Z's Confederate Toy

That's my goal anyway. As long as I can stay focused and the weather permits. I have all of the parts to do it, I just need to find the time to get it done.

So, bigish update. I've been pulling all of the un necessary crsp outbif the engine bay, pulled the rusted tobhell driver fender off, sold the passenger fender because it was mint, pulled the grill and bumper, ditched the a/c condenser I also sold the 22r I was goin to use. So, that gives me the money for that 98 4Runner that I was talking about a while back. My buddy still had it. Will be paying for it today and hopefully picking it up tomorrow. I think 800 for the whole thing is reasonable. Gonna spend a good portion of the weekend pulling all of the stuff I need for swap. Will update with pics as soon as I can.

So here we go, some pictures finally.


Pics of the donor


She's only got 180k miles on her so the engine is barely broke in. Oil looks good, basically new. Everything is there but the radiator. Got smashed in the wreck. Going to pull all of the parts that we think are still good to try to make a little money back on the purchase. But I got a screaming deal on the motor trans tcase harness and body harness. Can't wait to get it in the 88. Will take and post more pics later after we get some shtuff done.

nice progress. did you buy a plug-n-play wire harness for the swap?

Z's Confederate Toy

I didn't, wish I could afford one cuz I hate wiring. Might end up seeing what Mike at ORS will charge. Travis just got his 22RE to 1UZ harness for around 4. Which isn't too terrible of a price.

Is ORS still in business?

Z's Confederate Toy

Newly reopened as far as I know. Not in CO anymore, Missouri I think. Travis just had that one off 1uz harness made and it came from Mike at ORS.

Ok so here is another update. Got a lot done this weekend. Hung the rear axle and 63 chevys, cut the IFS, burned in the front hanger, set the 93 RUF's and hung a front axle. Overall good weekend with lots of progress finally.







Hoping to start on the steering soon as I get the money to buy the materials to build the rest of my hi steer

Its really coming together nice! I have really been thinking about doing a RUF spring swap for my worn out fronts. Did you modify the pack at all? Add to or take away?

Z's Confederate Toy

I didn't anything yet. I will end up cutting the overloads out, but other than that il end up leaving them alone. I used the rears from a 93 pickup. They are 3 inches longer. I also did not frill the frame for a shackle, we welded a shackle mount to the bottom of the frame

Cool man. I am going to be picking up some springs off of something soon. Ive been debating reusing my rears after I do the 63" swap. Thanks for the info.

Longfield IFS hub adapters

I think you'll like em. I liked them on my buddy's truck after he did em. Lots of flex plus it moves your axle forward for a better approach angle
