full width 4runner

[toyrolet]

   I am building an 86 4runner. sas with full width axles. looking to put fender flares  and would like a thread to find cheap ones. Financial expert in family is pissing  and moning   bout the cost of bushwakers.   used would be ok even.

I also need some good, cheap fender flair ideas.

Bushwackers look clean IMO

i have some 4 inch bushwhackers I'll sell ya,,there off a jeep,,but would prolly work..

[toyrolet]

[toyrolet]

[toyrolet]

this is the dreaded donor.

[broken wrench]

where are you located, have you cut the ifs off the frame yet?

[toyrolet]

yes ifs is gone. i am in protland/vancouver

[toyrolet]

well i havent had many up dates lately but here are some fresh pics.  i have the suspension in and now must recently added the engine and trans next was the exhaust.  what a pain as i had to make my own y pipe that runs down the drivers side of chassi.  all gm factory ones run down passenger so had to make my own.  it took two tries but it is soild and smog legal. i plan to get the body back on this week and hopefully get it running.

here is the donor now.  my friend put his 1ton running gear under it.

10 and 12 bolt arnt really full widths, unless you have a 44 and 14 bolt under it. its gettin there

um,,what do you call it then??a blazer is about as full width as it gets dude..as far as i know all trucks that had the 10 bolt front and the 44 front were the same width...

[toyrolet]

well duh, the way i see it the rear axle alone is 8 inches wider than the stock one so i forsee the tires almost completely out from under the fenders.  and btw my buddy that has put his 1ton gear under the blazer in the post is running a 14b and it is the same width as my 10 bolt give or take a few inches.  i am looking to upgrade but this is what is avalible at this time.

[RHG]

fullwidth is fullwidth, now the 10 and 12 bolts arnt 1 ton material but they will take a beatin.

[gotrocks]

You are fixin to see another

[toyrolet]

here is the most up to date pics that i have.  man what a nightmare it has been.

[toyrolet]

I have even test fit a 35 on the front and it has 90 to 95 percent clearance.  AWESOME for someone that just learned to weld with this project.  Hope you all like it.

[gotrocks]

lookin good man keep it up

[toyrolet]

thank you i will get it going in a month or so.  and hopefully get someflex pics.

[Makman]

You're going to flex awesome with all that leverage from the wider axles.  What are you running for leaf springs?

[toyrolet]

pro comp blazer front 4in lift and stock blazer rear with extended shackles.

Well finally got the dang thing home.  Been doing the work at a friends house and he had to move.  Not on the road yet but it is right at my house so when I get a free moment I can work on it.  All wiring done had to toggle the fuel pmp for supply the carb.  Works awesome.  Driveline in, had to make multiple trips to wrecking yard to find right length.  Came from an S10 or some thing.  All that is left is to fill with coolant and tighten the trans cooler lines.  Still trying to figure how to hook up fron driveline any suggestions?  Blazer crossmember is too short to fit between the toyo frame rails.

[toyrolet]

I found a really good pic before I started the project.

[toyrolet]

Finnally got it runnig tuesday.     After blowing up a coil   because i didnt put in a resitor (been working with electronic  mostly) forgot that I needed it with points.  Runs great all I need to due is set dwell and then timing and it will be on the road.  Still needing to put in front driveline but not sure what to do with the crossmember?  the stock toy one is in the way.  Want to try and use the blazer but it is not wide enough for the frame.  Will get some pics of action really soon.    Getting back to work on it this weekend.

Right on man..looks good....me and a couple friends are gonna head up to wagonwheel Saturday, and prolly want to hit it again on Sunday.....you should try to make it up and demonstrate some flex...

I'll probably be in the heep...the runner isn't liking me very much right now...and I hate the IFS

Are you in P-town or the coov?

[robrub00]

I am in Oregon City.  there is this little place called wagonwheel right down hwy 213 from my place, it used to be huge, but they've cut us off of a lot of land, but it's still kinda fun & full of all kinds of little hills and muddy ruts with deep holes....

My cousin and I went up there there tonight, and it's full of water still kinda fun but our stock rigs were at about their limits going through the water.
