Hey guys. I just joined the 4runner world back in feb. so its pretty sweet.
Ill start off with the specs stock
-1993
-blue
-31s
-5 speed
-3.0
-a dead 5th cylinder. due to intake valve!
-Price?= 800$ (:

That was it basic as basic gets.
Now what have i done to it so far?
-4in trail master lift
-rebuilding top end of my 3.0

What i want to do?
-front and rear bumpers (front winch as i have a winch in my gararge sitting)
-rock sliders
-fuel revolver wheels with a set of 35s of some sort
-maybe future 3.4 swap
-new paint job (gloss jet black with a metal flake)
-Anything else? speak up!

Now who cares about all the talk. pics! (some pics are not uploading to bear with me please)

My wheeler/daily before this 94 cherokee 4.0 highout put, auto, 4.5in lift 32s etc etc


During my rear lift (note- that log of wood is only there as another "jack" i have 2 more under the frame rails)


This is my 3vze head which has the #5 intake valve burnt like no other


More pictures will come along as time advances. This website has been helping a lot!

 

hey, there is nothing wrong with embracing your inner redneck and using a piece of wood as a little help lol but anyways, for 800, i would have bought it also!! good luck and have fun with your build and whatever else you plan to do with your runner! and welcome to yotatech!!

 

Lol 4.5" lift to clear 32s

Where's the pics of the rest of the truck?! I (we) want to see the $800 pre-beast! Good luck with the build.

 

Small update!
Parts are ordered from Engnbldr!
PArts would be valve grind gasket set, timing belt, and head bolts!!
All i need now is a fly wheel, and a water pump! about 110$
Im going to do air flow volume and take it up a click! going to lean it out a click.
Also i am doing my cross over elimination. Ive got my driver side manifold crossover capped and welded! Just going to snake it down close to the motor/trans, and go under the tranny but weld a flange on so it can be removed!

 

My exact thoughts...silly Jeeps

 

Guess what i finally did! Got more pics uploaded!
First few days!

Little mud never hurt anything

Lift stance. Needs tires horribly!


Motors comin out!

Burnt exhaust valve...

So shiny!

My personal mess (:

 

Small update.
Grandpa went ahead and bought me a fly wheel and water pump! (: still waiting for funds to transfer so i can order my timing belt, headbolts, and gaskets!
My crossover delete is coming along well too. I will be running a borla turbo i think sometime in the future!

 

Just ordered all my parts!! Should get them on wed!! cant wait! Plus my crossover is almost done! I got the block off welded on, and the down pipe on the passenger side header welded up. All i need is 4 exhaust flanges ( to remove for a clutch job lets say) and some more tubing! so stoked!!

 

Parts are now being shipped!
Got some more exhaust tubing today and some flanges!
So close to getting done. I got the flange welded into my pain pipe today!

 

Keep it up! Looks like its coming along pretty quick like.

 

It runs!!!! Need to do exhaust and ill be good!!!

 

That was quick. Did the valve get burnt or did something get inside the cylinder and cause some damage. Defenitley think you found the problem on that. Runner is looking good.

 

It was just burnt.so easy to do. Well my exhaust got messed up..so im gonna give my local exhaust shop my cat in trade for my custom work! So easy! My paycheck I should have a winch bumper. Unless I go with something else haha

 

So runner is running perfecttttttttttttt! besides 1 thing! if i let it set for like 4 minutes and start it, itll idle and die... I dunno vac line? Other then that perfecttt!
Also my buddy gave me his set of 33/12.5/15 on alum wheels! sweet!! Makes it look so much better then those pizza cutters!
