Default Toyota 4-runner

Well I finally decided to find a 4-runner and build one up.. Just got it in the mail about 30 mins. ago and it is about to start getting cut on


Plans are:

Tubed bumpers front and rear
winch
SAS with TLT axles
Swamp dawgs
etc.


More to come later on

It may be awhile. I have a few other things to build before I can actually start working on this project full time.. I'll update it as I get to working on it. It will look something like this.{keywords= something like} But I will still have a front bumper and stuff

WOW that body is in really nice shape, I really do like the green too. Better then my gay red , I need to find another one of these things with a descent body color.

As for the truck, I haven't done much to it yet. Anyone know how to get the yellow color off plastic or is it that way for good?

Well I found about 30 mins. last night to start tearing it apart. I was going to try and use the bellcrank steering, but it is missing a bushing in the system and creates too much slop so it is off the chassis now also

Here is what is left of the chassis
