What up dude. My first yotatech post I like your 1/2 doors with the cup holders, I'm going the same route when I get there. Many other things to do first though. Good progress so far!

Haha what's up man! Yeah I'm liking how they're turning out, not I'm going to search for some straight doors with wing windows since mine has no a/c. When I'm back in Reno we'll have to take the old trucks out on the trails!

I'm down for some trail riding. Just got PS hooked up so I'm ready to rock.

Got my new throw out bearing in the mail recently, radiator should be shipping soon and picked up a rear axle out of an IFS 4runner today. Planning on cutting all the tabs off of it, building rear and top gussets out of tubing and plate, shock mounts and then a disc brake conversion. Also installed some gently used interior carpet/rear seats since the carpet in it was trashed and the rear seat was an ill fitting aftermarket or Jeep bench seat. Pretty happy with how it turned out, have the brown/grey interior look going now but i'm not too worried about it.

Got the transmission back in the 4Runner tonight, hooked up the clutch and tried to bleed the lines but had no luck getting any clutch function. Pretty sure that the master cylinder just needs to be rebuilt so trip to the parts store tomorrow for that and a few other random parts. Excited that its starting to get stuff put back onto it though!

I got the new clutch master cylinder in last night and bled the throw out bearing, seems to work well now. Working on mounting the remote oil filter somewhere along the framerail possibly near the trans crossmember so it's up out of harms way. Other than that I'm still waiting on a radiator.

Radiator is on its way!!! Stoked, by the time I get back from the King fire in California I'll get to throw the radiator in and turn key!

^ jealous man. Looks like a nice one. My rad has a few small leaks around the top tank. Been looking @ aluminum radiators online , havnt been able to pull the trigger.
