the white was beat and after all the body work it wasnt really an option. but yes this is my DD

 

Just found your thread. You have done an awesome job in a very short time. I like it

So you were able to use the dual transfer case crossmember with only one case for now? If so that is good to know as I picked up a Budbuilt mount off ebay for dirt cheap...shipping was more...
Also where did you find your boomer rang shackles? I need those for my Trekker...
Thanks,
Robb

 

the duel case crossmember works with one case but the drain plug rubs the crossmember and you need to drop the case in order to change the fluid. i got the boomerand shackles from sky manufacturing

 

amazing man, i always come back to ur thread...i love your 4runner.

 

small update

finished my half doors


got my case adapter in the mail should have it in within a week or so



and i installed a full detroit in the rear

 

you running different tires/rims in that last picture?

 

Awesome build-up! I'm curious about the half doors though. You mentioned it is your DD so what do you do if it rains, and what is the main purpose of them other than looks?

 

i have two sets of doors, one full, one half. the main pourpus is to make it easier to see while i wheel


yes they are a cheep set of 35in ATs i use for the street but i blew a 37 so i just ran them so i could wheel

 

beautiful
i always wished i had a 1st gen just so i could have half doors haha,
i like the flat green btw
im jealous, Nice Work!
hopefully when im out of this apt and in a house i will have enough garage space to get to work!

 

I'm Jealous......

 

the bumper feels so much sturdier with the new support


fender tubes





ill try to get some daytime pics tomorrow

 

ant we all?

 

broke a birf yesterday





took out my birf, spindle, hub, and wheelbearing
time for longs i guess

where it broke

 

Awesome job with the build!

 

definitely awesome........so is illtoy's avatar!!

 

Sure the stub axle did not break? Birfield cage looks ok but I could be wrong.
One of those things I need to practice fixing...The more I see your truck I think I may go the same approach with my '81, Line-x or Herculine the rockers and do some OD green on top...

 

+1 only 4R to have IMO!

 

Wow makes me want a 1st gen now!

Awesome work man!

 

ya the birf joint itself is fine but the rest of it is done

 

still got a couple more welds to do but it is pretty much done






i made it out of the pair of shackles i bought at AA parts that were in the front of my truck before i got my boomerangs, a stock mount, and a set of sky SAS frame tubes that they sent me by mistake so all in all it cost me like 20$ i have enough materials to make a second one too.

im going to order new motor mounts in a couple weeks to so hopefully ill get rid of all my driveline vibs
