Greg, Shari, Jerry and Mellisa came out to Reno for the 4th of July weekend. Saturday we went to Lake Tahoe and hung out on Hidden Beach. Nice little spot on the lake.

Here’s the pictures.

It was time to redo the rear suspension on my 4runner to keep up with the Total Chaos long travel kit I had installed on the front. The solution was 12″ travel Fox 3 tube by-pass shocks custom mounted behind the axle. The fab work was done by Samco Fabrication.

Check out the fab pics and finished pics over here.

Took the 4runner out for a short run in the local hills. Front suspension performed amazingly, now it’s on to the rear suspension! Pictures over here. Check out this shot, I found my house!

I decided it was time for another upgrade for the 4runner. This time it was a long travel suspension kit from Total Chaos. The kit allows for 13″ of 4wd travel. Installation was a dusy but Kurt and I got it all together.

Install photos and finished pictures are over here.
