Drew02a 1991 4Runner, Long Travel Build

[drew02a]

Finished reinstalling the rear passenger window motor. I ended up having to pull out the the glass too so I could remount the metal and rubber that holds it to the window mechanism. What a PITA. Couldn't have done it without help from Brian.

The cheap fix worked great and the window rolls down almost all the way; about 2" sticking out when it's all the way down.

Looking good man. Any pics of the KM2's mounted up?

Here's what I got. I think they look good, not the best pic though. My only issue with them is that they're well inside the front fender. LT will fix that and it will look perfect.

Thanks man. Can't wait to get it to a meet.

Looking good Drew. The Taco wheels & tires look much better.

How about those Spidertrax spacers?

I'm pretty sure they won't clear the automatic hubs, but I may give it a try.

I saw the Runner in person yesterday and it's in great shape, looks way better with the 255's

After looking at pics of other people 2nd gen 4runners, I realized that I could probably just unbolt the gay chrome trim on the fenders flares... done

I'm gonna see about getting some plastic ones to replace them. But even if I don't, it looks better without the chrome.

^^^good idea. Either you remove it now or im sure the trail will do it for you later.

Indeed, plus I'm trying to get rid of all the chrome. I don't know if I want to leave the fenders naked though. They're usually the first thing to scrape.

Just pull them off, scuff them up with a Scotchbright pad, paint them black and reinstall.

I've thinking about putting a flapper wheel on the grinder and taking the chrome off of the Front and Rear bumpers so I can paint them black. Maybe I'll do the same to these chrome fender flares.

Good idea, I hate my Crome rear bumper.

Paint it up it's pretty easy, I did that to the one I got from drew and was gonna do that to the chrome one I had that is now on his taco

Leave them off you don't need the tire coverage with those skinney tires. If you really get into something other than other than brush then they won't do any good saving the sheet metal. This is why I don't like the skinney tires I like them to stick out past the fenders so that they contact first rather than the fender.

True, I don't think they'll offer much protection. The tires should stick out past the fenders a little by the time everything is done.
