Topic: 3 linked 86 4runner build

[YotaRick]

Here is my build. 1986 Toyota 4Runner originally was a auto but that had to go. I’m pretty far along so I will get you all caught up to today. 3 linked front and Chevys in the rear. All Toyota axles.
Also new so it won’t let me post pictures yet apparently

Apologies for not having pictures up. Let’s start from the beginning. I had build a 86 pickup extra cab and loved it had leafs front and rear with 4:7s single case. Loved that truck. Then life happens and found out I was going to be a father. So I sold the truck and got the market for a 4 runner back in 2018. Took months to even track one down and this what right when they were getting popular. Funny thing was I drove by one and never got a good look at it every day on my way to work. Finally guy who had it in his yard was moving vehicles around and I saw it in all of its glory. Pulled in after work and asked if he would get rid of it. Back and forth for a day or so but now it’s mine. Just had to get rid of all the girly stuff he put in because it was his wife’s project. It was originally a automatic and the oem motor blew. So he just put in a warrantied motor from the junkyard. Ran great so I drove it home. Here it is once I got it into the driveway and here is a pick of my first love of the pickup I sold

Then life happened and the little guy showed up and took over everything. The dog was trying everything to escape

First things first tear out the pink skull and crossbones headliner and remove all the stickers deep clean and a nice polish to get that shine back just like any new vehicle a full once over. Work moved locations and so did I twice I ran it around bone stock and slowly started gathering Parys for the build. Good friend of mine was holding onto a front axle for me I just needed it shipped to CA from SD

Once I knew parts were shipped I started the year down to strip the frame to ad some frame plates and get ready for the 3 link
