I'll have to figure out how to mount the box and will use it as a base for a future sleeping pattern. might see if I can extend the drawers so the two bigger ones go to the back seat
Nice additions! Will be interesting to see how you incorporate the drawers into your truck.
Thanks Hab..may be a little while till i figure out what to do with it. Too good of deal to pass up after pricing stuff many times to build something.
Had a little time to work on the 4Runner yesterday to make it 4WD before winter.
Found that the front output flange on the A340F Transfer case works like a Jeep Slip yoke.
I go and pull the stock output flange and ATF dumps out like crazy

To top that off I couldn't use the multi pattern flange because the spline shape/count is totally different and a small diameter
Little tidbit too is the stock flange is pinned with studs.
I ended have using the long slip driveshaft from the 81 after cutting 5" off the outside and 2" off the inside slip. Hopefully it will still be long enough to use when i finally get the duals put in the 4Runner
Hi y'all I just fixed my yota after her sitting for 8 months I am so excited to drive her again!! But I have a plan for her, to make her into an adventure rig! Something I can take a girl on a date in but then fine a spot of emptiness and just drive. The guy that I bought it from bought it from a guy who put a lift on her so I'm not sure what the lift is but it's running stock A arms and I need to upgrade to better ones any suggestions? What's the best after market A arms I can buy that aren't stock?
Cross fingers for length. Also, what is this...snow...you speak of?
(took the trash out tonight in my bare feets)
I am praying for a lot of white stuff...my fingers are crossed too!

A build thread piggybacked onto somebody else's thread? Nope.
I know Dropzone has a really interesting build and constantly makes us drool over his ideas and additions, but you'll have to start your own thread with your own title in the proper build-up section.
Good luck with your build and new thread and that's my advice.
Go back up to top of page; hit the (mumbo-jumbo) Section link, (then choose a different age range/forum topic if appropriate), but anyway at the list of all posts in that particular forum is a button on top left labeled "New Thread".

see above, thanks for helping keep this one clean
i have a pile of spare parts and left overs from the trekker. No LED aftermarket LED tail lights that i can find for 2nd gen 4runners and stock taillights even with bright LED replacement 1156 and 1157's leave a lot to be desired so decided to experiment
220* for 12 minutes did the trick
pretty much a waste of time...I was heating and separating the housings from the lenses since that is how you do it for headlights...well a set of trashed housings and some frustration i think,
Hey idiot why didn't you just cut out the back of the housing to mount the LED's (amber light for mock up). Won't need to do as big of hole for version 2.0 for the brake light
would have been time and money ahead if I would have done that the 1st time around.
so said screw it and ordered a new set of aftermarket housings off ebay since the last good set of housing I have has 25 year old lenses and what to keep one good set unmangled.
Also ordered a set of Clear LED brake lights since they should show through the red brake light better.
overall cost will be about $70 and lessons learned.
Version 2.0 should be done next week when stuff comes in
Ancient plastic or ancient plastic + heat? Either way, I'd debated asking if you were going to polish them because they are pretty dull. Guess you agreed.
Well, $70 for a shiny new restart and a lesson? Worse things could happen.
How do you like using those soft shackles. I thought about getting some but I'm not sure if I trust them. There is something about threading in a bolt that inspires confidence. LOL

i hear you, i will probably try one out in a week or so out at my parents to see how they work in a controlled environment. I probably have 12-15 D-rings that I have accumulated over the years.

yep, they are slowly becoming popular. I think you would always need a couple of steel shackles for contact on a vehicles recovery point (like hitch mounted shackle point)
