anyone parting out a 4runner ??

[Ric]

Im needing a set of the (rear) Lower Suspension Arms, mine are sooo bent, they are making contact with the sway bar end links.
Im really wanting these http://www.sonoransteel.com/rubicon_express_links.html but just cant afford it right now, since the boys just went back to KC, and we spent wayyyyyy to much money while they was here.
So Im looking for a used set right now, and going to just weld a piece of angle iron on them, I know another Co. is making something and Ill probley be the test mule but its taking them way to long. I need something asap, as I want to wheel
So if anyone knows someone parting out a 4Runner, please let me know.

I might have a set of 5 "slightly" used Ivan Stewart TRD wheels to trade/sell

Ric that guy that rolled his 4runner out in Cali, that Charles and BruceTS helped, should have some.

contact him and he may have the lower arms for ya he may have sold em but im not totally sure.

car-parts.com has them but they arent very cheap

why not make your own? know anyone who can weld??

take your current arms off, cut as close to the ends as possible, grind off the excess, cut DOM tubing with a chop saw to the proper length, then get someone who's good at welding to get good penetration welding the ends on while making sure theyre perfectly straight.

the hardest part is pressing out the bushings though you can get a shop to do that maybe? all it takes is a torch to the outside with the pressure of the press on the bushing and it'll start to slide out till its all the way out. then while its hot, you press in the new ones from toyota which arent very cheap.

at the end of all this work, you will save like 300 bucks though!

here are mine

Blake,
Ill check it out, thankx..

lee,
easier said than done and time is an issue, dont have lots of time to make them.

my buddy and i got em done in about 2-3 hours or so.

hardest part is getting both ends exactly even.

just thought i'd post it up so you could consider it

another option is have kartec make you a set of arms. Just call them with the length from eye to eye and they'll used DOM tube, thread it and then you add Heim joints. that's what we did to Lance's rig. Price was reasonable too......

I'll give Vince a call and see if he wants to part them out...... The rolled runner.....

I might still have mine from that '96 4Runner I parted out. I will check tonight when I'm out in the garage, I can't remember if they went out to the steel recycling place or not?
