That couldn't be more true. I have never done anything like this and figured what better way to learn than to take on a rig that will pretty much need attention top to bottom.

Have fun and keep posting pics as you progress. I for one don't get sick of the build-up threads...that is about all I really look for these days. All the rest are bling!

Wabbit this thread is for you
Here we go...
The story starts with an 85 4Runner that nobody wanted. Seems like a bad flashback from high school...she was ugly I was desperate...
Here is the pic of the rig when it was posted here.
At the time I owned a 2000 4Runner w/ all the popular mods, including Sonoran rear bumper, TC skid, blah, blah, blah...
I have since sold it and purchase a Sequoia to eventually tow the 85 around.
Specs:
85' 4Runner
22RE (Clean and runs)
Auto
185K miles
Rusty
Basic Plans:
Marlin 4" Lift
Marlin Crossover
5.29 Yukons
Aussies front and rear
V6 Calipers up front w/ LC vented rotors
Stock calipers/rotors in rear (more on that later)
33" MTR's until I can find a deal on 35's
Frame plating
Sticker Removal
I brought it home last Sept and have been spending my time since then removing rusty parts and rebuilding the front axle. I should have the front all buttoned up tomorrow night.
Wish me luck...
