Well a long awaited next victim "drum roll please"



beautiful red snapper the latest ride a 86 4 runnah. :king:






It has a little rust and but guess what the rear tail gate electric window actually works it has 136,000 miles on it.
The interior is cherry the carpet looks great in it.
Stock for a little while....

Just admiring it..




It's been two years since I was offroadin I feel like crying like I have been stranded on a desert isle...

Ok enough with the emotions....




My g/f posing next to it I couldn't have gotten here without her...



Anyways scored a set of 4 35x12.50 bfg(pre KM)tires with 1/2 tread mounted on 15x10 AR chrome rims for $180.
I'll need a body lift before that though lol.
Anyways Peace....

Shad! long time man! looks like things are looking up for ya's. good to see.

It took a while, but it appears that things are going you way, now.

Where have you been hiding buddy? What happened to the last rig you had?
Lator....

welcome back, It's got a good body being a SFA Toyota. All the ones around here are in very bad condition. Good choice with the 4 runner.

it's not a SFA 4runner...



Shad, your last project turned out awesome! I'm sure this one will only be better!!
welcome back!

well I thought it said 84........

Welcome back to the party

Hey they fit with a slight bit of rubbing.......



The redneck dragster look....

But seriously the other tire is flat so I have to find the leak before I complete the look...

However that's 35's on 15x10's with 4" BS on a stock 86 4 runner with no lift and sagging rear springs....

Thanks guys it's good to be back. I have to do a SFA swap on this thing.
The IFS has got to go...
So likely doing chevy springs in the back which work better on a 4 runner.
Sprung and a 4 link F+R is very very tempting to do..... Maybe a combo of jeep control arms and springs might do it....

Welcome back brotha. Hang on to this one (note that I didn't clarify between GF and truck )

Nice headlights too. (note again, I didn't clarify....well....you get the picture )

Lol I know what you mean.

Anyways she has family in scottsdale so mabye if I can get my stuff together on this new project we can make a road trip down.

I'm still not clear as to what the TITLE is referring to.

have you decided on what axles your going to be using? are you going to keep things in house?

Well back on 35's.....
Sorry the pics are kinda dark but tomorrow I may get some new ones.












It rubs in the front when turned.
It looks like some trimming will happen definately a 2" body-lift going in.
The lift shackles helped alot.

I have fix some little things on it now.
The front headlight died and I need to replace one of the front rotors.

Funny I have already had neighbours come by and comment on how it looks with 35's under it... lol

I am going with a 84-85 toyota solid front.
The swap is fairly easy and cheap.

Well fixed some little things in the last few days. I got the dome light working bad bulb.
I rigged up my jumper pack to power my 1000 Watt AC inverter and fitted a drill sanding disk to my 5.5 amp craftsman drill.
I decided to tackle the rust work on it.

Phew that damn fiberglass stinks...
It gets everywhere too.
Well the tiger hair is on.
I had the rust in the usual spots above the rear wheel wells. Glad that's done then comes the bondo and priming.
