Chase/ main daily truck fully equipped with 3.0 bypass Alien vs Predator setup is just too good. Let’s this 9300lbs ram2500 cummins desert coffee getr get some 💪🏽🤣! It will then hook up to a trailer back in town to move some parts around for biz and random side quests with flat bed and dump trailers. Too good! @96.osc 📽️

Luxury Pre4runner still loading…. ..
had to go back and rework some of the back half files because of some discrepancies on the final cage file that was never forwarded to him after the shop finished the cage 🤣🤦🏻‍♂️! Anyway, we got the back half figured out now. Billet Trailing arms , billet upper links, billet clevis’ for the lower shock mounts finalized and paid in full! Sheet metal and tubes are on order and cool thing is I’m cutting all the sheet metal in house aka with my buddy ( if you need laser work, lmk)! My buddy Jonathan is also the owner of . Check him out!! ..
650+ hp LS based 408 stroker is secured and paid in full. We will be using a built 4l80e with Reid case to spin the 37” toyos and a 2 speed atlas transfer case to engage that front differential. You have to keep 4x4 on a 4runner !! Am I wrong ? ..

Video from popped up. Miss these guys. One day I’ll be rolling down there again with them. This year has gone by so fast. It’s been different for sure. I haven’t gone out as much as I use to. I’m just locked in right now with the Biz about to build a house and trying to build a luxury pre runner. That s**t is not cheap. Just putting my head down and just grinding ! ..
One day I will take the 4r back down to baja. I plan to do 1-2 Norra races and mainly for media. I don’t even know what class I’ll fall into but I definitely want to race it in Baja. I’m definitely going to need the 4runner and Toyota community to help me out. For sure will need lots of volunteers and I will be slowly picking and figuring out my crew / chase team. One day !!

new song 😆💪🏽!! ..
Dropped off momma’s ride Aka the cruiser. She’s ride’n a all around. Suspension consist of TC tundra front end! Tundras suspension will bolt right up to the LC but you will need longer axles and utilize the tundra outer TRE. It’s 1.5” wider than the LC. So this is a mini LT setup for the LC200 but without being obnoxiously wide! 3.0’s all around with bypasses out back. DRKDSS BOTCK to keep the rear end from swinging through dips and bumps. ..
# chaseandtow rig always putting in work! Love this thing. It really does everything for me!

Beefed up kdss link

10/27/2025

I’m always going to keep figuring out how to make kdss system better. One of the weakest links is the rear fixed kdss link. If you wheel your vehicle really hard and come down on the sway bar really hard. The fixed rear link is your weak point. It’s so thin and the cast steel that is used is not the best quality. When / if it bends, being that the sway bar is connected to the kdss strut side as well, if it doesn’t compress a little on that hard hit. The kdss shaft will bend and now you got even bigger issues. Also, if have you have a really old vehicle, the chances of that upper link joint being seized is high and most dont know this but its not allowing the sway bar to pivot properly. That oem joint is not replaceable ! The joint on the billet link is 💪🏽❤️!

KDSS DROP SPACER?!

The kdss rear drop spacers are really only for a few reasons. Just because you have kdss , doesn’t mean you need them. Here’s the main reasons why you need them.

-You introduced extended travel shocks that have enough down travel to where the sway bar and track bar contact. You can test this by jacking up the vehicle off the rear tow hitch. Get tires off ground. Inspect to see if there’s contact. If there’s contact , you have more droop available but that two parts colliding is preventing that. The drop spacers prevent that contact.

- you have a really tall lift and want to re position the sway bar back to originally position ( not really important )

- you want to run a 285/70/17 tire in the spare oem location.

- you want some color back there 🤣🤔. Some ppl must have bling!

- not to fix or prevent KDSS lean!

Now that there’s a few companies copying the two drop spacer idea. Let’s keep these lazy companies on their toes 🤣. We know they don’t do any testing and they are just following along. The problem is that they will try to sell you something even if you don’t need it!

Anyway, instead of selling 2 spacers , one that lowers the sway bar ( passenger side ) and the the driverside one is what helps the kdss piston sit in the oem location ( middle of kdss strut ) by pushing it back up. I will be selling the setup as one longer billet link and one spacer for the strut side! leerlnt

Starting to come back together! .e.designs is pretty much wrapped up with the cage. Just waiting to get the windows back in. Prob should leave the rear quarter panel little windows out to have some kinda of vent system for some coolers most likely for the from rated to handle lots of HP/ Torque! Deposit for 6.2 ls3 special to start that build in about 3 weeks! Transmission will have a 2 speed Atlas transfer case! Big shocks are getting tied in real soon! 4r pre runner build somewhat coming together. Yes I’m keep KDSS. ..

Serious questions guys. LS3 or Hellcat in the 4runner build ? ..

“All Eyes on me” …
..This design is definitely going to trigger some people. I’m Literally not trying to but I also know the effect this design has on some 😂. It’s on purpose. ..
Today I was at the DMV to do a title transfer for the g3 tundra I just picked up. You know how many damn eyes were on me ? Some with the “hell yeah” look and some with the “f**k this guy look” 😂😩. Anyway , I had about 10-12 randoms in line ask me what that meant. After the explanation I even had one guy looking up my site because he was a Toyota guy.
….

Getting there. Cage is taking longer than expected but that because it’s going to be a weld it your self kit that you can buy from .e.designs and do it all yourself. B and C pillar will change a little for mine as I will have shocks coming into the cab and the shocks towers will have to blend nicely back into the cage. is taking care of all that. ..
Looks like the engine cage is about to go down. The +3.5” kdss setup is in and we going to have the hydros bumps bump the upper arms bolt head / striker plate we will make. ..
I get a lot of ppl saying I should do beams or ttb or even str8 axle. Nah I like my ifs. I don’t want to go any wider than this as to me it looks so obnoxious in a good and bad way. But I just like my width. One day we are going to prob do a center mount an arm setup and keep it this wide. One day. ..
Ok back to dreaming about have a luxury 4runner pre runner !

05/13/2025

5th gen luxury pre runner still loading 🫣. One day it will be real! Until then… imma keep hustling to make it happen. ..
Ok here’s pretty much how( for the most part) the cages for 5th gen 4runner that .e.designs is going to be offering. Mine will be a little diff in the b and c pillars to deal with the shocks coming into cab and the 1 seat rear passenger area. But all 5th gen guys will have an easier way to get your cage done for this platform. ..
We are definitely behind schedule but I don’t really care. I know this is a long drawn out process and life happens. So it is what it is. I’m just happy and blessed to be able to attempt to build a badass pre runner out of a 4runner. ..
is helping me with all this as well. He will be designing the whole rear end suspension ( slide it over to see a raw version of it cycling 24” with 37s). Definitely getting triangulated 4link. I’m working with lots of other guys to gather up parts and what not. You guys know who you are. And yes I’m going to do a LS swap and keep kdss using motec 🫡! ..
I think the hardest part for all this and the icing on the cake is the rear quarter panel. We definitely need wide body / fiber glass to full bump and look good 😂💪🏽. Really hoping can do it for me. Check out the gen3 they did. 🔥🔥

I’m always trying to advance kdss and these Toyota platforms as much as I can. But I’ve been needing some merch as I have been asked many times since the inception of Drkdss.com. I’ve never focused on them because I needed to put all my time and energy in the field developing/making sure the parts I make are the strongest and best options, period. I didn’t want to just make branded stuff to sell you guys. I wanted to build the company / parts / reputation so that when I do drop some , you guys will 1000% know you are buying into a real legit company. ..
There’s going to be some knock off parts you see from others for sure. Just be aware. Just know , they can’t compare because I put my heart and soul into what I do. I legit put my life on the line when I develop these parts as I run them hard with literally no fear of dying. I legit don’t have a fear lol. I try to not think about how stupid I am and just go for it lol. Not only will you get highly tested proven parts. You will get the best personal customer service in the industry today. I really do try my best to be as personable as I can with each and everyone of you guys. Even if you are not a customer. When you buy from DRKDSS.com. Just know that you are supporting a small biz ran by just me in Norco, Ca home garage! And that it helps me take care of my family! Thank you very much for the opportunity to make parts for you guys. .
Be on the look out for t shirts in the next week or so!!
