That engine looks like it belongs in my 4Runner with all the yellow on it!

 

our will probly look somwhat like twins when I get that far you beat me to the yellow body color.

 

thanks mark for the first time in along time I feal like I got somthing done lol.

 

Hey, Brian(swimmer)..... Want the part numbers for the OME shocks? hahaha. They're yellow too! Then, you could put all yellow Poly Bushings in there, .....hmmmm, maybe some Yellow paint on the slave cyl and other parts like that(starter?) ...you'll then really need to name it "Bumble Bee".... Dangit, there is already a Pro-4x4 Toyota out there named that! lol.

 

will you please stop giveing out my plans befor I get to them lol.

 

Oops, sorry! lol. Zzzzzzzzip! Brian knows I'm just kidding, too. Well, kinda....meaning, "I'm not making fun"... I really DO like his rig, the color, etc. Can't wait to see yours come together, Jason!

Mark

 

Damn you! Another yellow 4Runner...

 

that has been my plan for awhile but I dont have the paint bought yet.

 

Jason the runner sounds like it is coming along pretty good. I am working on an '86 too. I call her Ole' Blue. recently got all fiberglass panels from toyotafiberglass.com. got all the parts, then found that noone wanted to touch the body work. Like you I don't have the time or facility to work on it much. found a local guy to install the 'glass, just waitin on the cash. picked up some new to me wheels, and a header recently. Got a ton of parts gathered up, but time, space, and cash keeps me from progress. Gonna watch your build for inspiration. thanks.

 

Glad to hear it! It will be nice to have another yellow buddy on here!

What are your plans?

 

I am so thankful that I do have a shop to work in but it in its self is still a progect lol. from what I can see I like the looks of yours.

 

glad your ok with it I would hate to have to rethink the whole paint scheeme after all that work on the engine haha. my plans well big ones im wanting a very capable trail truck that looks realy realy diferant I.E. the detail on the engine

 

eric it looks like we might have the same new to us wheels cant realy tell what you got but looks like they may be the same.

 

last pic before fiberglass front fenders. and updated mirrors.
The new-to-me wheels are Eagle alloys. Been wanting some of those for a long time. Trying to make it kinda "retro". Got 4" suspension lift, dual shock mounts front and rear and a rear truss from a '91 that I built years ago. Long way to go. If you need some parts I might have something. I do have a poly body mount kit never installed, if you are not gonna install a body lift.

 

NICE, Eric! Love that color.....had an 86 myself, same color.....Short bed though, not T4R.

 

nice rig eric, my wheels are more like american raceing outlaw 2s our somthing close to it. I know alot of people think they are realy old school but I like them and they were cheap lol. oh and no plans for a body lift at the moment anyway.

 

well with an unexpected day at home I got alot done, Im am realy happy with the way this body work is turning out I know its not gonna be perfect but its as close as I can get it and its somthing I have always wanted to try.

 

Hello Jason...Bodywork is intimidating at first. Just like anything else. Just got to jump in there and do it. It takes practice and patience. I been doing my own lately. Some I cant find the dents even when I knew where they were. Other dents, well.... still got a ways to go. Hang in there.

 

I just wish I had alittle more time to work on it seems like about the time I get started its time to go back to work lol.
