Sweet! Let me know if you need a hand. I'm going to cut the back of the 4Runner off Wednesday. Gonna buy a new camera so I can get lots of good pictures. 4Door 2nd Gen Truck here I come.

If you can cut the coil brackets off clean that'd be awsome.

New plans. I'm cutting up a single cab truck to use on my 4Runner. I'm going to cut the last inch or so off the back of the single cab and weld that to the back of the 4Runner so I'll have a sliding glass in the rear.

Good Times!

Use the back of the 4Runner so you can have a roll down rear window and a hatch if you need to lay the seats down. I don't see the reason in cutting up the red truck cab.

I sold the tailgate. Plus there's not enough room to make the tailgate work when you move it forward.

Wow you just finished sasing that thing. I will be watching. I can see myself doing the same chop and doing coil overs in the rear someday. Good luck

Nope I didn't buy a camera yet. Still looking, trying to stay around $300.00 or so.

Is that the 82 in Jasper from craigslist? Was the front axle still under it? I was supposed to go up there and pull it but have been sick.

No, it's the parts 84 truck I got my front axle from to use on the 4Runner some time ago. I'm hoping the top part will match. If it doesn't fit no big deal. I've got 2 mini truck axles (a 79 and 84) if you need one.

I don't technically need it (yet) but it is a good deal if I can get healthy enough to go pull it.
