Scott Wilson's 1988 4Runner Build, Version 2.0

I also finally cut some holes to get more air to the radiator.  I've had an occasional need to stop and let the temps come down.  Hopefully this helps.

Hey Scott,

Your rockinator is looking way too bada$$! 

I'd replace my radiator thermostat if it's been awhile.

Gnarls.

Some of the body work had cracked allowing water beneath the paint... Which caused rust. Which I ignored for a couple of seasons.  [emoji1749]

I signed Holly's 83 pickup and my 4Runner up for the Toyotafest in Long Beach, so I finally decided to tackle the nastiness.https://www.instagram.com/p/CywHyw2vcQn/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

I ended up cutting out my fender flare after I saw what a hack job it was.  I just didn't know any better at the time I first flared them.  I welded a straight edge to the panel to get it back into shape, since my first attempt at flares warped it to the point it needed way too much filler.

Then I shaped new steel to replace the old flare.  I have a lot to learn still, but it's leaps and bounds better than what I had done the first time around.

The new flare required significantly less filler.  I just picked it up from paint today.  Now to clean it up in time for Marlin's service next weekend.

Oh... I also had thrown some 40s on it, but after flexing today, I'm going back to 37s. Too much interference
