ok as i said i wanna make a 86-88 4-runner drag truck and i just wanna see what every one else thinks before i even try this as i like to drag race and love my runner so heres the list

2jz-gte motor or one of these if the wife says yes http://www.toyotacatalog.net/M1WebGe...6-45A2AAEF4CE0
power glide 2-speed trany
twin to a large single turbo upgrade
flip the rear axel and drop the front
drag slicks in rear skinnys up front
full cage
drop the front ifs and run 2WD
tin and tub the truck
track bars in the rear
possible rhd conversion
weld the rear spider gears
gut the whole inside leaving the two front seats
just a few gauges




is there any thing that i've missed let me know and just let me know what everyone thinks i know its been done but not this far i know theres the guy with the 2jzte in his pick up still 4WD but he sold his and i wanna make mine ONLY 2WD drag truck only but ill drive her on the streets from time to time to keep her running the colors will be black on black with black tinted windows let me know what you guys think????? oh and yes the top will still be removeable but a full inside roll cage so far i got the go ahead on everything

 

so no one has any input what so ever??? im sure someone can say hey sounds good or man that sounds like a waste of time and money i just wanna know what people think of my set-up here

 

NOOOOOO!!! Don't tear up a perfectly good 4x4 runner!

 

ditto. you sound like you know what you're doing, so hit the junk yard and fire up your torch. besides, this way you can tow it to the track with the runner.

 

sounds like a sick plan.... take lots of pics.

 

sounds interesting. I'm all for doing your own thing, and I can garauntee you'll get looks in a tubbed-out 4runner.

 

well i would only be getting a rolling truck no motor no trans nothing just a bare truck and installing everything into it maybe get one with a blown motor and trans or something like that but i was just thinking how cool it would be to be rolling at 50 and punching it and kicking the butt out sideways lol that what started this lol



wow and yes i will be towing her with my runner two that way you don't know what one will come out and bite you in the but lol

 

yeah im still thinking about doing this it would be a very very fun project and even funner when i go to great lakes dragaway and have everyone be like whats that then drag the rear bumper on the ground lol oh yeah and wheelie bars to now that i think about it not sure on the chute but i don't think ill be going that fast lol

 

i love rolling fishtails. my 94 will do it in the rain, and it is so fun.


unfortunatly this hard acceleration is experienced leaving school zones and law enforcement frowns on that.

 

id buy one with a blown motor and build taht up

 

thats what i was thinking getting one with a blown motor or even getting one with out a motor and start from there and doing everything in my back yard then waking the neighbor's on my first test drive he he good thing they live 2 blooks away lol

 

a 22,000$ engine....? You are crazy.

 

x100000

however making a drag 1st gen 4runner would be sweet and totally original, it would also make a badass sleeper

 

These truck's chassis are very rigid so actually it will likely handle a butt load of torque. Get something as said with a blown engine and have at it.

22re what state are you from. any preference on body condition/? i can see if my dad/cousin will sell a 88 or 89 4runner thats sitting with a blown motor

 

How are you going to get it to stop?

 

How the hell are you going to pay for that?! Yikes!

 

great idea, everything u said is cool(thats what i wanna do with my 87 2x4 truck), but before u go and drop 22k on a motor, build up a 22re or whatever, twin turbo and /or 2 shot of nos and work out all the kinks,and after u toast the 22 and still want to spend 22k on a engine go for it.

 

i wont be making a drag truck, but i will have a 500lb-ft turbo 6cylinder in my 89' in the next few years... wow the drivetrain is gonna hate me...

 

ok i talked it over with the wifey well the 22k motor is a no go she said no and with a kid on the way yay not going to happen BUT i live in bear creek , WI 54922 just north of appleton and way west of green bay lol so she did say i could go ahead with the drag truck when i get the money put a side so if anyone has one let me know but only if its going to hang around for a wile cause i gotta save save save but the 2jz-gte is so going to happen its just time now and with my weekends off and a kid on the way give me 4 years and she will be all done that way i can sit and tell the little one what to do and give it to them way after im done playing with it so when i get the roller ill take lots of pics and start a new new new thread so everyone can enjoy and just cause theres only one no and 14 million yesses its so going to happen and everyone at work said cool but my boss said i should go with a 350??? any ideas? whould a 350 fit? but i really wanna keep it all toyota other then the rear end and trany there im going to the crap side and getting ford! but i hope they will hold it so ill keep every one posted and



YES ITS A GO!!!!!(money need please donate to the allan trust fund)
