Start of a build 87 runner
« on: Mar 24, 2006, 01:17:14 PM »
I bought the runner about a year ago now it was pretty much stock when I got her sitting on 31's and some pinner rear bumper other than that nothing else done to it.

 than I decided to go with a 3" body lift and some 33's




I put on 24,000 kms on the truck from when I first bought it with a bad knocking motor ..... well the motor died!

As for the swap what to go in:
7mgte with an upgraded gt35 ballbearing turbo
stainless turbo manifold
fuel cell
microtech standalone

Suspension:
SAS
01" F350 front and rear axles
Dana 50 front with a sterling 10.25 rear
Full disk brakes (came stock on the 01 F350's)
I will be upgrading the front to 35 spline hubs with 60 knuckles
(Dana 50 axle off of the 01's are the exact same size as a dana 60 just tappered down at the knuckles as well as the gear size is smaller)
4 link the rear
Sitting on some 16.5x10 hummer beadlocks
running 39.5 TSL's
Exterior/Interior
I am replacing all the carpet
Seats are out and gone(donated to my bro)
Will be getting very shortley some reccaros!
Have new fenders and quarters to go on (sittin in the garage)



Will post some pics up as the progress proceeds.
