Talking DIRTCO's 1985 4Runner Build-Up Thread

Well, after one eventful trip it's time to tear the truck apart and fix the damage that has rendered my truck immobile. But while I'm fixing the damage I might as well change some things around to make the truck more capable and prevent things like this happening again (to a certain extent).

Here's a quick history of the truck. Started working on it around 4 or 5 years ago, I bought it as a bone stock 85' 4Runner, 22re, Auto trans and a shot motor. After getting it home I replaced the motor and converted it to a manual transmission. While I was at it, it got some cheap lift springs and some long shackles. That's when I decided to do things right, replaced the crappy lift springs with Alcan 63" hybrid rear springs and rears up front. I bobbed the bed 14" and mounted up some 37" MTR's with 5:29's, a spool in the rear and a lock right in the front. Then added dual case's, bumpers and some other stuff.

Through the years I changed little things around, but for the most part it stayed a short 4Runner (and some added body damage )

Here's some pic's
