I don't have any real old ones when it was stock

Bought this in 97 I think with a bad motor in MN. Rebuilt it for a DD. laughing1 Got it running after well over a year, 6 months later was in Moab on 33's IFS and lockers. :woody:

86 4runner, SAS, D44 front with too much $$ invested, ult. cases, 6 years ago :eek: I met P after I got home looking for a cab. Shoulda just pounded it out, added glass and a good cage and left it alone.
