After building my 85 pickup i caught toyota fever and traded my 92 toy 2wd p/u straight across for this 85 4runner. Has a few dents and scratches but over all pretty clean, zero rust (gotta love Cali, for weather not their gun laws..lol)
Got the rear window working perfect and engine's in the shop getting a fresh new rebuild(22re efi).
Not exactly sure what the plans are for this one yet but i think i want 35/37's on it. I like the hardtop look so thats staying on. Ill update with some more pics when its back from the rebuild.

 

Looks good socal! lookin forward to see what you end up doing with it.

 

Do I sense an Ocotillo trip with your new ride ??

 

Thanks! I'll probably throw a detroit in the rear next and then take it out

 

I dig Ocotillo. PM me if you need a wheelin partner. Or Gorman or wherever.

 

Sounds good. I havent been out to ocotillo...its hard to want to go anywhere besides JV after wheeling there once..lol. Gorman is close and lockwood creek and miller jeep is a pretty fun. Im down.

 

Hookin up the 4runner....Started with the Big bore throttle body and spacer since i needed to put a new TPS in anyways. Also matched the plenum.

 

Also threw on the LC Pro intake kit... and a fresh set of LC Headers
2 1/4 pipe from headers back, put on brand new cat and magnaflow muffler... slowly coming together...

 

Few more pics...

 

sick runner you scored on that deal!!!! ocotillo will get under your skin just like j.v. i'm down for eather place if a run comes up.

 

Somehow I missed this build. Having the 84-85s seperate I think gets you guys negelted. Nice looking truck. I have a twin to it.

How do you like your big bore throttle body? I didnt know it existed. Looking forward to your progress.

 

Just a little preview of the occotilo wells 4x4 training area to get you fired up

 

Ahhhh nice....looks like fun. Havent been out wheelin for awhile =(

 

HOLY CRAPULA! GREAT score, SoCal! LOVE them in white!(you might have later stated you're painting it OD green or something, lol....but for now, I'll enjoy the Blanca! lol)

CAN'T WAIT to see all you have planned come together, and all you've done so far looks SUWEET!!!

 

Thanks Chef. Gonna keep it white, Not sure if im going to keep the shell white or paint it black...

 

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Keep it white, man, pleaseeeeeeeeeeee???? lol.

It can look alright, IMHO, with a black top and all black accessories.... But honestly? The all white looks so much more distinctive from the trucks. It's weird, for some reason I always have guys asking me with my red one, "Wow, did you cut the back off to make it a walk through?".... Newbs, lol.... But with my white one, NEVER asked that.... Plus, c'monnnnnn, you'll be cooler, it will fade slower, keep your gear insideeeeeeee cooler! It's a win/win with the white! lol.... Ok, that didn't sound right.... but who cares! lol. Man I miss my "Blanca">>>> (tears forming) hahahaha>>>

 

Here we go again....

 

Uh oh! Looks like a some one got some new toys!

 

Hahaha.... LET'S SEE WHAT'S IN'EM! Lol.
