$ Runner build-up

1993toy · Dec 25, 2010

I'm wrapping a build that has been a ongoing project. I know it's little "Monster Truck" compared to some buggy's, but o well it's mine.

1993 4-Runner

Chevy 60 front, Lincoln locked
14 bolt rear, spooled
5.38 gears
Old school leaf springs, Trail Gear 3"
TBI 350
TH 350, built by KillerB468
Np 205 for now, future...?
42" TSL's
H1 8-Bolt rims

The first go around I ordered 5" springs and it had a 3" body lift. Way to tall.

I installed some lower springs and took 2" of BL out. Still tall, but a lot better.

guys, that toyota was brand new fresh off the lot when he started this build! :****: seriously though, I think it started in 2006. :flipgotcha:

good to see it almost finished wayne. now if you could just get that jackhole to finish the wiring. :drinkers:

Nice clean build, keep the pics coming. It looks better without all the body lift. :****:

got any pics of your motor mounts and exhaust/headers???

Well I finished the rig enough to make it to Wheelin in the Country for New Years. The ride went ok until I busted a power steering twice; the first time was repairable, the second time did me in for the day. I also bent a front spring.

I still need to finish the front bumper, build a rear bumper and build a roll cage.

Here's some pics of the motor mounts and exhaust.

A little grill Bling, this was found by a friend of mine. It fits on the grill perfectly. :woot:

Thanks for the compliments.

I owe a huge thanks to TonyT for wiring this sucker.

I still have some work to do before the next ride. I've got to build a cage and some bumpers. In addition I've decided to go with full hydro steering.

1993toy · May 2, 2011

Well it's time for a update.

I've upgraded the steering to a full Hydro PSC kit (thanks to EOR) and 35-spline outers with drive flanges.

I've been wheeling it hard. It's time for a new motor. O yeah I've manged to twist the 14 bolt; I should have welded and/or trussed it from the get go. O well time to get to work and get it back on the trail.
