Iron eagle was a great movie, (part one). The song only was played when Doug Masters ENGAGED in "Air Tactic Combat Situations" ...So I guess Doug, wait! "subaruwrx88011" Should play one vision on his trucks radio. When he engages in combat
i.e (4x4).....
or unless "Chappy"
wait! I mean Louis Gossett Jr. ORDERS HIM TOO PLAY IT! lol

I plan on keeping the silver one until the "Iron Eagle" is done. I will probably sell it to someone that wants to rebuild it.
In all honesty (flame suit on) I haven't been 4-wheeling in Las Cruces yet. The silver truck has been by first 4x4 in Las Cruces and when I bought it the 4-wheel drive didn't work. A buddy of mine fixed it a couple of weeks ago (the problem was 5.29 in the rear and 4.10 in the front, the idiot I bought it from didn't change the front gears also). It now has 5.29s in the front and rear. I haven't had time lately to go out but I will in the next couple of weeks.
I did do alot of 4 wheeling in Farmington, NM when I was in high school though

Wow. It has been a while. A little update for you guys.
This last semester has been freakin crazy but I now have a Masters degree in Business Administration. The bad part about that is that I have had 0 time to work on the "Iron Eagle".
Also the silver truck started running really crappy. My buddy and I thought it was a bad 4 clyninder valve (good compression on all cylinders but when the spark plug wire was pulled from clynider 4 it ran completely the same). So....I bought a new head for it and am almost done putting it back together. Hopefully that fixes it (plus it has a brand new timing belt).
I have decided to go with a 5vz. For one, it looks like a challenge, has decent power and if I need more I can always TRD supercharge it.
I am looking for motor mounts for it. I figured advance adapters would have some for the swap but I couldn't find any.
I almost have the whole body off of the frame. The emergency brake is giving me trouble. After that I am going to move the frame and axles to my garage so I can start cleaning and buliding

Since you renamed my title from "Iron Eagle Build" to "1985 Toyota 4Runner Build-Up" (don't know why you did that), can you please delete "4Runner" and replace with "Truck". I am not building a 4Runner and it is specified in my first post.
