daaanng, lookin sick. cant wait to see it finished up.

 

those clamps are awesome i just got a few for christmas

 

sweet

 

well i havent updated for a while because i havent really had time to work on the 4runner, with all the snow and floods i have been having to use it as a dd and i was in canada all weekend, but anyways ive been gathering parts and i have pretty much everything to hook up the fuel cell i got my straps for mounting the shovel and axe i got some ammo cans to put on the bed also and i pretty much have everything i need to rebuild the 8274 that ill be putting in the back. so heres a pic of my parts pile

ill probly start working on hooking up the fuel cell this weekend

 

I'm doing the same thing, PM'd you with some questions.

 

well i finally made some progress. got the ammo cans mounted, mounted fuel pump, plumbed the fuel pump, put some rear lights on, and put on the axe/shovel mounts.
i decided to put the fuel cell breather filter inside an ammo can so it would stay clean and dry. heres some pics

 

Geeeeoooooooorgeous!!! I love the truck man! As I was reading I kept thinking "Dangit, he cut the bed off! Why?! WHY?!", but now I really like what you've done!!! I'd love to do something like this to my truck but my top is already removable, guess I gotta find a newer truck

 

haha thanks man

 

So when i drive up to washington your gonna help me with mine right?

It looks good. I really like this one.

The more i look at it the more i wanna do this to mine.

 

thanks alot i really appreciate all the comments and sure id love to help you haha
well today after work i got a few things done, removed the stock tank and got rid of all the charcoal canister crap. tomorrow i should be able to get everything plumbed and wire the fuel pump so hopefully i did everything right.

 

I think im goning to leave mine stock for now, but if i damage the rear or screw up the back glass enough ill be tempted to cut it up.

 

I've got a hammer, I could help tempt you

 

Lol.

Would you also happen to have a the back half of a truck bed and a welder for me?


/thread jack

 

^^ i could probably help you out with those

 

today i got everything plumbed, and finally put my shovel mount on. heres some pics of how the fuel lines are ran in case anyone wanted to know how i adapted everything


and the shovel mount

now all i have to do is wire the fuel pump and put some gas in the fuel cell and hope that everythings works the way it should. Oh and i should hopefully be getting some more tube to do the rest of the exo within a couple weeks so thats my next project

 

That's an awesome build up.

 

well today i got the fuel cell and everything finished. it only took about 3 hours to solve a slight problem. what happened was the tank had the labels switched around for the return and pickup, i figured this out after checking the fuel pump to see if that was bad, and after checking every hose to make sure they werent plugged, that was a pain in the ass. so theres a lesson to anyone installing a fuel cell, you cant trust the labels!!

 

what do you guys think about my new rubber??

haha just kidding i sold my old wheels and ordered some black steels and kore weld on beadlocks, thats the next project

 

well on the plus side, you wont have to worry about rubbing

 

thats what i was thinking^^
