So im sure this question is posted somewhere but im tired of looking. Im looking into regearing my thirds, and am trying to order the right ring and pinion. Can some one tell me the proper sizes for this 86 runner. I understand the rear is 8", but have herd mixed feelings about the front. Im looking at 4.88 at is site.

Im going to finally get started on my interior. Its super ugly and trashed. found some good parts of a 87 runner today. The build up continues!

 

Just found a pick of the old yota. I miss that girl!

 

nice motor, cant wait to get my new truck, gunna do pre much the same thing, but because im in canada i will have to use totally different parts suppliers which kinda sux but o well

 

yes the rear is an 8", the front is 7.5" i think. nice job on the motor!! it looks awsome. a quick ? though, did you replace the flex plate?

 

Thats a bummer. I was not aware that the parts were different in canada. Its an easy build really. 60% of my time was spent cleaning parts and waiting for machine shop parts. I truly recommend engbldr kits and injectors rebuilt by whitchhunter.

 

Thats the general consensus i believe i have been getting. As for the flex plates im embarrassed to say im not sure what that is. so im not sure. sorry.

 

Your build is looking great. Nice looking 89-91 truck you had. On the interior I was able to do alot of mine really cheap and real happy with the reuslts on my 88. I have it listed. Will do about the same on my 86.

As far as seats, I havent been able to find a cheap way of doing them. Looking forward to your build.

 

So last night i ordered a new carpet kit for the runner. So today im starting to clear stuff out and also might get some painting tomorrow.

Here are a few old pieces and some i found at the junkyard yesterday.


Old verses new found panels.






New seats i found. 25 buck a piece.


Having two kegorators in the shop tends to become a problem mid afternoon lol.





I will be looking forward to putting it all back together.

 

check this out. Just found a TJM bumper on craigslist for 295. anyone know if this will fit on my old 86?
