After selling my 87 4runner a few years ago, i picked up a 93 shortbed standard cab a few months ago. After finding a nightmare left by the PO Ive torn the truck down and have started on a 7mge swap. Motor should be going in on staurday! will post more pictures later, but i have a ton of 22re parts for sale if anyone needs them!

 

Welcome back, that's a pretty pickup... looks strangely familiar. (excuse the blocks, minor mishap)

 

Welcome back. Sounds like a cool build and good score!

 

Yours is so much cleaner though! thanks WI winters.. motor has been in and out, rad support modified, need to finish up oil pan mods, running a few more lines, and shes getting reinstalled! then its just wiring and a few small things. shouldnt be too long till it back on the road!

 

and some other pics..

 

I dig the build and the pictures. I spy the handiest tool ever... Extension magnet! Post more as you go, interested to see how it's coming.

 

Being a full time college student, working 40+ hours a week, helping my parents prep for burning wood through the winter, maintaining my own home, relationship, etc etc etc, is unfortunately leaving me limited time right now to finish it. All new hard lines have been ran, and oil pan was modified. Its not the prettiest but itll hold which is all that matters. Decided very quickly ill be buying a TIG for my Christmas present to myself after this venture though. Photo of my daily and doggo as well.

 

Well motor is finally in and mounted. gotta finish up a little wiring work and itll be back on the road! then cosmetic work and some suspension mods

 

well final mock ups are going good, unfortunately I bought the wrong fittings for my oil cooler/filter relocate so thats the last piece needed to start. And make an exhaust. fan bracket ends up only a few millimeters away from the pulley but luckily ive got plenty of room to do some trimming. Took a day off before finals week in order to get everything finished, super determined to see it run before the end of the year.

 

unfortunately solidworks and stats took up my entire free weekend, its been a crunch between family christmas time, finals, and work. Luckily my work schedule will be changing soon, will continue updating as it gets done!

 

haven't posted in awhile, but it runs! final engine bay shot. need to finish up the exhaust this weekend then its on to amassing SAS parts for my summer project
