You guessed it, yet another 85 4 Runner buildup!

thats sick dude...truck is looking gnarly

yeah, 1st gen with a 22re 5speed, 85 if i can find one if not i can do a sas. he wants to do dailey driver/mini crawler. like 33" m/t's, sas, lockers and maybe duel cases.

I would SAS the 86-89 rig over an 85. You get the wider rear axle and the better steering box. Plus most people have unrealistic beliefs on the true value of the 84 and 85s. You can pick up the 86-89 cheap.

Thanks. I guess we will see on Tuesday night.

I want to clear up some room in the small space behind the back seat and the hi-lift back there takes up a lot of room.
Has anyone tried these tubing clamps from Fourtreks?

For the record, the picture above is not my setup.   I do, however, have the hi-lift rubber retainer. I believe you can get them basically anywhere hi-lifts are sold. I bought mine at 4West in Colton.
