You got wheels with more offset then that right?

Sticking with 35s cause I am still running 27 spline shafts for now. I am also running 4.88s so I think 35s will be the better option for now. The wheels I got have a 3.75 back spacing, the black powder coated rock crawler wheels from procomp with 35 12.50 16 BFG MT KM2s

I did, wanted to get rid of as much of the rot as possible....the passenger side has metal all spot tack in it and I have 3m sealant to go in now over it to fill the rest of the way in. Drivers side still needs to be done...that side is worst... damn east coast

Reason? Is it so they dont collect water? Im going to leave them on while we are welding so I dont score the piston

4runner is almost ready for the raush creek trip in 2 weeks

Updates as of now are:
Rear set with 4.88s, solid spacer, and a lock right
Rear drive shaft lengthened and tubing upgraded from Toyota soda can material
Front drive shaft equipped with TG 10" long spline set up
ARB compressor installed and locker all hooked up
and finally, 35" KM2s

I was out shopping at the flea market for my GFs birthday, while her and my mom shopped for the new ankle bracelet, my step dad and I headed over to the vinyl dude. I told him what I wanted and he made me up some pretty awesome stuff for me

1st on the list was the most important sticker

Gotta give credit to the people that made this project come together, my 2 buddies Wade and Joe and my stepdad Jeff

My friend Wade came over the other day to see the new tires and the 1st thing he said was "Yo is that an 85 4runner?? sweeeeeeet breehhh hahahahaha" I figured if he was busting my balls I know there will some ratards at local cruises who think its an 85 so I had this made up mostly as a joke. My friend Wade got a kick out of it

Next was this one, thanks to my mom lending me the money for the truck originally I figured I owed this one to her. She liked it

And lastly the windshield banner, I take a lot of pride in the fact that my friends, stepdad, and I built it

Tomorrow my Marlin sliders go on and then it'll be ready to wheel RC

Rear bumper is definitely planned, just not sure I can afford it before RC...I may have been able to too but the GFs ankle bracelet was big coin

and so was that 57 Ford PU scaler I bought but I just had to have that

I did 75 hours again at work this past week with 7 hours OT so I may have the cash soon enough.

Keep the shock boots Mike .I didnt install them on mine and the shock shafts are rusted and pitted all to hell...Just make sure you install them with the drain opening on the bottom..
Great work on the swap!!!!

team3six · 03-13-2010, 10:24 PM

I would enter that in the street class at the MSD's, I think you might win it hands down.

Etype R · 03-13-2010, 11:04 PM

Awesome! new tires look good

I just built my front bumper today, I'll have to take some pictures of it tomorrow before I pull it off for paint.

beachbum · 03-14-2010, 11:35 AM

Man, it's coming together nicely Mike

. Can't wait to see some wheeling pics. Great to have friends and family that help out with personal projects like this. Nice way to show them some props too.

ultimate_monkey · 03-14-2010, 12:40 PM

looks good but looks like ur front shackles point the wrong way , they should be sloped back not forwards, pull a leaf or to out of the pack and reintall them after u have beat on it for a bit

pigeonfarmboy · 03-14-2010, 01:50 PM

Lookin good Mike!

Thanks Hal, did you get my PM with the tracking info for the Atomic Toy? I was real excited about the builder sticker, it came out exactly how I wanted it too

Clearly you didnt read the entire thread

shackle angle was off in the very beginning and is already starting to relax and I havent even done any wheeling yet. The shackle tubes were pushes as far forward as I could get them, against TG recommendation, because everyone I talked to said the leafs settle A LOT

pfft who reads, i just look at pictures

Looks mean with the new meats on

I gotta say the half-primer look ain't cutting it. Either paint the thing or go all primer. It looks unfinished this way.

Oh, and fix those shackles

microgoat · 03-14-2010, 05:43 PM

Then you can afford to paint the rest of it

1BadJeepBruiser · 03-25-2010, 07:08 PM

Marlin rear bumper installed

Got a set of mint doors from an 88 off craigslist for 75$ Half doors soon!

TURTLE · 03-25-2010, 08:15 PM
