[pardonmyn00b]

Dude, you've got some MAD Skillz..!! ;-)

If you don't mind heading out to Western Mass this spring/early summer, we are having a BIG scaler GTG, that your more than welcome to come too man..! ( I will PM you, Bob and Mike with all the details as it gets closer"thumbsup" so we can get ALL 4 of them together :shock

Thanks again for building me such a SICK ass yota body..!!

Thanks and you're welcome. Count me in on that gtg, that would be sick. I'd have a couple hour drive ahead of me, but whatever, I'm down.

Thanks guys, but I didn't build the body , ALL that credit goes to Pardonmyn00b. I do have a color picked out- but you'll have to wait and see what it is though..:mrgreen:

Okay Chris, guess I'll have to watch too.....

Hey Guys- Its been far too long since I've touched the ole' 4Runner.. However I was lucky enough to score some "Inspiration" last week, and now I think I'm ready to dive back into this one..!! :ror:

I picked this up from a fellow member on here (atom631), and when I first saw it up for grabs, I KNEW I had to have it. Its an original 1984 ( with a solid front axle and full leaf spring suspension). The bodys in GREAT shape with hardly any rust at all. The frame on this truck is also MINT..! Its got a 22R motor, 5 speed manual tranny, power windows, A/C, tilt wheel, power antenna, as well as a bunch of new interior goodies as well. I've got a few plans for this one down the road, but for now I think I'll just drive it "as-is", and try to finish up the little one to eventually match big brother.. ( Or maybe I can just trade mine for "Pardonmyn00b's" 4Runner, its almost identical to his..! :lmao

I knew you would be happy with that rig "thumbsup""thumbsup"

jimminee crickets Chris, looks like you need a bigger garage? Did you get rid of your Tacoma daily driver? I wouldn't want the salt and sand to see this rig!!

 

[51WillysJeep]

I knew you would be happy with that rig "thumbsup""thumbsup"

Honestly, I was more surprised YOU didn't grab it first..!!!! :lmao:. Yes, Its a real solid truck, and I'm glad it came home with me. Future plans are around a 2"-3" lift and some 33"s- nothing too crazy as I still want to DD this one."thumbsup"

LOL- Yup - still got the Taco, and the 4runner won't see the snow or salt. "thumbsup"

Awesome work!

 

[sickness]

I thought you were supposed to build crawlers around 1:1 rigs, not buy 1:1 of your scalers?

 

[DORK VADER]

Top notch styrene work and I'm liking the leafsprings."thumbsup""thumbsup" Thinking my next build might have some in the mix...

 

[pardonmyn00b]

Let's trade 4Runners!

I would have probably tried to if I didn't recently grab this....

See sig for info "thumbsup"

 

[atom631]

Nice Runner!!! Im glad you like it Chris. I hope you get to do more with it than I could. Sounds like it went to a good home. Good luck and keep me posted on the build!

EDIT - Just realized.... I guess I need to change my sig!!!!

 

[Tommy R]

Awesome rigs, y'all. If I didn't already have a Jeep, I definitely think I'd be a Yota guy. "thumbsup"

 

[Crawlinyota]

I would really love one of these custom built 4runner bodies! If anyone is thinking of selling theirs or if anymore are hand made please send me a pm! Thanks! Very nice work all!
