I have the same rig with with long arms and a supercharged 3.4 swap. The 2nd gen is such an underrated truck!

[@treehouseoffroad]

Very underrated I agree

[@russman109]

More footage of your buddy’s 2nd gen, please and thanks very much 🙏😂❤️

[@ephraimyoung6720]

I’m 16 and I have a 2nd gen and I’m in the process of doing the 3.4 swap for mine and I’m definitely getting the total chaos kit for mine in the future but I was wondering what is best to do for the back. Did you convert it to a 4 link or something like that? I wanna make sure it’ll handle some woops and some minor crawling

[@tanner882]

Why r u crawling with a long arm kit?

Gotta do it man it completely transforms the vehicle!

[@brianfitz1604]

Awesome video guys! Really loving the detail oriented content so far! You mentioned that the kit uses T100 CV axles. How much stronger if at all are they than the stock shafts? Also what are the specs on the 4Runner? Still single case? What rear axle? Gears and Lockers?

[@michaelmagruder3728]

Thanks brother! As far as strength goes on the CV's, I haven't broken one yet, and they are just NAPAs since Toyota doesn't make them anymore. But they are holding up great so far! It's just a longer 4Runner CV, which is why they work for the kit. It's still got the single chain driven case and the stock rear axle. I regeared it to 5.29 and it has an Eaton Elocker in the rear with a front to match soon!

[@treehouseoffroad]

Thanks!

[@ClearWater7.62]

Love the video

[@FarOutYotas]

Awesome runner. I would love to see another video of this rig wheeling, maybe some information on what tire size you are running, maybe any issues with the kit, etc. Also, how does it handle on the road?? I am consodering this kit over doing a solid axle conversion because it is different and looks pretty capable. Any information is appreciated! Thanks!

[@treehouseoffroad]

He's running 35x12.5R15 Mickey Thompson Baja Pro's on Trail Ready beadlocks. So far no issues with the kit itself. Couple broken idler arms but he's since gone Total Chaos on that. Michael daily drives this thing and loves how it handles on the street

[@jalliel]

@@treehouseoffroad Did you have to clearance the front fenders or firewall to account for extra up travel?

[@elitemobileautoelectric7782]

I love how detailed y’all did this video and gave me an idea of how the hoops go before you weld. Supper clean set up. What was the cost of kit and shocks??

[@treehouseoffroad]

Thanks man I hope it helps. The kit is linked in the description and I think the shocks are around $1,500 a pair

@@treehouseoffroad can you post the part number for the coilovers you used? Thank you so much!

[@treehouseoffroad]

@@elitemobileautoelectric7782 The coilovers were spec'd by JD Fab and purchased with the kit, so you'll have to reach out to them

[@AB_Bahena]

Awesome video 👍🏼👍🏼. I have a 1991 4runner. What do you have for the rear suspension?

[@treehouseoffroad]

Right on man thank you! So many people are have been asking about the rear I listed the specs in the description

[@vladd5291]

Thank you for posting this! Thinking of doing this myself. What did you do for the rear axle to match the width?

[@treehouseoffroad]

He runs 2" spacers in the rear

[@wkkonrad]

Other than aesthetics, are there performance or safety reasons to match the width of the front axles?

[@treehouseoffroad]

I don't actually know the answer to that

[@yotainoregon6495]

Sick

[@user-jt8xw6fd1v]

Nice! Are those 33s or 35s? Also, is it possible to install an air diff locker in the front on these?

[@treehouseoffroad]

35's, and according to eastcoastgearsupply.com there are several lockers available for these trucks, one of which is an ARB air locker.

[@erickramos6013]

Great vid! After my 3.4 swap I’m going to buy the JD fab kit. What’s the specs on his front and rear wheels and what brand?

[@treehouseoffroad]

U.S. Wheel Style 78. 15x8, 6x5.5 lug pattern, 2.5 inch backspace. Discontinued and very hard to find

[@tj_offroad]

You guys gonna upgrade the brakes and lines? Awesome job on that install. I have a 3rd gen and didn't realize that the 2nd had TB's. Are you guys doing this for work now or just for youtube?

[@michaelmagruder3728]

Oh the kit actually comes with extended front brake lines but I had already installed extended brake lines front and rear before I got the kit. The brakes themselves are actually really good! I have no issue locking up 35s rn. And yes we've had our shop for just over a year. So far so good!

Did you guys do Chevy 63 on the back or did you keep coils and use spaces. Great video amazing work looks good

Hey buddy I forgot to ask you did you put bigger gears which I'm pretty sure you did but what size did you go up to on your Sequoia.. I went 4:88 can you grow any bigger than that?

[@treehouseoffroad]

I went with 5.29's. Lots of low end power

[@sqeekms6186]

@@treehouseoffroad when they built it they went with 4.88 I wish they would have put 5.29s I thought they didn't because 5.29s wouldn't fit. I'm going to have to ask him about that LOL

He never clarified that with me he just said he was going to see if he could go if they wouldn't fit he would do 4.88s but they have the power I need it crawls like a tank. I haven't really done too much challenging stuff yeah a little bit but I need to RCV axles and get skid row skid plates still.

[@sqeekms6186]

@@treehouseoffroad I think the one reason why it crawls like a tank and goes through everything I put it through like it's nothing is because of the front and rear lockers. I call that beast mode LOL
