I like the picture with your 4Runner. I also like the new wheels. Would you recommend them?

Rocky Point bike trails you mean? There are really only a few good spots on the island to run them. The beach inlet is probably the best.

Thanks Rich,
Did you peep the Scx10 forum? I have your old runner

Yes I love these wheels, they are awesome, machining work is top notch and they remind me of old school tecnacrafts and sees. The tires held on fine being shoe gooed on

You know, ya dont want to sound weird when you say this, including about RC Trucks. Which I am sure you know by now that when you mention RC to someone who knows nothing of it. They look at you funny.

But that is a damn sexy picture that speaks.

Great job on the build Mike, just how many trucks ya have now?

which shock is in the front with the dual mount ? 80mm or 90 mm?

if you're using 80mm ones how much more down travel than with stock hoops?

edit- sorry, i meant up travel. thank you

How did you get the front axle centered in the wheel well? Mine is offset to the rear about 5mm.

Correct, U bolt kit is installed and I have the front axle slide forward some on the leafs. caster is a bit negative but doesn't really affect the performance or drive shaft angle. I also have the rears slid forward as well so they tuck into the center of the wheel rather into the back of the well. That is a big pet peeve of mine...I hate when dudes build real Toyotas and they add the longer leafs in the rear and don't push the front spring perch far enough forward.

Awesome update! I ordered those steel rock sliders too, they should be showing up soon.

Btw, where did you get those tiny Toyota emblems?
