1984 4runner
Posting my rock-crawler camping rig to test the waters. i'd like to start another one, but only if i get what i want for this one. I'm not in a hurry to sell, but i will consider reasonable offers.
The truck started as a 22r, solid axle 4runner. I built it mainly to be a weekend camping rig and mild rock-crawler. thats why it isn't all chopped up.
Drivetrain:
7mge, 5 speed, gear driven t-case with marlin 4.7 gears and twin-sticks.
Front axle: custom width axle, widened 6" over stock (Housing widened 3 + another 3" due to IFS hubs) with 30 Spline chromo shafts. 5.29 gears, open diff. trussed and shaved.
Steering: 4x4 labs high-steer with rebuilt marlin steering box - has GM 1-ton rod ends, Marlin 25mm trunion bearings, ARP studs. only has 1 season on it
Brakes: Tundra 231mm brakes on the front, brand new brimbo rotors (installed in april). 1" bore mater cylinder.
Rear axle: v6 rear axle, 5.29 gears, E-LOCKER
Suspension: chevy rears, Rear Up Front
Interior: sr5 seats, inclinometer, sr5 guages, nice sound system, added rear cargo lighting, New carpet installed in july with sound-proofing on all the floorboards.
Electronics: JVC head unit with USB ipod connection, blue-tooth and AUX jack. 4" MBQuart components up front, Pioneer Premier 6x9's in the back and a JL audio 10w1 sub all powered by a 5 channel alpine amp. CB radio installed under the head unit, looks very clean and sharp.
Protection:
sliders: 2x2x 3/16 tube
rear bumper: 2x3x3/16" tube, has tow hitch recessed in and working trailer lights.
front bumper: FROR plate bumper, no winch.
also budbuilt t-case crossmember
Tires: 37x12.50x17 nitto mt tires with lots of tread on black aluminum wheels
Truck runs great and wheels awesome! its ready for a front locker if you want one. this thing has never left me stranded. The truck has done liberty and spring creek trails (as well as many more) and i've always driven it home from the trail, very solid rig! the only thing wrong with the whole truck is that the engine is getting a bit tired, there's some blue smoke on startup and it uses a bit of oil. it still runs great though and i still drive it all over colorado and utah to wheel, as well as drive it to work when it snows. I rebuilt the top end of the engine when i put it in (2008) so it should have good valves and it has the upgraded metal head gasket. the 7mge makes about the same power as a 3.4 v6, but hits a little higher in the RPM's. gets great mileage (20 mpg on the highway even on 37's!). Its not a v8 but this engine makes about 2x the power that the stock 22r had and its plenty sufficient to get you up to the mountains. the truck functions great as is, doesn't need a thing to hit the trails.
NOTE: i've had people ask about emissions, this thing has never had an emissions test since the engine swap. there is currently no CAT so one will have to be added, but i don't see why it wouldn't pass if you put one on.
asking 7500$
