I don't know how many times I am going to say this but Orion I really like your truck. Shame you aint a little closer. If you was I would love to help get that beast running again.
Thanks a lot man! I don't have any yota buddies , and only one offroad buddy, and he lives in Georgia and drives a jeep. I have family in Raleigh, maybe once I get it goin we could do some wheeling over there?
I know of a mild trail up in Roxboro we could hit up. Its more a nice view at the top of the hill than anything else. I will ask around and see if there is a few trails that are open.
Awesome man, yeah, something nice and easy to start out. It'll be its first off road adventure for the truck. Ill letcha know when I get her up and goin!
You guys let me know too. My girl works in Roxboro so, I make that ride often. Really wanna take the truck to Uwharrie after its a little more capable. I at least need to weld up the rear and maybe some mud t/a's first.

Shoot me a PM next time your heading up to Roxboro. We could meet up somewhere or something.
Anyone live near the coast? outer banks?
this is my 86 4runner
Elizabeth City, not too far from you.
I am having a VERY hard time figuring out what to swap in it to make it worth driving again. I have an SBC 350 (L31 Vortec) and a 1UZFE sitting in my shed at this point and I feel as though I want a 4.8 or 5.3 now. I HATE the spider injector setup on the L31 and I dislike the adaptability of the 1UZFE (to my driveline). I should probably just use the 1UZ and the A340E and just swap out the tailshaft etc.

sweet man!!that's a nice looking 4runner!but im not really all that familiar with those two motors at lease with the fuel injection and stuff. I have a sbc 350 in mine with a carb and a 700r4 trans and I love it!!its not really a daily driver or anything but it could be except for the crappy mpg it gets!lol
That's a sweet rig. I would def be down to start a yota club or just an off road club in this area. Are you military? I just pulled my motor out of my truck and am having it rebuilt in kinston right now so the truck is down for probably 3 more weeks. Ever go to "Jump and Run mud bog"?, I go all the time!

Yea I'm in the military. Originally from Kansas City. My trucks also dwn for 2 weeks right now, nothing mechanical just waited till last minute to register it so I'm waiting for it to come back. If we can get a couple more people we could have a meet! Although I don't know any places to wheel.
I've never been to that mud run, but I did see a group talking about it on Facebook. The group "swamp dogs off road crew"
Am I the only one that has a ragged out looking Yota in NC?
Nope.
Cameron/Ft. Bragg. Limited with IFS and no lockers (still). 85 axle in the garage, piecing together rebuild/upgrade parts. First trip to Uwharrie last weekend, pretty fun.
Raleigh area, 89 4Runner! First car. Haven't taken it out to do some serious crawling but I intend to turn it into a mean crawler one day. Thinking I may have to do an engine swap soon, any suggestions?
