ready in the pics.
Quick Build Update:- RockSolidToys Rear 4-Link is done and ready to be installed once the front suspension is on- Currie Rear RockJock 60 is in the middle of being built- Salvage Doors (4) should be here next week. Evidently they were were stuck in a "rail delay" somewhere between CA and Chicago.- Salvage Liftgate and Sport Hood will ship out of NY tomorrow.- Jaz Pro Sport II 22 Gal Fuel cell, Arctec Industries mounts, and Allstar 2.5" filler hose in the mail.- Still working on Alltec Baffles and plumbing conversion, which I still need to learn a lot about- AEM Air/Fuel Ratio Gauge, AEM Fuel Pressure Gauge, and URD 170 Deg Thermostat will be installed when URD MAF Calibrator arrives- PRP Ivan Stewart Pro Seats and Harnesses should be shipped out soon- Cooper Discoverer STT Pro Tires ordered- KMC XD222 Enduro Beadlock Wheels will be ordered this week- ABS (and ATRAC, VSC, and TRAC) Defeat Switch will be finished next week- Atlas II 3.8 Case and A750F Adapter will likely be ordered next weekThe salvage parts arriving next week will literally replace every single removable piece of sheet metal on the 4Runner.I'm tracking every component of the build in a build-plan and checking things off the list as we go. Still a lot left to do, but having the sponsorship portion of the build completed is a big win!
Order that atlas ASAP its like a 10-12 week wait.
Im curious as to why youre replacing all of the doors and lift gate?
This is simple. My flawless, complete (glass, motors, electrical, etc) Limited exterior stuff is worth a lot. Salvage shell parts are cheap. I'd rather put on cheap salvage parts ready to be destroyed at KOH and sell the valuable parts so I can buy other stuff for the build.
Quick update:- First, I was wrong! I installed the ABS Kill Switch and drove all this past week - I thought the 4.7L was fast before. With ABS off, it's a whole new beast. You all were right! We will be running KOH with ABS Off. I still like the switch so I can have ABS on when I drive to CA in mid-Sept, but once it's in CA, it'll be off full time!
- ABS (and ATRAC, VSC, and TRAC) Defeat Switch ! Lets have some more info on that! a how to and parts list?? Id love to have a full ON/OFF switch to defeat instead of the VSC push button sequence
Dude. Get an led whip. Most important item. Will be the first thing I bolt onto my next rig.
After a month of tracking these down (railroad delays, lost shipments, delivered to the wrong address, etc), the 4 salvage doors finally arrived just in time for this weekend!
Can you make it to where if you push one it leaves the other one on, but if you push the other it kills both circuits?
I'm surprised that this version is allowed. I expected the big switch like on a drag car would be required.

Exactly my original plan as well. The problem, as I have come to learn, is:1) I have an alternator that I have to kill and just killing the battery won't kill the vehicle once it's running.2) It has to be within reach of both occupants, which means I'd have to run a bunch of huge cables into the cab with marine style switches for both Battery and Alternator switches.3) This is a very clean, easy to diagnose setup with fuses that can be swapped if we run into an issue.In reality, the solenoid in the engine compartment is essentially one of those huge switches. The button as simply the remote control that flips the switch from inside the cab - but allows you to easily mount, wire, and access it.
