[toywthbdydmge]

Well I sold my runner today  now it's time to figure out what to build next so I'm going to shoot some idea's now tell me what you guys think oh yeah I'm giving myself till Nov 2007  for completion so I can do the 1st run to the hammers THANKSGIVING weekend see what happens $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

1st gen or 3rd gen or standard cab taco
chevy 4.3 or v8
sm420/205 or sm465/205
front 60
rear 14 bolt
5" springs in front
coils in the rear
40" MTRS or 42" IROCS or SWAMPERS
exo but not to radical
now shoot away guys

42s, either engine 1st gen

[toywthbdydmge]

yeah when I had my 1st gen I was really comfortable with it never could get the same feeling with the runner

[jimbo74]

i like 4 runners more..... but i think that wheeling a first gen and actually using it that a easier setup would be the first gen.... its just more friendly to all the stuff you wnat to do to it.... also if smog plays an issue, it will probably be easier to smog it than an 89-95 truck....

[rednk1980]

1st gen all the way, with the 4.3 and 42 iroks, that would be sick.

[toywthbdydmge]

not worried about smog

[toywthbdydmge]

theres a 1st gen down the street thats been sitting for about 3 years so going to hit them up tomorrow see if they want to sell

[Loosekannon]

Who bought it? Who I think it is, or did that deal fall threw
1st gen, 4.3 and some 42's. Booo on the MTR's. Everyone I see or know who wheels them at the Hammers has a plug or 50 in the side walls.

Side note....this desert over here is really hot, 118 to 120 yesterday 

[iNfErNaL]

Who bought it? Who I think it is

Yup,Jaime is the new proud owner of the Runner.He said he's gonna get some 30 splines and bob the hell out of it.

Right on, he was talking about it

[toywthbdydmge]

yeah he grabbed it today sucks that its that hot out there but glad to hear from you

[Shoyrtt]

How about going really old school and run a Stout with a 4.3? I saw a really clean one in Banning (totally stock) for $800.

[toywthbdydmge]

   

[locktup]

1st gen with 39 BFG Krawlers 
Or do another 4Runner

I took the pic out to help with the regurgitation.

[toywthbdydmge]

Thanks it looks like I'm starting to lean toward the 1st gen was kind of leaning more to the taco before but starting to change my mind

[rocktoy83]

1st gen all the way   

[iNfErNaL]

I say first gen,Dana 60s front and rear,42s(TSLs or Iroks)and your choice of motor,tranny and t-case    .

[dizzydevil]

1st gen all the way! small block sm420 dana 300

[RTA]

1st gen are cool but, I like a little more room with an extra cab and I also like the longer wheelbase.  I guess you can put D60's where ever you want to.  I you are not set on an engine I would go V8.  Just for the extra fun to and from the trails!  Iroks would be my pic on tread.  I like exo's

[Loosekannon]

Found your motor any tranny  just need some t-cases

[Shoyrtt]

OK so you didn't like the Stout idea and you are leaning toward a 1st gen.  How about a T-100? Here is one locally  ( don't tell Peps) http://www.race-dezert.com/cgi-bin/trader/atl.cgi?ct=2&mct=&md=second&id=28587

[toywthbdydmge]

well I went to check out the 1st gen from down the street what a mistake this guy tried to tell me  that he paid $3500 just to get the trans rebuit and installed then he said it was a W56 so I told him no disrespect but someone stuck you in the because this isnt a W56 I also showed him how if this was a W56 the crossmember wouldnt line up to the original mounts and he said I was crazy.   Then he said he paid $3000.00 to put an 85 carb motor so I told him again he got stuck with no vasoline  . So I asked him ok whats the bottom line he responded with $4000.00 is the bottom line I    at him and said good luck seeing how that truck hasnt moved in about 3 years what a
oh yeah its all full of surface rust the interrior is all ragged and tires are all cracked

[RTA]

You should have told him your best offer was another swift kick in the
That guy sounds crazy... I want to meet him

[toywthbdydmge]

hey Teag he was as funny looking as any nerd in a movie any time your in Ontario come see me and I'll take you to meet him

[RTA]

For that price you could get this 1st Gen I just saw.  But it's already built.

[toywthbdydmge]

yeah I also seen it

[EarlKann]

How about an FJ40?  Already got the 350/465/205.  It needs the crossmembers re-done and an axle/brake upgrade/swap.  Price is negotiable.
