Yes i am slacking on pics!! But the fuel line leak was the steel line along the frame. So as of March 30th i officially started the runner!! Still have to mess with the tps and etc... ok ill get some pics!!!

 

I'm so happy for you that you go it running. We will be cruising the town soon enough looking for week xj's and wranglers that need pulled out. Hahaha.

I'm posting some pics for you since your slacking. Haha





It's looking great buddy. Really coming together.

 

Thanks for posting the pics Mark!! Today i will be tracking down an oil leak thats coming from the crossover plate on the back of the head. Hopefully its not to tough to fix. I washed it for the first time in over 13 years that helped. Also the alternator was not charging and also making the auto trans temp light stay on. I robbed the alternator off the 85 truck and fixed that problem.Also had to rob the starter too which was bad (by the way auto and manual starters are interchangeable). The back window works with the key or the switch, i still need to go through the lights and fix some faulty bulbs.When i started it for the first time it blew tons of mice remains and nests out the tailpipe then burnt the rest of them out!!haha. The transmission seems to be find but i wont know til i take it out on the road. I still need to replace the l trim on the top thats rusted with kyles. Hes also giving me some more parts including the fuel sending unit. It definetly needs an alignment after the bj lift.

 

Hey I have another alternator that I bought for my last truck. It was for the 22r motor. That I installed and then turned out nothing was wrong eith my original. My bracket was jist broken. So we swapped tbe old one back in and I have kept the new alternator all this time.

Not sure if your truck uses the same but if you're intrested in it, rather then buying another, I don't mind selling you mine for $30. Its still new. I got it off Pepboys back in 2008 and paid somewhere about $120ish; been a while. And I've kept it stored on the top of my closet all this time.

Just don't know anybody with a 22r motor out here. Let me know.

 

That 4runner sure is coming along man, she looks great I actually love the stock paint job to be honest I've never seen another like it. Happy she is running man keep up the great work.

 

Dude ! I wish I was there to see the flurry of mice best remains comin out of the tail pipe. Hahaha.

Agreed on the color scheme. I have Never seen another one like it. Looks great!!

 

Yea i have never seen so much mice crap come out of an exhaust pipe. and it was burning on fire, smelt like holy hell.

Thanks for all your help Mark. Greatly appreciated as well as everyone else too.

 

That alternator will also work on your engine so you should keep it as a backup!!By the way your runner is looking great and i always like watching your progress!! Still wish i would of been with you guys at salton sea.

 

Really? 22r and 3vze alternators are interchangeable? Thank you man. I'm subbed to too many threads and to try to keep up with each and every one of them is hard lol so thanks for following/enjoying the progress. I'm sure you can see all the fun we've had doing it! You might be subbing to another thread soon because we might be getting another truck joining the toyota family. My older brother might be buying Jred151's 1989 Toyota 4runner with Blazeland Long Travel, ARB bumper, and off road lights in the front. It's pretty nice.

Good to hear you got it running. When I first started mine and all of the crap that came out of the exhaust was surprising. I am sure the mice didnt like their evection notice.hehe

 

Whoops!! I thought you had a 22re, forgot.No i dont beleive the 3vze and 22r alternators are interchangeable!!

 

Haha Thanks Terry!

No they are also not getting there deposit back!!

 

Nice work getting that old girl back up and running. What's next for it?

 

fix the rust!! sliders,rear locker,just put rs 5000s on rear.also want chevy 63s.

 

How do you like the Ranchos? And how much lift from stock will the 63s give you?

 

Looking good man. The biggest part of the process is done.

 

How would u go about fixing the rust? Are there replacement panels available or do u have to make ur own from another runner? The 63' s outta be sweet. I went with 56" ford springs on my truck cuz I'm cutting the frame frame off behind the spring hangers. I'm excited to try them out but have a whole bunch more stuff to do before its back on the road. What locker are u going with?

 

The trucks not running right yet so i cannot give you any opinion on the shocks. I got a good deal on them so whatever, i just wanna go wheel it. The 63s are a longer spring than stock and ive never installed them on a toyota or seen it done other than on here in pics but with the right shacle setup it seems to give you alotta droop articulation.

And chevy springs are cheap at a junkyard. easy mod

 

Thanks jason!!Your right!! I hope to have more pics soon to keep you guys updated!!

 

Its definitely cheaper then buying brand new leaf springs hahaha. $1200 for ones hurts a lot. Plus that's money you can spend on brand new front and rear bumpers.
