jshaffer0525's 87 4runner build (sas etc)
well this is overdue by a bit i guess. it starts off slow but now that i live with some fellow yota wheelers the build is picking up.
i bought this 87 4runner about 2 years ago. this was the day i brought her home...
187k mi on the odo
SR5
22re
5spd
stupid auto hubs
dont you wish you had one of these?
so clean!
and i started having some issues with the engine which was proclaimed to be "newly rebuilt" so i dropped a new engine in it.
22re from a 92 truck, 167k mi
next step was carpet removal/bedliner
then i bought a sweet locking center console made for a jeep but i made it fit the 4runner. 2 locking compartments = win. it isnt super sturdy but it is certainly an upgrade from the stock console.
a little go juice :p
new wheels- 05 tundra wheels with 31in MTRs
months later came a pretty hefty homebrew bumper that my brother an i made over Christmas break. 3/16ths steel, fully boxed, 1/4in mounting plate, ghetto stinger, later removed.
more to come

how she sits now...
33in bfg at (35in tsls on the way)
welded rear
4.10s
high steer
backing plate eliminator
ruf
tg shackles
tg hanger
tg shock hoops
12in doetsch tech shocks
this was her first trip after the sas and the welded rear. i was amazed at how well she went as ive never driven a "locked" vehicle before. cant wait for some 35s, chromo shafts/birfs/ and a front locker!
thanks so much to adam, robbie, brandon, stretch, marie, and everyone else who had a hand in the work done.

Thanks sbc! It is cool but sad at the same time because I see how much I've beaten it.
Alex it isn't locked right now but as of Sunday it will probably be welded (temporarily) since I just got my chromo shafts and birfs in! After I assemble and install my dual cases I'll switch from a welded front to some type of auto locker.

Hehe which stinger, they're both huge! The current one was found at a buddies shop and I just decided to roll with it.
Thanks guys! I like the stance and it barely sits much over stock. Work some hammer magic and she's perfect!
