Zak's Yota......This thing is cool and practical

I got this 92 4Runner. I've had it on the trail a couple times. I just put the 35" boggers off my samurai on it. It's a cool rig and I like it. Sure stays toasty warm inside!

I put a 2" ball joint spacer lift and new 2.5" Old Man Emu coils on the back of it. Did some trimming and stuffed the 35's under it. I get some rubbing at full lock with compression with 35/16/15 Boggers on it, but its tolerable. Going to try some 35x12.50's on it after the weekend. Thanks to Alex from 4WP and AJ99 from on here.

Anyway, here's a pic of the Yota. It'll be headed to the snow on Sunday. Hope everbody can make it!!!

Future plans are to mount the Warn XD9000i winch that I have, then possibly Desert Tan paint, then Straight Axle conversion with 5.29 gears eventually. Stinking deuce and a halfs take up all my rig building time, tools and money.

I'm planning to be finished with it tomorrow, aside from paint. It came along well. I tried a set of softer springs to help keep the rear end on the ground when going over bumps. Looking forward to the test drive tomorrow. Next is a 5-ton 6x6 on 53's with 1,000 ft/lbs of torque

Also.....got the winch mounted on the 4runner today....used a harbor freight winch plate, some angle iron and modification of the stock bumper. Peace of mind is good.

So, since gorman, I got some used 35's from AJ and alex from 4wp, a roof rack from Mikey, new steel wheels, added the winch I got from a guy named Josh (with my home-made mount), removed the rear bumper, modified the trailer hitch to hug the tailgate (and function as a step to access the roof rack) and built a snorkel out of PVC to prevent drowning it again like I did on rancheria road. It's come a long way in a few months. Keep in mind, I still have less than 3500 bucks in it, including the 1800 I paid for it. So here's a couple pics with the new mods.

Those were off the samurai. I needed them for snow.
