After years of building, wheeling and destroying my last 4Runner, it’s time to build a new one. The 85’ has served me very well but has gotten to the point where it is no longer practical; it’s pretty much a buggy with some twisted and torn sheet metal. That wouldn’t be an issue, except for the fact that I don’t have a tow rig or trailer and I have always driven it to and from the trail. I always planned on getting a tow rig and trailer, but after a couple years I realize that it’s not in the budget (no mater how hard I try to squeeze it in). So, the only option I have is to build a new more streetable rig.
The goals for this next build are quite a bit different than the last. The main issue is that this is my one and only daily driver, so it has to be street friendly, have heat, and overall be comfortable. It also needs to be built up enough to run my favorite trails and cruise out to Moab with all my camping gear. I know that I won’t be able run the super hardcore trails any more but that doesn’t bother me, without a tow rig it is more stressful than fun.
Here’s the build up of the old 85’ 4Runner.
