Looking great! I wish I didn't have the Colorado snow to deal with. I don't forsee working on my truck until march sometime.

 

Yeah I was viewing someone elses build thread from CO and saw all the snow. For once im glad to live in CA

 

any updates its been awhile scottie????

 

Ive got an update comming soon

 

keeping an eye on this because i just got an 87 4runner.

lucky... you already have the solid axle . i couldnt find any older 4runners near me.

 

Looking good with the paint.

Wheres that update? Not soon enough!

 

UPDATE
Havent gotten too much done. Been busy at work and the local ski resort opened.
I got around to painting my hubs though and they look a whole lot better

 

So I tested my fuel pump and found out its not working. So I removed the one from my 87 parts truck to swap in and it wont fit. It seems as if the 87 has a deeper tank. Is this true or am I doing something wrong?
Does the 87 have a larger capacity?
Thanks

 

sweet project! not sure on the fuel cap. on those runners, but it is entirely possible that the 87 has a different setup. some things changed in 86 when 4runners began to differ from trucks a little more.

 

Thanks for the response. Does anyone know the capacity of the 85 vs. the 87?

 

:Bump:

 

Wow I havent posted on here in almost 2 months
Well I got my engine bay painted. At first I wasnt going to but the red started to get to me

 

wow scottie, looking great! its been a long while since i checked your thread. way to go and get er done. can't wait to see the finished results in black. very nice. keep it coming.

 

that grey is gonna look good on your runner. what kind of mods are you planning on doing to it?

 

Looking good. What brand paint you using?

 

Its actually tractor paint believe it or not. I get it cheap from my fathers work

 

So I finally got a rola roof rack. Its the basket type. Im looking to bolt it directly onto my fiberglass top. Wheres the best place to drill holes? Ive heard that theres steel going through the top in certain places. Does anyone have a diagram or anything that could help me decide where to drill?

 

hmm looks like im going to have to paint my undercarriage to!

 

Its makes you feel better after you do it lol
Anyone know about the roofrack question?

 

Its good to see you went ahead and painted the engine bay, good choice. Great build up by the way.
