My really slow 4runner build up

[darius]

Great project!!! are you going to be at donner for the rock crawl? :beer:

Yeah I will be at Donner, I'll chat with you there.


Not too much for progress tonight, time was cut short, I have a wet t shirt contest to get to.:redneck:

 

[TB-F]

This is exactly how my runner project snowballed in to a buggy :D

 

[darius]

I have a pallet full of part's for one of those too, it's just a matter of getting the time, space and motivation up to build a chassis.

Photos please......:corn:

 

[darius]

there are no new photo's, last night time was cut short due to going to a wet t shirt contest, and today I couldn't get out of there soon enough due to a hangover from excessive drinking at the wet t shirt contest.

 

[iceman1]

when do you think it will be completed?...just wondering cause I can't remember when I saw you behind the wheel actually wheeling?:wtf:

 

[darius]

Well today I ran out to tom's and picked up my new tranny, got back to the shop and gave it a mexican tune up, about a half hour later it look's brand new and painted. I then finally finished my bob job. Then I tore into my front end, It was an upside down left hand drop 960 with the most diff clearence ever that I built for my moon car project, now it is a low pinion passenger drop with the most top clearence ever.

 

[darius]

The brand new tranny is in the back ground, the knuckles are half ass sitting on there the right way. My time was cut short due to having to do some jeep repairs.


Oh yeah, and yes that is a freightliner in the background.

 

[Paulie]

Damn Bro.....

 

[darius]

Today I got a really late start due to a kind of late night of drinking. I decided I was tired of working in the huge mess, so I started off cleaning up. I then finished cleaning up my inner c's and housing end's, it is now ready to go under the rig and have the caster set. I then fought with myself for a while getting up the motivation to cut off the bottom of the housing. I got it done, it look's good and now I have to go to a damn bbq down the road. I plan on coming in back later and maybe starting on the skid plate. Though I need a motor before I build the skid plate I should be able to get a good start.

[darius]

holding true to the ***le of the thread

finally got a minute to work on the runner

 

[darius]

worked on the runner a little bit today, finally got around to completely finishing my front housing, then tonight after attempting to fix Nike's Jeep I got a pretty good start on my skid plate. And no I'm not using the big dumb allen head bolt's, it's just the only extra 1/2" fine short bolt's that were laying around.

 

[darius]

I built the skid plate tonight, which mean's I'm about 2 or 3 evening's away from having a roller.

 

[Money Mark]

Badass! :beer:

A super late night at the shop tonight, and not that much got done. First I added my link bracket's to my skid plate I built last night, then got the skid plate bolted back in. Then it was time to clearance the floor so the tranny and t case will fit, to finish it off I will be building an aluminum cover to cover the hole back up. Now the next step is to set the motor/tranny/tcase in the hole, so it was time to start making up motor mount's, didn't get too fancy as it was about midnight:30 when I started that task, but to make up for it I tig'd them together. Now this is the end of the night, and here are a few pics.

 

[darius]

Got a motor dropped in the hole and half of a motor mounted tonight, a combo of too many beer's and Paulie stopping by was the reason for not finishing the other.

Looking damn good..

 

[chevota1]

and to think you you still had time to do all that work after sweeping the floor in the shop all day. but seriously that **** looks trick i like the way you did your skid. i hope to do my junk just like that some day. glad to see you come along with the build so fast. see ya out there soon:bananallama:

 

[darius]

Well I didn't get nearly as much done today as I would have liked to, but when you get out of bed a little after noon thing's just don't get done. I wanted it as a roller in the front today, but didn't even get started. I did get the tranny mount done, it was a little tricky, but it came out nice. I just got a case of the AFI's, so I'm outta here.
