Gaskets!

 

Looks like they turned out great. For no more then they are, they do a big job.

 

Nice work, turned out great!

 

Thanks fellas. Test fit one tonight and it fit perfectly. Gonna get bolts tomorrow for the 3rd member and hopefully make the diff gasket then it's reassembly time.

 

Looks good!

 

3rd member gasket made.

3rd member in

Spindles on

 

Looks really good. Coming along nicely

 

Thanks man. It's nice to finally have something go right. Got the hubs mounted today and test fit the calipers. Looks like the sfa calipers aren't spaced correctly to mount up and don't fit over the rotors so I tried the ifs calipers. They have the correct spacing but need a little grinding to slip over the rotors. Shouldn't be too big of a deal.

U can see in this pic where I need to grind the calipers.

I'll try to get a pic of the 2 calipers next to each other to show the difference.

 

Nice work! I had to grind a little off the ifs calipers when I did mine too, but I was using the LC rotors. If i ever need to replace the rotors i think next time around I'm going to use the Taco rotors too!

 

Lookin good!!!

 

The axle looks great. Nothing like making it all minty fresh to bolt back up underneath.

 

Thanks guys! As promised from another thread I've got some pics to post up about the options my truck came with.
First off here's the factory sunroof cover.


Here u can see it has a/c, digital clock, and pwr antenna.

This truck has factory rear defrost as well. I've never seen this on a truck this old period.

And a shot of the vertigo seats. I've never thought this pattern was all that rare but other ppl seem to think so.


My truck also has pwr windows, cruise control, and even had the plug in underhood light that I had no clue what it was so I threw it away. Really kicking myself in the butt for that! The fact that this is an 85 sr5 with the sfa and 22re was enough for me to know it was a gem back when I originally bought it. It was a no brainer when the guy I sold it to asked if I wanted it back.

 

There it is the unicorn unroof cover!!

Vertigo seats also. I only have the rears. Someone ditched the front factory ones before me

 

Dude!!!could you imagine walking in the Toyota dealer in 85 with a fat stack of cash and driving that thing home new!!??gizlers 4runner is basically the same as your truck!!

 

If we could only turn back the clock! It makes me sad that it's in the shape it's in now.

 

Yes but you are reviving it with every little bit you do to it. I love keeping these trucks alive. And I hate seeing them rust away and sent to the crusher

 

Agreed!!!

 

ΔΔΔ x3!

 

Updates??!!

 

Sorry, been slacking this week. Worked on it today and got the passenger side all buttoned up. Didn't think to take pics during the process either but here is the finished passenger side.

Had a lil mishap while drilling out the clearance holes in the knuckle to mount the caliper. Started drilling a hole and the drill caught and tried spinning my wrist off. Hurts like a mother but near as I can tell I didn't break anything. I immediately wrapped it up for support and to keep the swelling down but it's looking like I'll be going to the dr on Monday. If it wasn't for that I'd be putting the axle back in the truck tomorrow.

I still kept working on the truck after this tho. Last thing I did today was tear the drivers side lockout apart and gave it a fresh coat of paint. I'll get it put back together and mounted tomorrow. Then at least the axle will be ready to go back in. Hopefully my wrist isn't too mangled and I won't be down for too long.
