do i spot an olive drab rig? hehe...

and mak, i always thought ur 4runner was red for some reason. it looks pretty sick man, im used to just seeing the drivers side mirror LOL

 

Great pics, ADAM! You missing the 2tone at all? Love that thing.... and REALLY think you need to give me your bumper, ok? COOL, thanks! hahaha

GI, SUP BRUDDA? BTW, ... on the other thread, 'what's wrong'.... YOU WIN, indeed! lol. WOW! Loving the flatbed though... gonna get crack addict hobby'modding on that thing, aren't ya? hahaha.

Mak..... is that pic "PRE-ZUK"? I know all you've done/added lately.. just curious.

 

not sure what you mean by PRE-ZUK? if you're refering to the ZUk mod? I cant do that... 2nd gen 4Runners are linked in the back. so all I can do is replace the coil. and I havne't done that yet... so these are still stock.

 

hehe, i have plans for it, but space is running out fast. i want to put a little (well big) ammo box off of a deuce and a half on it to hold a winch, all kinds of gear, tools etc. mount a hi-lift back there, a 35" spare, one of those multi shovel axe tool things, and some more goodies....

when i redo the bed, i think im gonna stretch it an extra foot or whatever to make it the length of a long bed

 

Did you
not put the little weld on block on the drivers side because you got quite a lean going on other than that good looking truck i wanted that kit but i couldn't afford it.

 

Not missing the old paint yet. I will add some more color to this one sometime soon, as time allows. Thanks for the prop's, it was a blast to finally take the rig off the pavement again. About the bumper, let me know when you want one....we've got a new bender and notcher at the shop, so we can whip one out for you.

 

Oh, I know, ... I meant, really, "is that pic 'PRE-TALLER coil' " ? Doing the before and after action? lol.. You answered my question. Looks great! It'll look even 'gr8r' lol..... what are you going to do for the coils... same type, but OME or something?

Sounds good! I love those multi-kits.. You mean the Hi-Lift kit?

 

weld on block?

 

nahh, same thing, but its made by a different brand....cheaper, and the reviews sound pretty good

 

That is a tuff looking bumper man do they make one kinda like the for the pickup as well or just the runners

 

they make one for every truck existing...

google tactical armor group

 

Nice runner man seeing this one chef's and all the other early runners make me want one so freakin bad like the way you painted the bead locks red to match the runner looks ssswwweeeeeeetttt lol

 

Will do man i want a rear bumper but aint really found one i like yet and that thing is great

 

was thinkin about my rig not to long ago, the day i first got it. here she is, sitting in the po's yard.





and here she is now (well she's clean in this picture)



and heres a random picture of my 85, i know, not an 86-95, but i dont even remeber taking this picture

 

i remeber the first time i drove that truck... i stalled it in his feild haha. and i wasnt familiar with the "J" transfer pattern, so i tryed everything to shift out of low, i finally got it, but i had no idea how i did it, and i had no idea how i got into low in the first place. and i remeber cutting the wheel as hard as i could gridning the 35's into the fender. etc. etc, i can go on for days....

 

Shift knob... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/_W0QQ...ht_2120wt_1165

Transfer case knob is expensive, but it's a direct fit.... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/_W0QQ...ht_2103wt_1165

 

Weld class is going good, here are a few students vehicles. Its going to be a good simester. The truck on the right I saw and photographed, then posted a year ago. He is now a beginner student as of last monday. And I gave the kid with the 2wd a cb, he was thrilled.

 

Teuf..... great shot! Isn't that funny? Yesterday, I was at Home depot... saw a 200? Taco with Snorkel, etc., in front of an 89 Xtra Cap 4x4 Toy, Next to mine, next to a 79 FROM HELL! Cell phone was dead, but got one shot of the Taco before THAT DIED TOO! lol. I'll post it in a bit.

How are you, Teuf? Das ist Goot?

 

Re-adjusted the T-bars as low as possible without making a rake again... wound up CLOSE TO PERFECTLY level! LOVING the ride, both of the IFS restore, Zuks and Motor I rebuilt... Drove my boss, today(he's in the rig, lol) and he said, "This thing is very smooth, I can't believe it's 24.5 Years old! Sounds really goot'n'strong, yah?" lol. He's not one to compliment very easily, on his own,... so that felt good. He knows all I've been through with it... Very glad he was comfy, lol....>>



Got another couple blurry ones at the store.... DANG PHONE, not sure why it's all the sudden blurry! They used to be more clear!! grrr! lol... Just testing out the Cell quality in these. And for those who said, "It's the phone"... I hear ya, but it's a 6MP LG... should be fine for these shots! >>>

 

visited the state referee this past friday and paid my $8.25. now it's officially street legal...



it's currently a 2wd. the front diff and axles were removed during the 3.4 engine conversion to make room for the soon to come sas.
