Just put a 4th Gen “Viper-Cut” on my front bumper. Trimmed the back of my fender and hammered my pinch welds. Prepping for my 295’s baby! Body mount chop is next. 👍🏼 I can’t think you enough for these videos!!!!
Solid ! Starting my build in September and the channel is going to be a big help! The "shorts" you are putting out are dope as well! Keep up the great work bro. And thanks for the videos!
Ayeee!!! Congrats man! Hey I’m just hoping they help people because there’s almost no videos on youtube for us 4th gen guys!!
Build is coming together nicely!
Thanks!!
Thanks! Used this video to mine today.
Hey no problem! I glad it helped!!!
Nicely done, could you have used a heat gun and tried to fold the trim in after folding the weld in? Also put some glasses on please. Then discs go boom a lot .
I mean I suppose you could if you wanted to, I don’t have a heat gun and it just wasn’t that big of a deal to me personally, but you can if you choose to. Noted!😂
Yes you can. A heat gun is like 20 bucks. Not only looks better but keeps mud/rust from getting all up in there
What caster are you running?
I have a 2003 gx470 with 285/70R17s, but I’m considering 34x10.5 tires which are really 33.5 by 10.6 per mfg specs
I don’t rub at all with my 285s and 17x9 -12 rims but your video has me worried since your tires are more like 33.3” tall.
I also have TC UCAs and I’m at 3.7* caster and no front sway bar
Yeah I’m not sure🤷🏿♂️ I’d say if you think moving up in tire size is important then go for it! The pinch welds are no biggie
You might to do a body mount chop
Yeah I already did a video on it, I did it again after this video
Id rather piss into the wind than take a risk with my eyes(Bushwick Bill).
Nice rig...
But put on some safety glasses.
Yeah everyone roasted me on that already haha. Thanks man!
What’s your tire size? do i have to chop the body mount and the fenders if i put 285 70 17 on my 2006 4runner? thanks man
I’m running 295/70r17
But no you shouldn’t have to chop the body mounts with 285’s
thanx man just the mud flaps and some little trimmings? thank you for responding appreciate it.
Do you think heating up the pinch area at the bottom with a heat gun would make it the bending and pounding easier?
A heat gun won’t get the metal hot enough to really make a difference. The pinch welds are made of really thin metal anyway, so the pens really easy. Applying heat to make them bend really isn’t necessary in my opinion.
@@Garrett_Logan thx!
@@kikigem2952 absolutely!
How big of a lift are you running in front and back?
The front is 3.5” and the back is 3” unless you plan on running weight and a bumper in the back then I’d say 3” in the rear may be too much
