    looks pretty cool. that's a lot of work. couldn't you have just lowered it with a lowering kit? i'm just wondering what the purpose of the body drop is?

    ducky: body dropping a truck will always make the body appear lower without losing ground clearance. bags or not, it is a great route to go. its just alot more work than most people do for a static drop.

    maybe he will bag it. either wat it looks like clean work. i like it. its a great start.

    The car already have a 4" lowering kit and a big leaf removed.

    With the bodydrop the total drop is approximately 8".

    And I can drive my truck everywhere whithout a problème.

    It will be bag one day but it's hard to find parts for doing that here in France and they are very, very expensive.

    The next step will be the bed modification, the 4 Runner front and wheels.

    Yes, it's a diesel. All the Taro are diesel.

    Seats are aftermarket for little old sports cars. A friend sells it in is VW aircooled shop. Look good and they are very confortable.

    Thank for all your comments.
