Will do Chef!!!
Dropzone thanks. Yes is is tough but I've noticed every pain in the ass thing I do has been ultra rewarding.
I have two landcruiser axles, a rust free chassis, 3.4 engine, and fibreglass fenders. I can't wait to scrape the rest together and get building.
New guy, thanks for stopping in. My house is almost done and I can take time to get back into my rig and this thread. I have more photos to go up. I'll get there.
All I know is that I'm never fully restoring a house alone again. I need to stop being the worker and start being a boss. It's a difficult transition. Wouldn't know what I know now if I hadn't though so I'm not complaining.

Mint 87 4Runner for sale in Wyoming.
My truck is on the back burner for awhile yet. Starting your own business is time consuming. We miss wheeling and will be getting things together to put her back together for a 3rd time in the coming months.
Until then have a good one fellas!

Paging Red_Wagon, you still in Chilliwack buddy? Our daughter and grandson live there, we go up every few months, I’ll drag the 4Runner up and we can check out some trails next time I come up.

I've been recovering from injury, building a business and collecting.
The bug is coming back. As many of you all know when times get lean our hobby gets put on a back burner and pushed from mind.
See you all more soon.
I've also got the long awaited photos on photobucket. Should I post them?
Also a question, should i make a new thread for the Red Wagon rebirth or post here?

Me and my buddy finished the regearing project. He tapped my diff breather holes for me and we did our own diff breathers with a small fuel line as the hosing.
Going camping for a bit but the next project is LSPV bracket lift and panhard drop bracket. I also need to fix my rear brakes. His vehicle is the next focus for a bit though since mine has been such a pain.
Got my stock skid plate sandblasted and painted yellow. Not sure I'll keep that colour though.
I've also eliminated my ADD system by swapping out the 89 4Runner axle tube and axle from our parts truck. Really happy with doing that job. That alone paid for my half of the cost of the parts rig.
I did have to get a new CV though, not an OEM one so I hope it holds. There definitely appears to be a left and right CV in these things.
Now to enjoy it a few days before taking off back to work.
That last one is my buddy, hero of the hour. He really made all this possible.
Cheers Colton!

Boys.... Update.
She's for sale. It's not a sad day..... I'm selling her as a deal with the wife. I'm getting a clean 1992 FJ80.
A lot has happened over the years and the 4Runner had to sit. Made a couple of babies and a scaffold company. I missed having a yota and the wife wants more kiddos.... She saw the extra row of seats and loved the 4Runner. I've had a few F series trucks for work and she really gets how capable the 4Runner was.
The FJ80 has 170k km on her. I pick her up Friday. At that point I'll have 5 trucks and the wife wants 2 gone. I'll post photos and create a new thread.
I'll also post my gnarly 1980 C70.
Look forward to my next 1992 project with you fellas.
I hope you are still around to the guys I knew and chatted with. New friends are always welcome.
