Ok so some of you mite remember i built a 4runner last year to drive across country and wheel at all the good places MOAB Rubicon Fordyce ect ect well it worked great but then i had a weak moment and traded it to a friend for his very nice heep

Drove the heep back to FL and sold it 2 weeks later

then i bought a stock Tacoma and drove it rt back across country

and moved to OR. I really liked the Tacoma but it was like haveing a old mans truck so i sold it and bought a 85 ex cab to start over .

Love the paint job on the runner! Nice xtra cab...miss mine. Some of my best memories are from wheeling that truck as hard as a I could on 32's...

Gnob are you going to take the Iroks of your runner ? My buddie has a set of the older style MTRs but they are 32s as well . he is selling them

That lift was fun to install today. Darn rusted bolts hah. Glad we got it all done in time though and you made it home safe.

nicci · « **Reply #22 on:** Oct 28, 2010, 04:33:45 PM »

why and how could you sell that 4-runner? talk about clean and gorgeous. I bet whoever bought it just rubbed their hands in glee when you drove away...I guess at least you can build a new one!

RockRescue · « **Reply #23 on:** Oct 28, 2010, 04:47:00 PM »

I traded it to a friend of mine . I was sick of him haveing a jeep so i got him into Toyotas . Half the fun is Building them for me . When i built the last 4runner i had no intention of getting rid of it . I drove that thing all over the US last summer only problem i had was the fuel sending unit went out . I saw a add for tires for sale but seen a Marlin sticker in the add and called it just to see if by chance he would have one . Now a year later turns out it was Gnob LOL i now live rt down the street . Every time i build one i learn something and try and make the next one better .

Went to the junk yard and picked up some blingy door handles off a toyota mini van

Then i picked up some mounts to mount my Hi Lift

RockRescue · « **Reply #25 on:** Oct 29, 2010, 07:27:26 PM »

Ok not sure why My cam wont load the pics rt now ? but i will figure it out later . So the truck has a freshly rebuilt engine . 1500 miles on it now . It runs good but has just been not 100% . I have re checked the valves 3 times re adj the timeing ect ect . well it had a broken BVSV i went to Toyota to get one and they were $85 umm no thanks so i Called up LC e and orderd the EGR block off plates . I installed them today and it really smothed out my idle and seems to be running much better . Plus it cleaned up my engine alot .

Travis H · « **Reply #26 on:** Oct 31, 2010, 11:41:16 AM »

got any up close pics of how you mounted the highlift?

you have had some nice builds, ill be watching this one

RockRescue · « **Reply #27 on:** Oct 31, 2010, 02:25:29 PM »

I will take some more pics of the mount . For some reason my Cam wont download into my comp now ? But thank you . this truck has been kinda a fun project so far only have had it 2 weeks now . Today i helped a guy i know remove his front 3rd i guess someone wanted to buy it ? anyways he gave me the stock asian hubs off of it

so i will swap out these superwinch things . and when we got the 3rd out it did not have the detroit that it was suposed to have

it was just a lock-rite . i told him i would give him 50 for it .

RockRescue · « **Reply #28 on:** Dec 01, 2010, 11:24:35 PM »

Well not alot to update rt now . I have been really busy with work . We have been getting some good snow this year so i have been able to go play in it . I am not to impressed with the BFG KM2 in the snow . i am going to have them sipped and see if that helps them ? I was also hopeing MC would get some bumpers again ? who knows if that will ever happen so i am going to start makeing some tommorow .
