have fun lifting that beast...

looks like a pain in the ass

 

hopefully wont b to bad, going to put it back in two pieces like i took it out.

 

Wow, lotta great work, man! Those 37's NEED SOME SPACE! hehehe

 

honestly, lifting a tranny by itself isn't that bad. i could easily rock and maneuver mine with t-case and tranny together, filled with oil. it's just not something i would lift by myself. my $0.02

 

Been awhile scrubbing and cleaning here are some pics finally...


Dual row timing chain kit on




LCE Valve Cover(wow)




Buttoned up a bit and P/s pump stuff going on

 

Dude, seriously...........BEAUTIFUL! Nice work, and that undercarriage is EQUALLY beautiful to that motor! hahaha... I know, most average shmo's wouldn't agree.. but I TOTALLY admire your work under there, man! GREAT JOB!

 

This is looking awesome dude !!!

 

looks great..where did you find the wire guides? i like it

P/S reservoir bling looks great too

 

Hey SoCal...NOT EVEN trying to be nit picking, lol... But the wiring housing fittings go on top of the billet, not underneath. You wanna keep them as far away from that header as possible, regardless of how high temp tough they are, etc., ya know? Like this>>>



Unless that one is supposed to be like you have it... Just making sure, ya know?

 

Man this is looking unreal blinged out !!!!

 

Thanks Chef! Ditto
Thanks
LCEngineering has them.

Yeah thanks, The kit gives you hardware to mount them either way. I liked the way this looked better...

 

Ahhhh, ok, sorry man... I thought it was better to have them higher, only reason I was pointing it out... But they're even closer with the stock set up, I think, so nevermind, hahaha.

Looks great, nice work, SoCal!

 

Its all Good Chef! Thanks for the thought. Lets get these things in the rocks.

 

tranny/t-case/skid back on..





Rear end off...

 

That is simply looking BEAUTIFUL, man! Just such an incredible job with a very rare/cool rig.... It's a Calendar Pic, right there^^^ lol.

 

Just going to start off by saying that is one amazing rig, I have never seen an 85 with that clean of a undercarriage! I am just wondering will the 4" TG lift be sufficient for your 37s? Or did you plan on adding a body lift or modifications to the fenders? I am simply asking because I have the exact same lift and looking into some 37s as well!

 

Thanks for the compliments! I try...thats all.

im sure they will fit just fine,the 4" will be plenty for 37's. Maybe some minor trimming here and there. Rock em

 

This is going to be like having a brand new 4Runner when you're done. Awesome work man... I can't wait to see the end result.

I'd say finished but they rarely ever are.

 

Very nice build. I just picked up a 1984 SR5 not near as clean as yours it came from out of state so it has a little rust. But it will be a great build. I need to start my own build up page. I have followed your build you have given me some great ideas. Thanks

 

MORE PICS, UPDATES, ETC., please? hahaha.
