Well, as some of you know gibby's 4 runner, its grown up in the last couple of years (I remember those, ha ha ha days,lol). And as many of you know who have the great 3.0 v6, well, they really are turds, and expensive to fix, if they ever go BOOM. Well, gibby picked up a few new goodies for his rig, and the time has come. On sunday he drug it up to my shop, and the time has come to KILL IT (ok, the powertain anyways,lol)...

Damn, its BIG (I remember those days when, ha ha ha, I won't tell,lol)..

 

Look at that cute, little turd of a motor
Its NOT that bad of a motor, its just not a great powerhouse by any means



And, here are the new goodies

nicely built SB350, Th350 tranny, 203 doubler(ops, forgot it in the back room) and a 205 t-case..

 

OMG!!!! I have found mud in places I have never seen before





The next couple of days will be spent getting the old stuff removed, cleaned(I have not been this dirty in a long time) and then prepping the frame....

 

Hey, you flattened my tires?

 

Nice! Can't wait to see more!

 

coolness

 

Lookin' Good! (Let us know when the motor is out. One person's turd is anothers heart transplant)


Gibby, they're not flat........just aired down!

 

and they're aired down cause its too high!!!!! hahahahaha if there is such a thing!

 

scarey, huh

 

Gib's rig has always been on my top 5 cool runnas, now it is gonna be even cooler...

 

Ok, the last 2 nights have been spent making a HUGE mess of myself, and the floor of my poor shop,lol.... Well, I finally got the tranny out, and so that leaves this next






And here is the end result



So tommorow I am dragging it out of the shop, going to clean what mud didn't fall on me off, and start preping the frame for the new goods.....

I guess te answer would be - now!

It would be great if you could pick up the goods this weekend. Crash can likely use the room.

 

I don't know, they make a great coffee cable

 

I might be goin up there solo.......Dave may be on "snow watch" at SEATAC. I would love to see crash's shop. Still need his addy and/or phone #. Send me a PM.

 

Mike, I've misplaced your contact info. It's around somewhere. Could you PM Yoda with your info. He'll be picking up the motor, transmission and exaust.

 

i would kill for a shop like that, i do all my work outside

nice looking 4runner, and a gorgeous motor, almost too pretty to get all muddy. . . almost being the key word

 

why didn't you wash it off before you started?

 

I spent 2 hours with the power washer before it was started. All that mud is up, under, in and around parts that the power washer simply couldn't get to.

I'm going to have to start parking that thing on it's side so that I can get the bottom side of it cleaned out better. Not to mention cleaning it out more often!

 

Too many nooks and crannys with everything there...

 

Can anybody ID this ha ha ha
