sorry for the blurry pic, i think my camera is

 

Looks good dude...now you gotta get some SAS on that sucker!

And while you are at it, you'd better check under those chrome fender flare thingies...that is what rusted out my rear fenders....but I would have trimmed them anyway, but you don't want any rust to grow there!

 

there is NO rust on this thing, its a cali truck with 1 owner (plus ) me, it doesnt even have a dent!!!

 

You won't see the rust under the chrome flares while they are on there silly!

 

oh i know, i was just saying since there is no rust there probobly isnt any under those, im going to be taking those things off, the last thing i need is chrome!

 

Not to burst your bubble, but it's under the chrome fender trim that rust first begins on the gen-1 4runners. I've owned about 6 in my life, and the ones that a person would argue were completely rust free had nothing left holding the rear 1/4 to the fenderwell area - but that was covered by the chrome trim.

Definitely take that trim off, inspect, clean and repair where necessary.

Then do the same thing under the tailgate window trim (pull it up from the outside and check for rust along the top of the gate).

Anyway - truck looks very clean... But Brian is definitely correct about that chrome trim..

 

thanks for the warning, will check after the SAS

 

SAS is on its way!!! one of the frame tubes is a little off so i will be redoing it, but other than that its going good. got this far in a couple hours



and a teaser of the axle

 

Looks good...keep us posted w/ pics!

 

finally got some time to work on it today. got all the hangers cut off and now i just need to grind all the leftover. the axle is mounted brakes and steering just need to be hooked up!!!!

 

You got the diff on the wrong side!































J/K

I hated all that grinding...took forever until we broke out the big 9" grinder...

Take your time and do it right.

I'm up to my armpits in wires tonight, wiring up things to the rear Blue Sea fuse box, including installing a hidden kill switch!

 

u scared me for a second....haha good luck with those wires, im going to be making a secret anti theft thing and im gunna be filled up with wires to!!! its gunna suck, but my truck wont be going anywhere

 

Looks good Jared, When I get more money I am thinking of doing an SAS on my 94 runner. Its not as hard as it looks...... or is it,lol.

 

Wow Jared, that looks excellent so far, keep up the good work.

 

just finished the rear lift, i love this thing, it is awesome!!!! just need to finish som grinding and put the shocks on and this beast is done FOR NOW!!!!

PICTURES

 

 

look again the E brake rubs against the leaf since i had the axle rotated..i have to figure that out. as of friday i will have a hobart 180 mig welder!!!!

 

It looks great that looks like a mighty clean runner you found yourself. Excelent choice on the tires!!!

 

got my welder and have been doing some welding on the shock hoops. the welds arnt the best but they will hold for sure. im still deciding how i want to run the rear shocks, i know i want to do the / \ setup, but on driver side the shock will hit the exaust pipe and i will have to cut it off (need a new muffler anyways) and the passenger side it will hit the e- brake cable..... so many decisions!!!!!!!

 

WOW! I just saw the pics...that thing looks familiar...sept it is red...

Looks good! (except for that red paint!)
