Aaron17's 1986 4Runner Build Up Thread
#22
Well, i finally got around to finishing the bumper mounts. Work has been eating up alot of my quality time with the 4runner but we were recently knocked back to a 4 day week at the shop so i can finally get some stuff done. I also have a new camshaft from engnbldr on the way so i can turn my 32's a little easier.
I also aquired a new 220v stick/tig welder and a drill press for my garage, my fab projects should go a little more smothely now. More pics on the way.

I finally got around to posting a pic of the finished bumper, I also installed my new crawler cam from engnbldr and fixed my saggy rear end with some add-a-leafs. There wasn't really anything that was picture worthy other than the valve cover and intake manifold that i painted red.

I'm also going to look at a rebuilt tranny tomorrow for $200, other than that im looking for some 32" BFG m/t's and maybe a set of headers. Spring is comming up fast!!

Well, today im going to take the bumper off and beef up the crossmember with some 1/4" plate. I would have done it before but i didn't have the material. While i have the bumper off ill get the measurements for you guys.

Well i finished getting the frame beefed up today but i couldn't find my camera so no pictures this time.And I was thinking about making a grill guard to go on my bumper, but i dont have a tube bender and i dont really want to have to buy a bunch of elbows, so i think i might make one out of 1"x1" square tubing. anyway heres my design, what do you think?

Im also going to get those measurements on here today, i have the tape measure on my computer desk ready to go lol.
