4x3 reducer for hvac, I then cut vertical slits all around the bottom and folded them up to create the bottoms.

 

What up dude. My first yotatech post I like your 1/2 doors with the cup holders, I'm going the same route when I get there. Many other things to do first though. Good progress so far!

 

Haha what's up man! Yeah I'm liking how they're turning out, not I'm going to search for some straight doors with wing windows since mine has no a/c. When I'm back in Reno we'll have to take the old trucks out on the trails!

 

I'm down for some trail riding. Just got PS hooked up so I'm ready to rock.

 

Got my new throw out bearing in the mail recently, radiator should be shipping soon and picked up a rear axle out of an IFS 4runner today. Planning on cutting all the tabs off of it, building rear and top gussets out of tubing and plate, shock mounts and then a disc brake conversion. Also installed some gently used interior carpet/rear seats since the carpet in it was trashed and the rear seat was an ill fitting aftermarket or Jeep bench seat. Pretty happy with how it turned out, have the brown/grey interior look going now but i'm not too worried about it.

 

Looks good man. Nice upgrade.

 

Got some used wheels and tires for my Tacoma today so now the 4Runner will be getting the Method wheels I took off, as soon as I find some 35s for it.

 

Nice work!!really like the 4dr.

 

nice work on the interior, seats and carpet look like they are in great shape! Nice score on the tires and wheels too!

 

Methods are nice wheels. Should look great on the runner. I just put method nv305s on my f150.
Carpet came out good . Cleaning up nicely.

 

Thanks guys, getting impatient waiting on the radiator from Northwest Off-Road, hopefully it will be worth it to have a radiator made to fit the frame and inlet and outlet hoses in the right locations. Once its running then its on to figuring out what to do with the suspension, don't want to go too high but I want to clear 35's. Not afraid of doing a little clearance work with a grinder/welder but also don't want it to looking all hacked up. I'll have plenty of time this winter once fire season is over, it's good to have a project haha. The four door will be sporting a bed rack with a roof top tent here shortly, after I decide on a design and which tent to go with......and get motivated to build the rack.

 

Kukenam ruggedized gets my vote. Those things are badass!

 

I want to do the Kukenam Sky so I can open the top up. 👍

 

Got the transmission back in the 4Runner tonight, hooked up the clutch and tried to bleed the lines but had no luck getting any clutch function. Pretty sure that the master cylinder just needs to be rebuilt so trip to the parts store tomorrow for that and a few other random parts. Excited that its starting to get stuff put back onto it though!

 

Nice build. Kind of cool that you got the engine and runner back.

I like both sets of wheels.

Nice Taco. I miss mine.

 

Thanks!

I got the new clutch master cylinder in last night and bled the throw out bearing, seems to work well now. Working on mounting the remote oil filter somewhere along the framerail possibly near the trans crossmember so it's up out of harms way. Other than that I'm still waiting on a radiator.

 

Radiator is on its way!!! Stoked, by the time I get back from the King fire in California I'll get to throw the radiator in and turn key!

 

Nice! Can't wait to see it fire up and see some pics of it in action!

Be safe out there !

 

Got this picture from my dad today....

 

^ jealous man. Looks like a nice one. My rad has a few small leaks around the top tank. Been looking @ aluminum radiators online , havnt been able to pull the trigger.
