Jamesfkndeans' 1987 4runner build
 
So this will be a slow build as it is my daily driver. Just felt like getting my name out and future plans. So I bought a 88 runner a few years ago and started tinkering with it and got the Yota bug, blew the 3.0 up and kind of just let it rot in my backyard until I found a sweet deal on my "new to me" 87 runner. The 87 is nice, brand new 31" tires 22re sr5 it all works and still has the factory sunroof cover! :banger: however has some cancer coming around that I don't like. I was planning on fixing all the rust and dings, stretching my rear wheel well back(saw a thread on pirate) and rino line my whole interior, but my dilemma is I dd this thing and would rather not have it down days at a time. Well I still have my 88 sr5 sitting in my backyard, dent free and rust free, so I plan on building that body all up and doing a body swap in a weekend. You may be thinking why not drive the 87 into the ground and build the 88, well the frame on the 88 isn't the best, has a crappy blown 3.0 and I feel I can pull that body off and sell everything else to afford to build the body like I want. So after all the body stuff I plan on doing a sas, dual ultimates and armor. Then later down in life I also plan on doing a 1uz swap we will see how that turns out. Well that's about it for now I will get pictures up as soon as I can take some better ones with my camera. Like to know anyones inputs on what you think sofar.

Small update,
Swapped my lame auto hubs for my manual aisin hubs and did a tune up, wow what a difference 280k and a tune up made it feel new again. Still no pics has been pouring here for a good week now waiting for the snow.
