  • Do I need RB body lift body mount brackets?

    96 gen 3.

    As above says,i've ordered what I thought I needed but Roger's mailed me back and confused me! I've searched my heart out and as far as I can tell,

    This is what I need.

    Rad brackets,
    bumper brackets(too lazy to make)
    Steering ext.
    Bolts and spacers.

    No idea about these extra mounts and I'm also sick of searching!!!

    If anyone whos online knows if I need these please let me know.

    Matt has lifted his 3rd Gen using Rogers kit, he discovered that with a 2" lift the steering extension fouls the exhaust on the RHD TD models. About 1.5" seems to be the max body lift using a steering extension option, anything greater will require cutting & welding of the steering column.

    Otherwise your shopping list looks fine.
    The extra mounts issue arose when they discovered in the US that the 96 model has 2 less than the later ones. The holes in the floor are there but the mounts are not on the chassis rails. AFAIK these extra 2 mounts only appear on the 4Runners not the Surfs (following prior threads on the topic a few late model owners checked theirs to confirm this) so fitting the extra mounts is up to you, probably not strictly needed, but may provide a little more support and reduced flex especially after it has been lifted. If it were me, I'd certainly fit them if performing a body lift (which I'll hopefully do one day).

      Thanks mate

      Nice one , just emailed him telling him not to send them.
      All a little confusing,I think I'll find it easier to install than to order,more of a hands on person!!

      Just to let ya know since your from Dublin,I ordered a Safari snorkel today.

      Got it through theses guys http://www.hyvalift.com/Prod_Safari.html

      Was e370 including delivery to the door,C.O.D.

      Shipping was e70 so if ya can wait 4-6 weeks it wld be 300.

      Will have it by next wednesday,worth the 70 yo yo's I think.

      Colmn is ya man to talk to,I meantioned others might want one and he said he'd do something if there were a few ordered at the same time.

      thanks again
