That stinger tuned out really good, totally flows with your bumper design!

 

Thanks, I wanted it to look like it wasn't an after thought.

 

Are your services for hire? When I finally get around to starting work on my Runner I'm sure there are going to be more than a few projects I'd be willing to pay someone else to do...

 

I don't have enough time,for my own projects. Trying to finish up bike maintenance for this season before I hit the swap.

 

went to the Cove for some wheeling at Big Dogs Ice Breaker weekend. Had a blast despite rain all weekend, fighting with a tree(tree 1 Runner 0)




Also blew the brake master. I am officially done with lousy brakes, I'm going to hydroboost. I can honestly say that i have never been satisfied with any brake upgrade recommended on any Yota sight....supra brakes...too small, and park brake won't hold truck on any hill. Upgraded large MC from a early Tundra...not big enough for 4 discs. Taco front calipers, no idea if these are helping since my whole system is lacking stopping confidence. I will keep the Taco brakes for now(Tundra 6 lug calipers are bigger), but my whole brake system is getting revamped before the diesel goes in.
1. Hydroboost/Hyrdomax brake booster (GM or Bosch)
2. Late model Tundra/LC/Sequoia master cylinder OR RV MC that comes on Hydromax
3. Late model 4Runner/FJC OR early Tundra/LC/Sequoia(6lug) rear drum park brake and caliper combo found on newer Toyotas.

 

dang, sorry to hear about the body dammage. means your wheeling though!
I love my tundra brake swap. i haven't touched the rears yet (still looking at options) but my truck stops amazing with just the tundra brakes up front.

 

^^^ Exactly, my body damage is from offroad adventures, not mis-judging my street queen in a parking lot...haha.
tundra brakes, did you use the 1st Gen Tundra brakes? I believe they use the same mounting bolt spacing as the Taco brakes, but have a thicker rotor. Did you use the MC from the Tundra? Vac Booster?
rear brakes, I'm going to use some FJCruiser/4Runner Disc/drum setup for the rear, as my Supra brakes are very corroded and seizing. I'd like to go T-Case brake, but that is still going to take a bit of fabbing.

 

Sub'd for future 4WU research.

 

4WU is the shizzle.

 

That's what it looks like, any chance you have a picture showing clearance between your oil pan and upper link mount? I'm wondering if I'm goin to have an issue with clearance and the V-8 oil pan.

 

What v8? If there isn't a shot with the upper link and oil pan then I may not have a pic. Have you checked the 4WU website/forum?

 

Fuel injected 302 out of a 95 Mustang. I'll check around more for a photo.

 

Shouldn't be a clearance issue but what do I know. Go to the 4WU forum or contact them directly. Really a super company.
My upper link limitation was the motor mount and clutch slave. There is some wiggle room when fitting it.

 

Love the build RBX. Just looked through all 96 pages and realized my rear bumper will be very similar to yours once complete. Keep up the good work.

 

Thank you... It's been slow going here since I've been working on the LoLux (92 2wd pickup) which is my DD. And since the DD overheated(puked the pump bearing out with all of the coolant) I need to to fix that and then decided to keep the truck and spend some time and money on much needed maintenance.
So time and effort has gone into the DD so I can begin the diesel swap in the 4Runner without worry that the LoLux needing emergency repairs for a while. I change the oil on her as scheduled, but everything else I neglect. She has been beat on pretty hard for 100k miles, and now she's going to get some upgrades/mods and TLC.

So far the 92 Pickup has gotten:
-New Water pump
-New Spark plugs
-New thermostat
-New belts
-New 2-1/4" exhaust complete
-New bushings on all suspension
-New Shocks all 4 corners
-4Runner front conversion, lights, grill, and fenders
-Mustang 17" Bullet wheels and tires, nice wide meats
-Added rear sway-bar
-Fabbed rear bumper replacement

Next to do:
Bucket seats
Electric radiator fan
Center console for bucket seats
Tint
Short throw shifter (gonna fab something up)
LSD for rear OR hack in an ISR
cruise control
electric windows/doors

 

Looks like my D4D will be in before yours. Good luck on the builds!

 

Oh now this sounds like a challenge. Seriously though, thanks for the update.

 

For Sale... all aluminum 3-Row Radiator for 4WD Toyota Pickup/4Runner 84-95, may fit other models, BUT WILL NOT FIT 2WD Pickup....

Short story, bought it hoping to fit it in my 2wd Pickup, but it is too tall since the 2wd has suspension clearance issues in the front....This radiator is actually deeper/taller then stock, so it will hang down slightly past the lower cross brace on the frame, but still uses the factory mounting points. So I need to return the radiator, or sell it.

I paid $145 for the radiator, and just looking to get my money back. I will ship on your dime, or I'd be happy to meet somewhere in the Baltimore/DC area.

Contact me ASAP, i need to recoup the funds to buy another radiator.

 

You might try posting it on t4r.org as well. Seems to be more traffic over there these days.
