Well here is what your truck will look like after DMZ does their amazing work! It was great, exactly what I pictured! Nothing beats having an idea of what you want in your head, then someone makes it 100% happen!! Here we go, let me know what you think!!

If you want your truck to look like this:

The rear is next, stay tuned!

[VietNguyen82]

Looking awesome ryguy! what do you have planned for the rear?

[rufio]

you loaded fucking bastard. hats off:clap:

[gregers05]

damn dude i know that shit wasnt cheap at all. sweet looking truck though

[marnes2986]

Ryan everything looks bitchen!

Now romp on that truck! you shouldve stuck around longer so you could use the 4wd and rear bumper to pull someone out.

[JoeTaco]

that's pretty damn clean dude.

[AZNPG]

looks nice ryan so now i'm gonna see you around garden grove with a front bumper now haha

[AZNPG]

oh ryan lets wait to see what jeff says about your truck haha

[yota4lyfe]

Truck has come along way. Lets see those sliders get some use.:cool:

[kamaaina1]

Your SICK!!!! :D

[ryguy]

HAHA.. 1 Thing, Im definately not rich.. Its called saving your money, and wining at game shows!! LOL Jeff loves me, he better rip on my truck! LOL!
We all know we are just trying to copy his truck, he has the bad ass ones, we are all just a bunch of copy cats! haha

Rear: just some springs and shocks, thats all..

[Bmiller7]

Seeing you rig was an inspiration to finish mine..

I'm goin bedsides..and like I said..LT by next summer..

[06HAOLE]

Looks good Ryan. I remember when you were going to race that thing. Ive learned a lot watching everybody's buildups and your build turned out well in the end. Many people will work to make theirs like it.

[ryguy]

well now things have changed allittle. This is going to be chase truck, I found a salvaged truck to turn it into a race truck.. So we will see..

[ocherp]

looks good ryan, i'll hit you up when i'm in socal in august

[HoeRunner]

Wow Ryan your truck has come a long way. Its been awesome seeing the build of your truck. Maybe Tim will do group discounts for the rear for yours, mine and Jeffs.

[ocdropzone]

Hey Ryan: looks great and functions just as well as it looks!! How come you forgot the build pictures of the 1st couple of versions of your truck??:D

Enjoy that thing!!!

[Happysmiley]

Super sweet:kewl:
Hey whats with the custom job on the back of your bedsides? Did glassworks build em like that or did u take a pair of bumper caps and have em glassed in and smoothed out. Looks so clean like that. I asked Tim at glassworks when I bought mine if they could do somewhat the same thing and he said nope...

[BRUUUP]

You forgot the "change every part at least twice" step.

[Bala de Plata]

Ry, did tim at GlassWorks do the custom rear glass? Are they the normal ones trimmed or ?

Reason I ask is that Im getting road blocked on glass for my fenders. Went direct to Tim at Glassworks and he says no for making me a set for my 4runner. F**king pissin me off!!!

Who would have thought the glass would be the hardest thing to get!? :banghead:

venting, back to the regular programing.

[ryguy]

ya.. well I did a deal with TIM to do that for me.. They are normal glass just customed done. They are glassed in Bumper caps, but smoothed out so you cant really tell. Since I dont have a bumper like anyone else's so I wanted a custom built one.. Tim should help out with this. Ill call him and see whats up for everyone ok??

And for the record!! DONT BE LIKE ME AND CHANGE YOUR MIND 20 TIMES, IT WILL COST YOU MORE IN THE END! LOL

Marnes: Next time Ill stick around when I dont make promises to the wife! Pulling out is easy! lol!! hahah

[Bala de Plata]

That would be appreciated.

Although I just got of the phone with Jason at Fiberwerx and he is very willing to do a custom job so he can have a mold. Someone has to be the first I guess :rolleyes:

[marnes2986]

Truck has come along way. Lets see those sliders get some use.:cool:

Wow thats it????? :lmao: nothing bad to say :lmao:

HAHA.. 1 Thing, Im definately not rich.. Its called saving your money, and wining at game shows!! LOL Jeff loves me, he better rip on my truck! LOL!
We all know we are just trying to copy his truck, he has the bad ass ones, we are all just a bunch of copy cats! haha
..

haha im the one who has the same truck as jeff! but i was checking out jeffs truck on sunday and damn that thing is clean! mine will never look as good as his :( hahahhaa lol

[marnes2986]

That would be appreciated.

Although I just got of the phone with Jason at Fiberwerx and he is very willing to do a custom job so he can have a mold. Someone has to be the first I guess :rolleyes:

c'mon rory get a buildup thread going :D

[Bala de Plata]

Haha!

Ok, I'll stop poopin on Ryguy's thread.

But I wont be doing a build thread, and I have sworn Mr. Florent to secrecy.

Not posting any pics til its finished either. Sorry boys :D

[Happysmiley]

Wonder who's building Rory's runner up:D (edit, oh you beat me to it, ok super top secret)
Mark you don't return my calls anymore :xcrybaby: it's over I've found somebody else LOL!
Hey reason i was asking bout your alignment is the eccentric cam tabs on the lower arm are pretty weak, I know Ryan just got his all gusseted and my driver side ones are so bad (bent flat) I'm gonna just cut off the whole mounting tab and make new ones. Anyway check em out, I guess anybody who's got LT on a new taco should, maybe even those running da hoes'

[Kamr0n]

seriously bro, where do you get the money?

[ryguy]

That would be appreciated.

Although I just got of the phone with Jason at Fiberwerx and he is very willing to do a custom job so he can have a mold. Someone has to be the first I guess :rolleyes:

Haha.. Fiberwerx is great.. but keep in mind of costs.. He needs someone for a mold, but how many LT trucks are there of 4 runners? not knocking ya ;) just keep in mind that his costs might be high.. coolio? That is why Tim probably wont do it, he is concerned about how many units he can sell. The tacoma and fj are hot right now. So he is going to invest alot into it. Its just like the ranger and explorer. Ranger huge, explorer, almost non existant. Anyways.. hope this helps.

100% watch your alignment tabs everyone! If not torqued down 150lb's you will ruin everything!! Make sure you keep a close eye on them!!

[ryguy]

seriously bro, where do you get the money?

I kill for it..

[Happysmiley]

After everyone see's how Rory's 4-runner turns out they will be LT'ing theirs. There's a lot of 4x4 4-runners who would love to go LT for a multipurpose trail rig. 1st TC LT kit was on the green 4-runner.

http://www.chaosedition.com/

[ryguy]

oh its not that.. I love his.. In fact, I think his rides all around better. Its the people that buy 4runners, are they going to LT them? Now rory, dont read too far into this, but the demographics of people purchasing trucks and suv's depends on what people are going to spend money on right? Again lets use the Ranger/explorer for example. How many rangers LT's/ to Explorer LT's?? Same with f150 and expidition, Chevy LT trucks/Tahoe LT, etc... You know what I mean.. Its just the costs for the 4runner are high, no one wants to hack one up for LT sake. Now there are the few that have the dream, but manufactures are going to make products for the majority of people. You will get the guys that will custom things out, it will just cost alot more money.

To some light on all of this.. If fiberwerx is gonna do it, jump all over it!! I would love to have a 1 peice hood ;) Infact rory, if you can talk to them about making fiberglass hoods, Ill buy one!

[Bala de Plata]

Thats right, thanks for pointing it out Ryguy.

YOUR ALL A BUNCH OF BROKE SHEEP!!!!!

[Bala de Plata]

Hahaha, seriously that was a joke. And if you know me, then you know. And if you dont, oh well.

But yes, completely agreed Ryguy. My rig is not for the majority. The majority of 4runers are driven by soccer moms doing the mall cruise or what have you. But Happy was the first one to point out when I was on a toyota lot the potential of a 4runner over tacoma as I was discussing the details with the salesman for a tacoma.

For me it fits, and I was willing to accept the challenge and costs. There are however the few and dedicated as myself. Theres a little forum over on a place called toyota4runner.org

My rig alone has over 12000 hits on one thread alone. Plus, there are the fewer and more dedicated on 120. They will follow, and with Happy's help. I will lead the way. Many thanks go to Lance who owned the chaos edition and was the succesor to all the new gen taco TC kits.

This is where I will take up where he left off and go to another level :D

[HoeRunner]

So your calling me a soccer mom, Im driving your exact Runner except for the lift and it hauls ass.

[Happysmiley]

Your pretty much right on Ryan as far as high production numbers. It's a shame though cause these 4-runners are so well built. Solid fully boxed frames, nice rigid bodies, available V8, same front a-arm geometry as tacomas and fj's for bolt on kits... it's a crime I tell you seeing these things all droop nosed stock driving around looking like minivans.

[Happysmiley]

Some serious thread jacking going on here Ryan:rolleyes: sorry sir:p Yeah your truck looks good!!! now huck that thang...
back on track...

[Bala de Plata]

So your calling me a soccer mom, Im driving your exact Runner except for the lift and it hauls ass.


It certainly does!!

and do you have 3 kids that you take to soccer practice :confused:

cause if you did, then yes I am! :p

and sorry for the hi jack there buddy!!

[AllJumpStyle]

x2 on hucking it, let's see what it can handle!

[ryguy]

haha.. Dont give all the credit to happy, look on a couple posts before, I already said yours will out perform. Its cool cause of the uni body construction rather than the bolt the cab on the rails like all us tacomas. There is stregnth in that design! Just keep in mind like I said and you agreed, dumb people are going to put out kits made for the masses, and not realize that something might be better, only make kits cause everyone in that demographics is going a certain way. Again rory, go to fiberwerx, those guys are great! also get them to do a fiber glass hood for us too!!


Happy: ya dont jack my thread! LOL this is my buildup! lol!!

[AllJumpStyle]

Perhaps you should line up with Dan Vance at the Pismo trip coming up... :D

[Bala de Plata]

sorry ryguy, just have to correct you.

not a unibody, bolted just like the rest of you. but to a fully boxed stock frame :D

and I know there is not a market, dont care.

carry on!

[ryguy]

ok.. now lets get back to my rig ;) haha

[Kamr0n]

ok.. now lets get back to my rig ;) haha

saw it in person... and i didnt like the 05+ tacos till now.

i want to scrap my 99 and start over.

[ryguy]

haha you got to win game shows! that helps!! Thanks for the kind words kamron

[Kamr0n]

haha you got to win game shows! that helps!! Thanks for the kind words kamron

problem is... im in too far, even if i parted out what i have, i coudln't get a pre taco 4x with LT...

and its all about 4x4 and long travel. i don't really see a point to doing it any other way.

[marnes2986]

Wonder who's building Rory's runner up:D (edit, oh you beat me to it, ok super top secret)

Ive been meaning to call you lately, but every free time ive got ive been posting on all the forums trying to sell my shit! hahaha i need to pay off the credit cards. After the check went through ive got 100 bucks left in my account hahahaha :lmao: well worth it though!

problem is... im in too far, even if i parted out what i have, i coudln't get a pre taco 4x with LT...

and its all about 4x4 and long travel. i don't really see a point to doing it any other way.

The dented rocker panels gives it character, at least when a sicky bro truck pulls up next to you, you know and they know that your truck will kick their trucks ass! ahahaa



Bitchin truck RYAN

[OneMnk]

Seeing ryguy's taco the other in person made me appreciate LT that much more. The craftsmanship and just the way it looks after it is done is amazing. Can't wait till mine gets started.

[ryguy]

again its more thanks to DMZ than anything. He makes it look great. BTW, One, Ill give you your $20 later for the props ;) lol hahahaha.

[OneMnk]

haha. valet is good money sometimes. but it pays to work for the police department to

[ryguy]

going into the police dept?? You should come out shooting with us!

[BajaRnnr]

haha. valet is good money sometimes. but it pays to work for the police department to

its a long process to get hired can take years sometimes. can be frustrating and discouraging at times, but it is worth it in the end when you get picked up.

[silver04rs]

Some serious thread jacking going on here Ryan:rolleyes: sorry sir:p Yeah your truck looks good!!! now huck that thang...
back on track...


found a pic of him huckin his truck... just not very high

http://a304.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/91/l_fb6fe8bd3259877dc0046b1bcd86970f.jpg





Oh wait...... thats my shit box

Travis

[menacekustoms]

http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m89/MenaceKustoms/DSC02248.jpg

Your truck got higher than that!

[ryguy]

A little update.. Well my truck has been in R&D phase at DMZ! Here is some pre-lim pics of the amount of rear travel on the LT spring kit DMZ will sell!! For now it will be a standard LT kit.. After a little more engineering, he will have 3 kits depending on how big you want to go! Here is some quick pics:

Slammed:7-9" of up travel:
http://www.dmzfab.com/images/CIMG0091.JPG

Drooped: 10-13" down travel:
http://www.dmzfab.com/images/CIMG0090.JPG

More info can be found here:
http://www.dmzfab.com/Ryan_Macintoshs_tacoma.html

[Bmiller7]

AH!! I like it..lots and lots of travel..

[ryguy]

wait to see what else is gonna happen! Your gonna crap your pants!!

[06HAOLE]

This thing never stops getting work. Its cool to see the progression from when you got it to now.

[AZNPG]

looks good ryan

[Tweeter]

It took that long to put 62's on? :confused:

[ryguy]

its more than just "putting 62's like you say" Your just not seeing all the things that is happening. Why hate?? Yours is better and can take mine. I just want to keep up is that ok?

[ryguy]

This thing never stops getting work. Its cool to see the progression from when you got it to now.

I guess I would say thanks.. Its always a work in progress.

[marnes2986]

Nice Ryan!

Git-er-DOne!

[ryguy]

working on it.. so how much travel is normal for the 62's?? Just wondering.

[AZNPG]

normal is 18 but i know jerry(mdr 1482) is pulling 20 strapped and bumped

[ryguy]

nice.. ya strapped and bumped is great!

[rufio]

How much for that front bump, skid, and lights combo?

[menacekustoms]

What is limiting your uptravel to only 7-8"? It seems to me, if it's bottomed out at 7-8" then when you factor in bumpstops and such, your only talking around 5" of uptravel, and that's not a whole lot. Down travel looks awesome, but you need decent uptravel too. Am I right, or am I way out of whack here?

[menacekustoms]

Oh, and do we get any pictures of the rear hangar set up yet, or do we have to wait? I'm curious to see how that turned out.

[ryguy]

How much for that front bump, skid, and lights combo?

front bump skid and lights?? Call DMZfab.com Talk to Tim. He will get you great pricing.. Depends on what you want depends on price.

[ryguy]

Down travel looks awesome, but you need decent uptravel too. Am I right, or am I way out of whack here?

Well its 7-8 till it hits the bumps.. then another 2-3 with the bumps involved.. Im getting a total of 18+ inches or so of travel.. even with keeping my truck as low as possible.

[ryguy]

Oh, and do we get any pictures of the rear hangar set up yet, or do we have to wait? I'm curious to see how that turned out.

Youll have to wait.. Its top secret stuff. It allows the springs to be parallel vs offset. The frame actually inst parallel all the way to the back. The frame actually tapers as it goes back.. anyways.. Shortly you'll see a whole build up and a bunch of pics showing shackles etc..

[06HAOLE]

Youll have to wait.. Its top secret stuff.

Top secret squirel shit.:rolleyes:

[AZNPG]

ehh i'll just head up to dmz to spy on your truck ryan

[ryguy]

good luck.. lol

[AZNPG]

damnit ryan just for that i'll have to go up there tomorrow

[marnes2986]

haha if you go down there and take pics he wont let you leave!

Ryan did you get that rear bump sold yet?

[brock]

looks good, ive been there weekly checking it out lol. too bad i wont be able to afford it for a while now.

[ryguy]

haha if you go down there and take pics he wont let you leave!

Ryan did you get that rear bump sold yet?

Yeup I sure did.. But I have some tires for sale now! Want them??

[yota4lyfe]

wait to see what else is gonna happen! Your gonna crap your pants!!More like laugh my pants off and say why? All I ever see that truck do is go down the 91 freeway.:eek:

[AZNPG]

More like laugh my pants off and say why? All I ever see that truck do is go down the 91 freeway.:eek:


:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[ryguy]

ya ya ya.. its all good :) hahaha,

[brock]

Yeup I sure did.. But I have some tires for sale now! Want them??

what size are they?

[ryguy]

they are 315 70 17 measures out about 34" and some.. call me brock.. Im selling them cheap. I need a bigger tire.

[Tweeter]

its more than just "putting 62's like you say" Your just not seeing all the things that is happening. Why hate?? Yours is better and can take mine. I just want to keep up is that ok?

Um, yeah cause it's your truck and this is a free country :p I was hoping to figure out why else your truck would be gone for months and all you have pictures of is 62's.

[brock]

they are 315 70 17 measures out about 34" and some.. call me brock.. Im selling them cheap. I need a bigger tire.

awww i thought u were gonna say "they're almost 36s"

[OneMnk]

ryan. I'll take them off your hands for free. Just let me know. I'll do you the favor :)

[AZNPG]

awww i thought u were gonna say "they're almost 36s"



haha i remember that

[ryguy]

Um, yeah cause it's your truck and this is a free country :p I was hoping to figure out why else your truck would be gone for months and all you have pictures of is 62's.

actually its only what I want to show you. Btw, did you sell your truck yet?

[Happysmiley]

Nice Ryan, I want to see better pics too, I'm curious how Tim is doing the shackles, the frame sure makes it a PITA lol.

[yota4lyfe]

I need a bigger tire.
I hope for the rear only because the front still rubs like a mutha. Just get a bracket lift for the front with your LT and slap some 40 inch gumbos on that joint.:eek:

[ryguy]

I hope for the rear only because the front still rubs like a mutha. Just get a bracket lift for the front with your LT and slap some 40 inch gumbos on that joint.:eek:

or just more cutting right??

[AZNPG]

just cut the front end off and run a 1-piece that will probally clear the tires haha. or just install te bigger tires and they will self clear after acouple of bottoming out thats how mine is

[yota4lyfe]

or just more cutting right??Nah, ditch the front axle and run some Allied Spindles. Then you can run 37s all day:rolleyes:

[silver04rs]

Nah, ditch the front axle and run some Allied Spindles. Then you can run 37s all day:rolleyes:


Smart man

[ryguy]

no way.. how about I just get a different truck to do this with??

[silver04rs]

no way.. how about I just get a different truck to do this with??

Nah... I went by DMZ today to check out your rig... and all I can say is that im super jeallous. That thing is looking so fucking good. I cant wait to see it done.... now do you already have 6 wheels/ tire??? Or is that just for future plans?

[ryguy]

haha thanks.. You actually have seen more than I have.. What has tim done to it? Anyways.. You can be next in line for his kit. He is putting together a kit to sell so you can do it your self if you want to. I have 6 tires and wheels too. Im running 2 vert spares of the rear. For right now, I told tim to go wild on what ever he wants, so for future plans it depends on what he wants to do.. lol

[silver04rs]

It looks good, bitchin hangers, shackles and front mounts are all bad ass. off set out side the frame. Frame is almost done being boxed in, and the beds cut for teh vert mounts. He said he wants to knock out 5 or 6 trucks before he puts a kit out

We were chattin about puttin lights on your roof... think we came up with a good plan... said he might sketch something up for you... LOL

[ryguy]

cool thanks bud!!! Thanks for the update!! lol.. Its all good. So you gonna get your truck in there??

[silver04rs]

cool thanks bud!!! Thanks for the update!! lol.. Its all good. So you gonna get your truck in there??

Not any time soon, Im happy with where its at rite now and I just spent way to much money on a new bike.... Im actually still thinking of selling my rig and buying a new Tundra to leave stock just to haul my bike around... and maybe a toy hauler to go with it :)

My new bike->

Not any time soon, Im happy with where its at rite now and I just spent way to much money on a new bike.... Im actually still thinking of selling my rig and buying a new Tundra to leave stock just to haul my bike around... and maybe a toy hauler to go with it :)

My new bike->

And ya.... those are Marchesini Forged wheels on a dirt bike

Travis
Ive seen Marchesini Forged wheels only once in person. Very nice. I miss my GSXR.

[AZNPG]

goddamn nice bike travis

[AllJumpStyle]

Now if only that thing was street legal... Nice bike! My buddy got a set of those Black Marchesini's on his WR450, very very nice wheels.

[ryguy]

funny about hijacking threads... lol.. I love the bike, but how does this fit into my buildup? lol!!

[AllJumpStyle]

Umm, you need a supermoto daily driver while your truck is getting worked on? Lol. I want one, how about that new Yamaha WR250X? :D

[ryguy]

lol.. I have a retal car for now.. why you wanna loan me somtehing? lol

[silver04rs]

Umm, you need a supermoto daily driver while your truck is getting worked on? Lol. I want one, how about that new Yamaha WR250X? :D


Hijack!

Ive seen the new WR250X SM nike... not really impressed. I have a 07 KTM 525 EXC that I made a SM bike, that thing is way too much fun

[AllJumpStyle]

Hijack again! Lol. I'm not a huge fan of KTM's, but it seems you hardly have a choice if you want a street legal supermoto. My buddy has a 525 SMR and that thing rips!

[ryguy]

thanks guys ...:lmao:

[brock]

stopped by dmz today and DAMN your truck looks good bro. Really jealous over here.

[ryguy]

haha.. thanks.. Im going to dmz finally tomorrow to check things out. I hear it looks great.

[menacekustoms]

Yeah, the fab work looks awesome. Frame plating, shackle hanger are sick, but those tires are too damn big!

[brock]

dude, the tread on those tires is nuts... lol

[menacekustoms]

Those new BFG muds are cool, I like the design. But Ryan isn't a mud bogger. Hell, he didn't even really take his truck out before, so I guess its no different. So, nevermind.

[ryguy]

haha.. we will see.. I have 8 bfg baja's sitting in my garage.. Just dont want to break those out yet. The new bfg's are perfect.. I dont like to push my truck when it isnt ready, ie jumping etc.. When its done, we will have fun. I just went to dmz and saw the bed cage.. Fricken incredible!

[Happysmiley]

Let's see some pictures already
:worthless

[tacosupreme]

at least update the DMZ page. I wanna see what they did for hangers.

[AZNPG]

Let's see some pictures already
:worthless

[ryguy]

haha.. its up to Tim.. He has the bed cage tacked in.. so its coming along. Ill see if I can squeeze pics out. But it might be when it is all done. Possibly dec 15th trip?? lol

[silver04rs]

I have to drive up past DMZ on tuesday... If I have time... and if Tim lets me Ill swing by and snap a few shots of RY RY's taco

[marnes2986]

Went to DMZ, stayed a lil while just to check out Ryans truck.

Wow, it really looks amazing. Tim really is taking his time with it cause he wants it to be flawless. Im not a fabricator but Tim let me in on some strenghthening secrets for ryans build, im not gonna say anything...ill let ryan explain when its all done. But damn you cant judge a book by its cover, im sure Tim added alot more trick stuff to the cage (some that are hidden) that he didnt tell me about. I cant wait to see the pictures when its all done.

:cool:

[ryguy]

well Tim sent me pics via Message by phone.. WOW.. I dont know what to say.. its amazing.. Like you said Marnes, this build is gonna be so great! I cant wait till its done.. Rear first then to the front.. lol.

When I was there he was showing me some cool stuff then too with plating and frame tie in points. Very cool stuff. "Git-r-done for the December run"! Hey, that's catchy. We should all use that for motivation! lol!

[ryguy]

haha.. Nice.. its gonna be a great build. i cant wait to get it. you guys have all seen it and I have not. lol Oh well. Now Im excited, its like a christmas present!!

[OneMnk]

Wait a sec. What else are you getting done again? Rear cage setup?

[silver04rs]

well Tim sent me pics via Message by phone.. WOW.. I dont know what to say.. its amazing.. Like you said Marnes, this build is gonna be so great! I cant wait till its done.. Rear first then to the front.. lol.

So does this mean your gunna man up and start cutting your firewall so you can get some steering angle at bump?

and you should cage it since your going to have the dash out anyways

[ryguy]

a little thanksgiving update.. Hope you guys like! more of course to come!

Good luck out there. Let me know if you need me to do an intake swap from your truck.;)

[menacekustoms]

Well, I have proof, it does exist, and it does work. Borck will have to share his pictures of it mid-air. I only had the crappy camera, so it doen't do motion as well.

menacekustoms thanks for the pics.. It was good seeing you out there.. Did you get home ok after that steering column?? Man I feel for you!!

[marnes2986]

[liftedtacoma]

i want some good brakes..and your truck..haha...still...

[AZNPG]

looks nice ryan ur driving that truck around garden grove anymore haha

[Gallium]

So DMZ's coming out with shackle mounts?
I hope so.

[ryguy]

ok..
racirx: remember working smarter not harder is the way to go.. Dont rob a bank, or else youll never get the truck you wanted.

liftedtacoma: Sure.. if the price is right!! Brakes are now amazing!! It stops on a dime!

AZNPG: Sure I will.. Why not?? I just wont stop anywhere.. lol

Gallium: Yes.. There are things about the 05+ that you have to have custom shackles this way.. Let me explain. The frame tapers in.. If you ran just the same geometry as the 04's and under like with the shackles etc.. from TC your springs will sit duck footed. Therefore IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET THE TRAVEL THAT IS NEEDED!! Your springs will bind with the 62" LT setup. So... You need custom mounting in order to keep this setup complete. I rode in the Richer Racing truck and it was nice.. Not setup as good as DMZ did for me, but it depends on if you want to maximize your complete travel. Anyways.. Hope this helps.. If I had a extra cab like Chaz's, the ride would be even better.. He just cant take 4 people in his truck lol..

[liftedtacoma]

so where did you get the brakes?? you said if you want good brakes to let you know

[Gallium]

Are those after market pads on a stock drum?? if so what brand?

[yota4lyfe]

liftedtacoma: Sure.. if the price is right!! Brakes are now amazing!! It stops on a dime!

If I had a extra cab like Chaz's, the ride would be even better.. He just cant take 4 people in his truck lol..

So how much stopping distance did you gain with those bling rotors?

Chaz can fit like 7 dudes from garden grove in his ride, whacha talkin about willis? Are you sayin the USS RYGUY is too long?
:eek:

[ryguy]

Well here is all the info for the brakes.. These are off the hook and very very cheap:

i love this... looks great!

any more updates?

[Mtn. Prerunner]

LCE also has a set of slotted and drilled rotors price is not bad at all and from what I remember they use factory rotors but not 100% on that. I am not sure if they have them for the 05 + yet though and the cost on them is not bad i think mine were like 60 ea.

Your truck is bad arse I wish I was a bit closer so I could have made some of the meets oh well soon I suppose. Tim does some great work.

[ryguy]

I wanted someone local though..

Thanks for all the support. Well all but 1 person.. lol My truck still isnt good enough for him. hahaha

[brock]

now u definately gotta valve that rearend because witht he weight back there its gonna bottom out way faster than it was before.

[ryguy]

i know..

[06HAOLE]

Looks really good Ryan.

Have you already reinforced the coil bucket and secondary shock mount? I want to see closeups of that.

Are you runnning a bumpstop up front or just a coilover and bypass?

You should post some closeups of all the fab work on your truck. The exterior is bad ass but the details is what Im looking for.

[AZNPG]

i think ryan is only running coilovers and by-pass up front.

ryan i know that one person that doesn't like your truck haha

[06HAOLE]

I know you have a good camera Ryan.

So your running a coilover and bypass w/no custom bumps? I figured you would have had some fabbed up.

So you havent reinforced the coilbucket at all? No need?

Thanks man.

[sooner02r1]

Dude, I told another guy that his taco was the coolest one, but I lied :) . Your rig is BAD. I love the long bed (that's what I have haha). That rear end setup is incredible. Nice work :xrocker:

sorry.. not gonna take off my wheel again for another pic.. lol. No bumps.. Not really needed.. Only 13" of travel total..Plus not really any room for a bump either.

The coil bucket is sorta reinforced, with shock hoop.. gonna do a re-inforced engine cage..

I love how low it sits, time to drop the front as well

Now we want pics of it flying!!!!!

There's room. You just have to want it enough.. and start cutting. Air2Air's FJ has what appears to be the same setup (didn't look at your parts specs) and Demello fit a air bump in there.

[ryguy]

hmm.. really??? This is sounding good.. I want it enough.. start cutting is inevitable.. Let me check out Air2Air's setup.. you got a link? Its not coming up.

[marnes2986]

i believe its the same mounting point where the Donahoe FJ put their bump/\. Ask HappySmiley where the exact location is, he knows cause he has the Dirt Sports mag that featured Dhoe's FJ

[tacosupreme]

Here's a link to his build- http://www.fjcruiserforums.com/forums/member-build-ups/39482-air2airs-buildup-summary.html
