The top is in good shape but some of the texture was worn off and the white was showing through in places.  I sanded it a bit and re-textured it with a can of that anti-chip stuff you spray under your paint on rocker panels and such.  It dries alot harder than undercoating and the texture is alot finer than bedliner type products.  Looks just like the stock texture...



Next is a quart of satin black.

Finally back at it again...

The tractor paint spent since last summer out in the weather with the cat climbing up and down in and I'm happy to report no fading so far and it is extremely scratch resistant!  Got it back in the garage last week and welded the body mounts from the 4runner on the frame, so now it is officially an '89 4runner instead of a '94  pickup.  Now I'm trying to find enough parts in musty old boxes to make a complete 3RZ :).  Put some of the crusty parts in the solvent tank...

I am freshening up all gaskets and I ran into a snag when I went to replace the valve seals.  These valve springs are down in the lifter holes and require a special tool to remove, not the typical valve spring compressor, so I've decided to make it since they cost too much.  While I'm all apart I think I'll atempt a basic gasket match and port and polish as well.

I decided to start on my rear swingout bumper and armor before It's gets running so I don't mess the back end up on the trail.  I wouldn't be able to wait to drive it when it's running for something as trivial as a rear bumper so I just as well make it now.  I got a few pieces cut out for the foundation and then I immediately ran out of welding wire!

So I'm dead in the water until I can get to town but at least it's in the garage again!

Update on the everlasting project...

Last summer when work finally got really busy I didn't have hardly any time to do anything fun.  Then my work car starting leaking badly from the front of the engine, so I took it apart in August...  Then I got even busier so it stayed there clogging up the garage untill February of this year.  Last week I rolled the poor 4Runner back in.  One of my buddies ordered up a 9,000lb Engo winch and set it on my winch plate (I had scavenged my Warn M8000 last year for my '80 pickup) to motivate me and brought over some psychobilly CDs to set a good mood in the garage with that old school derelict hot rod vibe.

I took the head apart to replace the valve seals and I don't know weather it was the old timers advice I've heard for years or the psychobilly music but for some reason I decided to try my hand at a decent port and polish.  I am spending the most time on the exhaust side where there was a ton of gasket/port room left on the table in the casting and I am mainly just de-buring and smoothing out the intake side. After I'm done with this I finally get to finish the balance shaft delete and assemble the engine to drop in for motor mount fitment.  Then make a header and so on.

Here are a couple preliminary pics of the port matching project where you can see the original vs. the hogged out ports...

Here is the guts of the balance shaft delete.  You need to put the front side bearings back in the bores 90 degrees off so they plug up the oil galleys, there is a small oil hole on the upper passenger side of the block that needs to be plugged by drilling and taping it for a plug, and the little oil jet in the lower pic replaces a tensioner for the secondary timing chain that runs the balance shafts.  This is the only part of the kit that I actually bought, so it was about $20 instead of the $100 or whatever the delete kit is...

I am now in the process of laying the '98 harness in the '89 body.  After a little trial and error it pretty much goes in like it was meant to be.  I had to cut a few new holes here and there to get through the inner fenders and into the engine bay with everything.  I parted out a Celica a while back and had a bunch of those cool factory rubber grommets.  With a little Wd-40 I coaxed all the plugs through the grommets for a nice chafe free fit.

Also included a pic of the new Engo winch...

Made some more progress on little things that you can't see.  Figuring out the '98 wireing.  I mounted the cuise control box and the compressor for my Rancho shocks.  I plan to gut the dorky dash altemeter/tilt meter and put my shock controls in there.  I know guys will cringe at me sacrificing the perfectly good altemeter but it will look really clean and there is no other decent place to mount the shock controls.  I have the old setup with the little backlit air guages and such so it will look great. This is a resto-mod after all, not a resto  :eyebrow:.

I couldn't find the later model tube exhaust manifold so I decided to build a header.  I got a buddy to cut me a flange out of 1/2" steel on a cool plas machine and I ordered a collector from jegs.  I am using 1 3/4" for the header which is a little large, but I figure since my JD squared bender squeezes the inside of the bend a bit it will flow like 1 1/2" or 1 5/8" anyway.  Used a free online header program to calculate the runner length, but of course I have to deal with the physical locations of everything so we will try to get as close as we can on that.  At any rate it should be better than the stock manifold. From there I have the stock that's still good cat and O2 sensors, which will be put on 2.25" tube to a resonator and a Flowmater 40 series that I got for free from a buddy's leftovers. Tail pipe will run clear out from under the body as close to the stock location as I can.  I am shooting for growly but not obnoxious in the cab.  We'll see how it goes.

I am also trying to pull a Marlin and get my 35" spare up between the frame rails again.  I'm sure I'll have a bit of exhaust challenges with that.  I was going to make a swing out but I decided I just don't want a huge 150 lb spare hanging in my blind spot or taking up valuable storage space inside.

Here is all my exhaust junk so far...

Got the 3RZ bolted in on some slightly modified stock engine mounts.  My 6 year old helped me bleed the clutch last night.  Ended up using a tacoma style clutch slave and the clutch line from the doner rig. Fit perfect with a little tweaking of the line.  I guess the clutch is the first system that is operational at this time...

Finished up the header last night.  I wanted to do something with longer tubes but when I started figuring it all out I ultimately had to compromise with where everything had to be physically instead of the ideal runner length etc.  What I ended up with was a shorty header that fits well and I'm sure will flow way better than the cracked stock cast manifold I had...

OK so after starting and running up to temp 5 or 6 times I got a hesitation and backfire like I don't have enough fuel when I open the throttle more than a bit.  The tank was pretty crusty and I cleaned in out the best I could with asetone and some gas but I'm thinking not clean enough (there was still some fine tan dust on my fingers when I wiped the inside of the tank) and my fuel filter is porbably plugged up now.

I'm going to re-flush the tank and add some frech gas, blow out the lines and put on a new filter...

By the way the exhaust, which I was kind of stressing out on is nice and quiet, with a low throaty tone.

I just pulled it out of the garage for the first joy ride, no fenders, top, tail lights and wires hanging everywhere.  All I can say is wow, what a difference compared to a 22re.  This thing has BALLS!  I can do a good burn out from a roll on dry pavement in 1st and chirp second easy with no popping of the clutch or anything.  I don't know if the port and pollish and the balance shaft delete are coming into play here or if these are just that good anyway but I am extremely happy with this swap. I haven't even got on it much yet.  Can't wait to get it completely road worthy...

I bought the 3RZ with the engine and front cab harness a few years ago for $500, and rebuilt it...  I'll get back to you on this.

OK I had to think about it because it's been such a long drawn out project...  I have done alot more to the vehicle but this is the breakdown of what is cost to get the 3RZ in there and running the way I did it, intake to tail pipe.  I did have to rebuild the engine too.  I made alot of stuff myself, like the header and exhaust.  The oil pan kit has gone way up since I bought mine a few years ago.  If you didn't have to rebuild an engine it would be $400 cheaper overall though.

3RZ stuff:                                    $500
Rebuild parts & machine work:   $400
Oil pan kit:                                  $130
Balance shaft delete parts:          $20
Belts hoses:                                $150
Plugs & Wires:                              $50
Header Parts:                               $75
Port & Polish/abbrasives:             $60
Exhaust Parts:                            $100
Air Filter & fabed adapter:            $30

Thanks!

Now I can't get any rear brakes.  I found a rebuilt master over the weekend and I tore down and cleaned up my LSPV.  It was a little rusty on the bottom but mainly just gunked up with what looked like dried up brake fluid inside.  This things are kind of re-buildable if you have the patience for it and some solvent.  There is just the cast body, the ins and outs where the lines go, a peg with a spring and a copper and brass fitting with an o-ring on it.  The plastic guide on the bottom is held in with a snap ring and it all comes apart apart pretty easy.  I soaked it all in solvent and cleaned it with some q-tips and a little fine sand paper. These things are like $180 so it was worth the hour or two it took to clean it up. Here is a pic of it all shiny...

I may have a plugged up wheel cylinder too, I'll find out.
