@carlover That is one magnificent piece of junk! Those Lexus SUV's are legendary. I've seen a lot of them, but I never knew you could get prerunner fenders for them. Great work there, I know it puts a smile on your face every time you get behind the wheel!
Some day, I might build a long-travel Explorer... ha ha.
If I may be so bold, what is the difference between your front track width and your rear track width?
I love the thing so far. And i got it before the prices got crazy which is good.These are pretty great. You get that capability of a 4Runner, and the Luxury of a Lexus. A lot of people are picking these up to build them.
No way lol, those days are done for me. i want something quiet and comfortable but very capable and this fits everything.so this is going the same way as the X now?
Thank you sir, its coming together nicely. Need to figure out more travel in the rear but for now it works well and is very comfy and reliable.Well done!! I love it
Rear is actually a coil spring link setup. So its somewhat limited. But if i can get 14 to 14.5 inches of usable wheel travel i can dial in the shocks and itll work well@carlover Sheesh, and I thought my 3 inches wider in the front was outlandish. Envy envy!
It's got rear leaf springs, right? Longer springs and longer shackles are always an option! Modifying or replacing the brackets seems like you could pretty much put whatever leaf/shackle combo you wanted.
Been out a few times, barstow, big bear, and lytle creek and it works pretty well.so when are you going to barstow to test this stuff out (or elsewhere barstow is just the first one that comes to mind, and its still somewhat close since youre in fontana)
