I wouldnt call this a build-up thread because there are not many details in the build just pics through the first year of owning my first toyota..

Last year I traded my 86' GMC Jimmy with a blown motor for a perfect running rust/dent free 88' Toyota 4runner... here are a few pics of it through the past year.
this is the only picture I have of it before any work was done to it. She came with a superlift 4in lift and 35in mud terrains

Since this was going to be my wheeling/DD rig I needed to ditch the stock IFS suspension for something stronger and more flexible



Old suspension out!!!


Trail-Gear Solid axle swap kit..

In with the new!!!




I installed Trail-gear high-steer crossover steering on it but I do not have pics...
The aftermath this was before the new paintjob.
