more fun than doing work all day long. I have plenty of time for programming after it gets dark.

 

[Mauzer]

Thats funny cause my evil plan was to help you with the engine swap so I could get better knowledge of the 3.4l! Muah ha ha

Mounted the Cooper STT's

I like them but think it would look better with some 35's stuffed under it, gonna try to give her a shake down this weekend

If you get off early, we should do the shakedown this afternoon.

You working from home today?

Indeed

This is why you need to use a relocation bracket or longer end links with LC coils

"Busted" a rear end link on mine and Drew's 10 min froadin trip (somehow just lost the top bushing?)

So I ghetto fab'd it with an old shock bushing till I can put the 2nd Gen endlinks on there.

did you do the sway bar relocation with the SS1.2 kit?

 

[Mauzer]

I don't have the SS1.2 kit, I just have all the parts that he uses...except the brackets cause he won't sell them seperate

 

[Mauzer]

So I tried to put back on my stock skid but quickly realized that with the diff drop installed it will no longer work w/o some modification. So Budbuilts will be ordered as soon as I have the extra cash (holidays are taking a toll on my mod $$). So then I was going to move the front sway bar end links to the rear since I busted a rear link last week, but the lower bolt on the front links was rusted bad, So I said screw it and went offroading...

I was extra careful since I had no skid and luckily didn't break anything, surprisingly my ghetto fabbed rear link (see above) held up!

 

[drew02a]

What kind of mods need to be done to the skid? Bring it on over

It just needs some of the inner bracing cut back, will do

 

[yotarob]

I cut Sams for him, same problem. If I recall all I did was notch the inner supports.

Yeah, Rob made quick work of mine. Fits just fine now.. Let me know if you need more detail, pics or whatever..

Yeah if you could post a pic of his handy work it would help...I was just going to use the trial and error approach
