Well might as well fit some trail Creeper gears while I am finishing the $Runner :D It will save me having to pull the t/case out again latter when I can afford them :armsup:

This is the current state of the $runner, still allot to do but it is getting there. Spend too much money so far so getting ...

Well done hylux.

And Thanks to Trail Gear for the competition.


Chris.

I am running a inject 304 - VQ. I am running standard manifold and front y pipe. I have a old HQ (I think) sump, which has a rear pick up. The y-pipe had to be tweaked to fit. It runs between gearbox and rear pickup sump.

Is that what you want? I can try get pics on the weekend. What pics do you ...

From memory you have to remove the entire sliding window. Once the window is removed you can access the nuts that hold the window surrounds on.

The windows are held in with some sort of silicon, can't remember the name of it. I remember the guy that removed my windows used heavy gauge fishing line ...

Build it as a truggy with bits you can use at a later stage on a buggy. Drive it as a truggy, smash it up then build a buggy with the good bits.

This is what I have been thinking. I will eventually get into a buggy and a lot of the gear I have in the 4runner could be put into a buggy.

I have had ...

I love extreme rock crawling wave .. but just think also I love drive my rig, you can go hard core .. and play in a " sand box " it's just only for your fun ..

Did you are married .. are you thinking in share your fun with your wifef and childs .. ?

A streed legal rig could be a fun for your ...

Can you afford a Tow Rig?
Can you afford a Car Trailer?
Can you afford the rego for the above?
Do you have room to store a buggy/truggy, tow rig and a Car trailer?
Do all your wheelin spots have a place to put your car trailer and tow rig while your out playing?
Once its all done will you be ...

I have been trying to rebuild my chopped 4runner to be fully road legal. It will have a rear 4-link suspension with coil-overs. For this to happen in WA I need pre-approval (which I have), engineered and then lane change and brake tests to get it legal. So a bit of work and cost is involved. Now I ...

This is what happens when the steering breaks :cry: luckily no one was not really hurt after 4 rolls we were very lucky.

So I don't want this to happen again. I am currently rebuilding it and my wife is already hassling me about ...

nastytroll wrote:the bolt hole would be 14.5mm if thats whal you mean

Yep thanks for the info

Chris.

if using std bushes they are a rubber bush with a sleave vulcanized (spelling?) in the middle for the bolt, they use a 14mm bolt and no spacers or washers on the bush, just clamped in the bracket.

yep that's it.

So with a 14mm bolt it has a small amount of play, maybe 0.5 - 1mm. Is that correct ...

I am using standard rear trailing arm GQ/GU Suspension Bushes for my 4 link suspension. I am a few question:

What bolt size is needed for this rubber bush?

Is there any sleeve used between the bush and the bolt?

Does the standard patrol suspension use a washer/spacer between the bush and the ...

So what was the final placings?

Just 16" coil overs with double tirangled 4-link for the rear. I have jeep wagoneer (rs44044) springs in the front.

I would like coil-overs for the front, but we will see.

Chris.

Thought you were competing Christian

Yea things did not come together. The 4-link did not get finished and I got sent the wrong coil-overs from the US.

So I had to pull out.

A bit disapointed but now I have more time so get it right and learn how it handles. If I was competing then the fist ...

Anyone got a spare seat that I can grab a lift for Saturday?

Chris

If I was you I would contact the licencing department in welshpool and speak to the appropriate person.

Chris
how did you go with yours in the end Chris, I remember a large thread you had while back saying you were going thru hell to get shit sorted out..

You all legal and engineered yet?

The ...

Thanks for the info cbr. Is the above true about tyres? i.e. you need to apply for tyre size increases???

No BL for me - chop, chop, chop... ;)

You need to apply for tyre size increase. From the document I have (draft format) it states:

An Overall tyre diameter increase of more then 25mm will ...

WA use a version of NCOP from what I can tell. I have a draft version that I must adrear to for my mods.

Anything over 2" needs a lane change test. This is the combination of tyres, suspension and BL. Tyres can be increaes by 50mm over the largest option for the vehicle.

In WA you first need to ...

ok, got a old bush and the part number is imprinted on the rubber - 55045-06j00

I know the gq bushes are expensive but I think they are the best compromise between flex and durability.

Chris.

Does anyone know the part number for a genuine GQ trailing arm bushes?

I think they are 55045-06j00, but I want confirmation that these are the correct bushes to use?

I am making a 4 link for the 4runner and want to use standard rubber bushes in the links.

Thanks
Chris.

Here are some pics of the V6 conversion

The only way to get good flex out of a toyota rear end is to use longer springs and lower spring rates. But if you do this you will need to run a track bar to stop axle wrap.

Here are some links to long rear conversions. These are USA based springs but you should be able to use the same principles ...
