Toyota 4Runner 3 Link SAS

Changing out front and rear suspension on a stock 1993 Toyota 4Runner in 8 days.

[@joerouth6255]

Not sure if I miss understood video but if you pulled off this build inside of eight days that is impressive

[@billypettit7132]

Just found your videos, I’m currently building a 93 blue 4Runner, SAS 5.29 gears, arb air locked for the front, locked rear, stock 3.0 for now, just started the assembly yesterday still tons of work to do but watching your videos is giving me extra motivation to get it done so I can go play lol

[@pnwexplorer5343]

Get her done, it’s snow season! I ran the 3.0 for one season worked just fine. But I eventually swapped over to the 3.4 and it’s a world of a difference!

[@billypettit7132]

@@pnwexplorer5343 I have a donor 3.4 here that will eventually make its way in just trying to get it up and running again to enjoy it for a few before I sink more time and money into it lol

[@mikeh.753]

Now that is what I call front diff articulation. This is a very appearing vehicle. Great job and the owner and/or builder should feel proud to own and build a sweet SAS Toyota like this. Great job 👍 and keep on keep'n on. Absolutely a thing of beauty.

Nice build. cool for sure!

PNW Explorer, are you running Toyota High Steer on this 3 Link?

[@joeyd7865]

What 3 link kit did you use. 8 days? Dang that's quick. Good job

[@pnwexplorer5343]

Joey D No kit just pieced it together. Mostly trail gear hangers for the frame, ruff stuff for the axle side brackets and all ruffstuff heims.

[@jacobyota5128]

Awesome build! Was that up in Walker Valley?

[@pnwexplorer5343]

Nope

[@scottgilliland5015]

Awesome job

[@brianzuniga2788]

I linked both axles in a day what took you 8 days???

[@terrymick2479]

Just curious, why would you cut out the 4 link rear for leaf springs. Thx

[@pnwexplorer5343]

The rear was never designed for 4 link from factory. I chopped off the factory Chevy 1 ton width leaf perches and brought them in to fit within the toyota frame.

[@domwinning9075]

Whats the tire size on that? Im building a right hand drive surf atm with a 1.9TDI and landcruiser solid axles

[@pnwexplorer5343]

37

[@tonymontana6368]

Nice.

[@Sibshnaider4x4]

Отличный проект👍

[@CooRunner]

What length lower links are you running? 16” shocks?

[@pnwexplorer5343]

Yes

[@javiercastro6738]

I need to know what roof rack that is. Been looking for one like it. 👍🏽

[@carlosc8469]

Maybe it's a Yakima roof rack

[@jacksoncolby5936]

@@carlosc8469 its definitely a yakima but I wonder which attachment for it

What wheel and tire set up do you have

36x13.5x15

[@dawsonfolk6546]

I’ve got a couple question I’m cutting the ifs of my 86 runner

[@pnwexplorer5343]

Dawson Folk sure thing, what’s your question?

[@dawsonfolk6546]

Did you need to relocate your steering box how did you determine the height of the upper shock mount

[@pnwexplorer5343]

Dawson Folk steering box can be left in place if you are keeping the axle centered to where the original suspension sat under the frame. Shocks will have to be determined after you have most the suspension setup. Then you’ll have to measure for how much room you have to build a shock hoop and from there to determine what size of shock you want to run.

[@dawsonfolk6546]

PNW Explorer did you end up reinforcing your shock hoops at all. By that I mean a cross bar connecting the 2 hoops

[@pnwexplorer5343]

@@dawsonfolk6546 yes i did later after buying a tube bender, but i did run without for quite some time.

[@Eatadikcommiepig]

What 3link kit did you put in?

[@pnwexplorer5343]

Bastard pack. Combo between ruffstuff and trailgear.

[@thiccboyzgarage1585]

Is that the trail gear kit

[@pnwexplorer5343]

No just the frame side lower link and upper link bracket are trailgear. All other bracket and heims are ruffstuff

[@thiccboyzgarage1585]

Copy that just got a 4runner and im gonna 3 link the front also

[@scottmichael7178]

8 days huh, lol

[@joerouth6255]

I was thinking the same thing

[@fightthelies4349]

It's not that hard. Did a frame swap on mine in 5 days. Did a 3.4 swap in 9 hours but it was our 3rd swap together with my friend, so we were already in the zone. From running with the 3.0 to running with the 3.4 no prob.

[@thetoyotadude8388]

Nice build, horrible music…
