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

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

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!

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.

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.
