Been chippin away at this thing trying to get all the little stuff done.
Got the fuel pump and filter permanately mounted. Ended up mounting them under the floor on the passanger side between the frame a rock slider. Used a factory fuel filter out of 3.4 Tacoma because I like the way it has a nice bracket to bolt it to any flat surface. After that I built a skid plate, drilled and tapped the rock slider support bars and bolted it to them to keed debris from bouncing off the pump and filter.
Got the battery in place using a Ruff stuff box. Cut out a plate and bolted it to the firewall where the old heater fan box was. Welded the RS boxt to that and also added a big gusset under the box.
Gauges in place. Went with all speedhut gauges. Also using a GPS speedo for ease of use and accuracy. Not pictured is the fuel gauge that will be mouted on the dash to the right of the cluster.
FJ80 brake master cylinder, FJ40 booster bolted and place and most of the brake hardlines plumbed.
Radiator puke take installed and plumbed.
Next up is wiring and final assembly of cage, seats and other misc stuff. Should be good to go by mid summer. Working 50 plus hour weeks at my normal job and being a Dad are not leaving me with much time to monkey with this. I'm not worried though, my 4runner is trail ready. :flipoff2:
