picked up a 94 4runner its going to be kind of a slow build at first


it is an auto but I still have my old 90 4runner 5spd so ill be 5spd swapping it as well


so far I have 5" tg hd front leafs built Toyota axles with 5.29's spool rear open front an 36" iroks an v6 to gear driven tcase

 

Sounds like a good project. Pics?

 

ill get some pic's asap


I cant wait to really dig into this 4runner if I don't get this DD im looking at im just going to put the money I was going to spend on that into the 4runner

 

been doin general maintenance stuff


trans filter/fluid auto shifts better
changed oil stuff was really dark
did tune up found out the PO put a k&n air filter


put my manual hubs instead of the flanges figured couldn't hurt till I do the sas


I seam to have a surge when driving an every so often I get a stumble when taking off from a stop

 

Welcome to Yotatech and looking forward to seeing your project. A little at a time and it will happen and get completed. Every little bit is a step is a step closer.

 

Sounds like a cool project! Where are the pics!

 

ill get pic's up as soon as I can


have to replace my cell dropped it the day I picked up the 4runner when I was loading it onto the trailer

 

Welcome, sounds fun.

 

Yah, when you have a build thread people demand pics!

 

 

ill get pic's when im able to


right now its a stock 94 4runner on near new ranger a/t thunderer 30/9.5r15 has 4.88 code think its a forest green with just about every option though the factory cd/tape worked one time after I got it


don't think its ever been offroad till I almost got it stuck in my back yard I can see the markings on the frame from the factory it's even had the factory spare tire that has never been dropped think the date code on the tire was mar 4th 1993

 

see if this works

 

yay figured it out

 

 

im going to try chevy 3/4 or 1ton rear 63's 2" blocks an 7" shackles see were it sits if it takes any more then that to match my 5" front springs ill just buy rear springs


lol it was all going good with the front end till I found out the Tacoma I got the calipers/rotors off of at some point was swapped to the bigger brakes so I ended up with the 16+ brakes were as the Tacoma should have had the brakes for 15's

 

after I get the susp swap done my next tax money is going to a 3.4 / 5spd swap cant wait


ive been waiting for 4yrs to get going on another 4runner I cant wait to get it done

 

think I need to move my steering box


an got board took some pic's cant do anything more till I get my paycheck

 

had to change calipers/rotors they didn't fit 15inch wheels an I didn't notice last yr when I got the calipers/rotors some one at some point swapped bigger brakes on the truck I got them off of


so today went to the pnp found a 99 taco with the correct calipers/rotors for 15inch wheels then went to the auto parts store got brake hoses for 99 Tacoma an 2 rear brake hoses for 4runner to extend the hoses


the 4runner rear hoses are 14 5/8 inches

an the front hoses for the 99 Tacoma 22 1/2 inches

 

yay wheels fit with the 99 taco brakes had to grind alittle bit around the wheel mating surface but they clear a lot better then the others I had on there


ill keep the other calipers/rotors for when I need new tires ill switch to 17's an either 36's or 37's tires

 

well that was to much fun driving around my back yard with lifted front stock rear kinda reminds me of a English bulldog
