New in South Carolina

[palmetto zuk]

Coming in hot from SC. I traded for this 85 a couple weeks ago. Come to find out the frame and body were a little more rusty than i imagined. The 22re was rebuilt about 10k miles ago and it has lock rites front and rear. When trying to buy a IFS rear, IFS box and IFS hubs from a guy i found out the runner he was parting was a rust free 86 so im picking it up this weekend. It has been hit in the front and will need the frame tweaked and all my front end from the cowl forward as well as all my interior and motor trans and t case. Hopefully ill have enough posts soon so i can post the build. The plans go as followed...

Immediate plans:
SAS swap on the 86
Add front innerfenders and body from 85
Swap dash and interior
Swap engine, trans, and t case also install new clutch and input shaft bearing on trans
Install 85 rear springs up front
TG crossover steering
Axle Armor Ect
63in Chevy rears
Twin Stick

Future plans:
35in tires of some kind
Double Cases
5.29 gears
Paint Cream with black graphics
Try not to beat the body to death


I want to build a nice DD 4runner that will be dependable and that i can wheel a little. I have a Samurai DD now that is a real box so i want something nice. I have stretched Samurai to do heavy wheeling with when its done. Now for the pictures
