Projekt Wheeler 88 4Runner Build

Last month i bought a 1988 4Runner for a daily driver and a wheeler project.
I knew it had some rust and damage and needed a new clutch and radiator
I didn't know it needed a new head gasket,timing chain,carpet the list gos on so I decided to just rebuild the motor. Little did i know the put a 20r high compression motor in it and converted it to EFI. so now motors almost done and Ive made a few Modifications here is my progress






dents in the back and the window motor was connected by extension cords



moldy carpet and garbage everywhere




So I Tore out all the carpet and herculined the whole interior



And some new BFG KM2s 33sx12.50



Ill Post more when we drop the motor in. in a couple days

Sweet!! Should be a fun project. Any kind of lift on her?
I just got the same set of shoes also!! Although they might be too wide: 10.5 would have been better but they're on backorder.
