So here it is...
Project 4low is the build of my 92 runner. I have had the runner a while and it has been sitting for the last 2 years not doing a thing with a blown up 3.0.
So after getting my 85 extra cab and wheelin that for the last 2 years I have decided to pull the drive train out of the 85 and put it in the 92.
The 85 was rolled before i got it, after wheel in winter with no doors and no extra seats I'm ready for a 4runner to wheel. Yes I know I'm going backwards with the engine swap BUT, I have everything I need to do the swap for almost no money.
85 Extra Cab Specs22re, w52, duals with 2.28 in both, RUF, 63's out back, 38.5 tsl sx's, had a flatbed now a started tube bed with the exocage
I bought this truck already built minus the exo cage.
