Found my white unicorn and 302 swap
(84 4runner 302 swap) I took my pickup in the wrong direction as bout as far as you could take it (IFS lift components and all) Got to the point where I was getting ready to do a solid swap and thought to my self I'd love to leave it and find something to start all over on. Looked high and low for the better part of a year and nothing. Got on craigslist digging for something else figured what the hell typed it in and holy crap there it was. 1984 4 runner sr5 running condition 90% of the electrical switches worked, 4wd works, not quite road ready but damn close.

Family cruiser probably... she is too straight to cut on... 3" store lift or RUF's and something to even it out in the back... mild 33's... gears... paint... Stinger... soft top
Took the top off and tuned her a tad... rode dirt roads all day today... plan on going through the motor this winter

I've been to Durhamtown once with Cabot. And I got stuck. And I need lower gears to do the rocks. So for now I just ride the highways for job related travels... I'm in the process of finding a Runner for the wife now, since she wants a Merc TD swap Toy.

Baby steps I guess. I pulled all of the rust bandits off front 2 fenders were spotless. Back 2 not so much. Guess I'll trim em tomorrow. Then ive got a place in the Floor board to patch and some sheet metal work on both sides of the sun roof.
Got all the rear trim mounts off. Really considering a fuel cell and a bed mount for the spare.

I Know right... I have to remind myself of what this build is going to be... supposed to be a family hauler nice and simple but I keep having these visions. and I cant stand seeing the tank and tire drag under this thing.

Best fender trim ive found that didn't involve a full out tub. Figured I'd post it here so I can find it again and work on doing my own rendition.

Like to be able to fit 36's but the trimming is primarily for rust removal right now. And I think the way the black truck got trimmed out matched the front fender lines real well.
