Moze is that a chrome grill leaning against your newly acquired parts truck

 

It is Indeed! I'm planning on cleaning it up and probably selling it if anyone needs it more than me. Was gonna use it for a spare in case mine gets smashed, but I'm willing to let it go if anyone wants it, for a reasonable price. i should note though, that it doesn't have the "TOYOTA" emblem

 

I'm for sure an anybody LOL. Is it in pretty good shape?

 

.....that's quite a drive for a shell, buddy! lol.

 

Oh what's a few thousand miles when its for yota parts, actually I thought maybe you could pick it up for me and bring it when you come to help our put my engine back in, you did say you were gonna help with that right? Jk

 

Hahahaha... HEY, ...seriously, if I was over there, even NEAR, I'd help, HOMIE! lol. You're doing an engine? hehehe, jk.

 

lol, dunno if the drive is worth it for a few dash parts and a chrome grill. But If I can find a oddly shaped enough box and lots of bubble wrap I can have it shipped maybe? O.o

 

Seriously moze depending on where your at in Cali I might get close enough to pick it up I'm out that way all the time.

 

Well, I'm willing to travel a little bit if you'd rather meet somewhere. I live smack in the middle of the Mojave Desert, but Lancaster, Tehachepi and Bakersfield are within driving distance. I'm sure we can arrange something. still gotta go through everything in the parts truck and decide what I want and whats goin up for sale. I'll make a list of for-sale parts once I do

 

Also, as an update: Still not sure if I'm gonna go blazeland or total chaos, but I DO know I'll be using F.O.A. coilover shocks, and we also know for a fact that the chevy 63's will be going in the rear. Dunno if axle wrap will be an issue, and I'll have to configure a custom shock mounting system for the rear, but I've seen some good ideas around the forums. Anyone know the OPTIMUM angle to mount shocks for rear chevy 63's on a first gen 4runner?

 

Well, after fighting with A Suzuki Samurai project for hours and hours because the buyer was coming tomorrow to pick it up...we discovered that the transmission might be toast...but thats for another website...

Before we had to deal with that nightmare, we DID manage to finally finish the tube fenders!
*DRUM ROLL* And now, the moment you've ALL been waiting for! Ta-Daaa!
Left side complete!


Right side complete!


Close -up view:

 

Moze those look so freaking cool.

 

thos look great

 

those are awesome

 

Very cool, man! Now, do me a favor.............. PUT A BUMPER ON THAT THANG! LOL! lol. Jk, what I mean is, ... a TG bumper or whatever you build I'm SURE will complete that front end SUMP'N FIERCE!

 

Back to the grill LOL I get across 58 quite often, not being pushy just throwin that in LOL. I'm with chef a bumper would sure finish off that front end.

 

The 58 works fine, I could get to Mojave, or Tehachapi pretty easily. Let me know when your headed to either of those places and I'll have a truck bed of parts for ya to go through

Don't worry guys, I'm totally with you on the bumper thing. I won't be bolting any marlin crawler or TG pre-fabbed bumpers though, cause we still have 20ft of DOM tubing to play with, and a rough design for it already. Just waiting until my Fab-buddy feels like tackling it, mostly cause hes constantly working on his own rig, so his personal project takes priority. And by rig, I mean RIG! His Bronco II (or whats left of it) is one SERIOUS crawler! I mean, like, has-a-good-chance-of-dominating-the-king-of-the-hammers-race kind of serious, lol

According to him though, hes willing to get it done within a couple weeks or so. Definitely before the end of June, I'll have a new completely custom tube bumper!

Then, after that, I'll pretty much HAVE to get the LT kit to go with the new pre-runner inspired front end.

 

I'm working, well kinda, what in the world are you doing this time of day, and I will let you know when I'm headed that way

 

Despite the long weekend, I don't have much of an update. Didn't get one thing done on the runner because I was at the gun range for 3-days straight volunteering and shooting in the Biggest local handgun competition of the year. I also met, and am now with, a very great girl! So it was still a great weekend!

Haven't heard back from my fab buddy whether he wants to do the bumper this weekend or not, but theres still plenty I can do until then. Progress has slowed down a bit but the rigs still coming along! And, don't worry guys, I told the new flame that most of my devotion is still towards my toyota

 

Gun range for 3 days I'm so jealous I've got three new guns that I haven't put a shell in yet, Not even the .380 I bought my wife foe mother's day. Maybe the new girl will get out there and give ya a hand on the yota. Glad to hear your good news.
