[QUOTE="TBItoy, post: 651628, member: 1384"] Good insight. I've built 3 Toyotas for myself that ended up truggy/firewall buggy. After I sold the gremlin I said "never again". If I build from a stock frame I'm keeping 100% creature comforts for trail riding and just dealing with the compromises, not building a "hard core wheeler" First rig I built, I body lifted to raise entire drivetrain and chopped frame to clear high steer On the 4Runner buggy I cut the floor out and raised the tcase up flush with the frame. This basically ended up with a buggy with a very wide flat belly. On the gremlin I didn't cut the floor and just built a drop crossmember/skid. There was so much I didn't like about that rig that I got disgusted and sold it. I'm thinking/measuring around about putting a ~4-6" deep \___/ subframe angled in from the stock framerails on a 3rd gen 4Runner. Kinda like this but on stockish Super Duty tons [IMG]http://www.addictedoffroad.com/images/Fabrication/tk_20004Run_04.JPG[/IMG] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
