    just here to get the best suggestions out of members and share my opinions too other than that hope everyone's builds/future builds get done without to much headache

    With that being said I'm trying to do a 4Runner slammed or drop. I've read "Dcups" forum a lil I'll keep you guys posted
    Bought this 94 pickup for cheap blown head in the process of rebuilding it sent the heads to get worked a lil should have it back tonight and hopefully running by early morning then the hunt for a 4Runner body begins or should i buy suspension parts first

    So you're putting a 4runner body on a truck's chassis? Is this the correct way to do this for a drop 4runner? Wondering why not just drop the 4runner chassis instead of dealing with body mounts and gas tank location on a truck's chassis? Or is it to take advantage of the 2wd front suspension setup vs 4wd/prerunner setup that a 4runner would have come with?

    Its less work to do a 4runner body swap on to a 2wd chassis then it is to rework the 4wd chassis to make it even remotely close to the ground.
