LOL.. Yea i don't care about dents/scratches too much.. Im really debating cutting off the top of my rig soon..

 

Well guys i took off my swing out tire carrier/ and yamaka roof rack.

They are both for sale. Make me an offer if you would like either.


I am soo damn tempted to start chopping. Almost started tonight, but decided not to.

 

what are you going to do when it rains??? Any plans for a cover

 

I would do something simlilar to this..




I just took off the swingout tire carrier and roof rack and it looks kinda clean. I may leave it ofr a bit.. Not gonna chop this weekend. Heard its suppost to rain on monday. Ill wait until it gets super hot weather.

Wow !!! very nice job on doing all that work on the 4runner , man there was alot of work .

Congradulations !!!

check out LcE for an SaS

 

What are you talking about???








so i am in the process of getting these chevy springs under the rear. still deciding if i want to run that 2" block or not. i don't want to but i need to get it under the truck to see if it will sit level without it. Ill work on it.

 

dude bro man! im still working on my rig...its pathetic. slow and steady builds the yota.

i think you may still have to cut those spring perches off the new axle and mount new ones on to compensate for the 3rd angled up...maybe not as bad as the coil perches though.

i found a trail that is disgusting... we should go hit it when we are done.

 

...but it looks like you already have em on there, sorry, i though those where the springs you wanted.

 

oh thats just showing the chevy pack.

 

Okay so what ive been up to lately.

My buddy Johnny is in the U.S Coast Guard stationed in Oregon. He saw my truck when i sas'd it before he left and weve been talking and he decided it was time to Sas his as well. So he got leave for a week and we got his truck done. So Johnny, I, and 85toy worked on it.



On to the pics.

This is how i received the axle at my house. Theres a bit of surface rust going on near the beach up there. :cut:


So after some cleaning was done we managed to get the axle to this.



For the yotatech crowd. When you decide to do the conversion or even just rebuilding your axle. If you want to get rid of the brake dust shield you can either pay $30 to buy an eliminator kit, or spend 5 minutes making your own. :chop:



So here is my buddy Johnny's truck.
An 88' single cab waiting to be :chop:















Don't worry we got him a new bumper too!














Ended up with the 5" tg sas kit up front and some stock 2wd ford f-150 springs in the rear.

Looks good. After a 30 minute test drive, he left for his 8hr drive back to his station in Oregon.

Made it there safely! So i guess all my welds were good and it seems we know what we are doing.

overall it turned out much nicer than mine, including the quality/appearances of my welds.




Thanks for serving Johnny! Happy to have helped you with that project.
:beer:

 

whats holding you up on the swap?



Any info on that trail?

 

Nice work!!!
Super clean
I still think that 4runner is one of my favorite builds!

 

Got the 4runner back on the ground tonight.

Need to finish up the brakes, need to find shocks, and need to see what my options are about my parking brake.

 

Damn, When Im ready to sas the taco Im coming to YOU !

But seriously.
How does she sit with the 63s ???

 

It sits good, i haven't been able to drive it yet though.
