Lucky b*std!  If I can ever afford to buy a house, one of the biggest deciding factors will be how much land I have to park rigs and that it has a big enough shop for me to both work on trucks and store/catalog pulled parts.

i live in a subdivision, with rv parking down the side yard, my backyard is full of parts and all of my parking is taken up by 8 toyotas and 1 chevy,  the raftors in my 1 car garage are full of yota parts too, in the past 5 yrs ive owned 1 supra, i celica, 4 4runners, 4 2wd toy pickups, 2 79 4wd's, 2 80 4wd's 1 84 4wd, 1 85 excab 4wd, 2 86 4wd's, and one 94 4wd yota.  my neibors hate me, but i dont give a care, it keeps me busy

[Yota87Truck]

I like your fab work and all of your rigs. you do a good job

[boggerunner [OP]]

here is my 85 excab that i got for free, it has 4" skyjacker springs up front, i will be 3 linkin the rear.
i already installed the new front leaf hanger on it since the stock ones like to rip off the frame with my abusive drivin

[boggerunner [OP]]

i just finished building my Dual Ultimate t-case, and im gonna finish up this other Dual Ultimate  for chanceys 85 excab today too

[boggerunner [OP]]

i also need to replace the timing chain on marks 86 pickup, and get rid of all the redneck crap under the hood.

the second pic is chancys front axle with 5.29's, 30 sp longs, detroit, and all the gussets and armor with 4" rears up front and the new front crossmember with crossover steering, his front axle is about 5.5 inches foward from stock.

and the 3rd pic is his freshly rebuilt 22re that i rebuilt about 3 months ago, one of these days it will go back into the truck

[boggerunner [OP]]

more updates, got marks 86 's motor torn down to replace the timing chain, and i found an 1986 excab 4wd missing the t-case and tranny for $500, and it has power windows and locks, im either gonna get it for a buddy who needs a rig, or just throw a tranny and t-case into it, and sell it.  It is a black SR5 model too

[boggerunner [OP]]

the 4.7 transfer case gears for chanceys 85 excab are done, time to build the ifs hub conversion kit, and install the arp hub studs

post a pic of the newest thing you dragged home today.  i should be done in about a week or so.  front end is all together and my rear lower links are all mapped out, just gotta build tabs and weld.  mount the tires, do front brake lines and i be in business. 

[boggerunner [OP]]

here is the new truck that we gutted for the axles and tcase

[Yota87Truck]

Nice!! the beed looks fiarly decent from the pics and it looks like you scored some nice rims too.

[boggerunner [OP]]

yep, just gutted the axles and t-case, the rest is on its way back to the scrap yard tomorrow morning.  The front axle and tcase are going into my buddys 89 toy, he is finally ready to do a sas and duals

[boggerunner [OP]]

gutted my 2wd race truck and hauled it off yesterday, here is whats left of it

[boggerunner [OP]]

got marks motor torn down, it needs a new timing set, and part of the chain is in the oil pan along with the plastic guides

[boggerunner [OP]]

finished another ifs hub conversion, and when chancey gets here with some locktite, i will install the arp hub studs

[boggerunner [OP]]

some new parts for chanceys 85 excab, blutorch fab coil buckets for 6" lift TJ coils, tabs, and toyota gussets.
some stainless brakelines, and a new spool with yukon 5.29's 

[boggerunner [OP]]

here is what the interior looked like, and what it looks like now

[boggerunner [OP]]

i have chanceys front end mostly done, needs the hydraulic assist welded on ,  and the steering box attached and tapped, but its at least sittin on tires, these blingin 29's with white steelies.  If i had a real garage i could put the 39.5 IROK's on.  the front axle is about 5.5" foward from stock

[boggerunner [OP]]

i also got the head pulled off of my 4runner, it has a burnt valve on the 3rd cylinder, and a bent valve on 2nd cylinder. good thing i got a couple spares layin around

[chance85]

Holly crap! I didn't expect you to do that much today. Interior looks great. I'm finally on my week off. I'll be by so we can make some serious progress.

[Yota87Truck]

Yeah, where do you get all the time to work on this stuff?

[boggerunner [OP]]

i have no life

[Birfailed]

LoL that's awesome.  Makin good progress.  I'm gonna try to go wheelin this weekend.  Got my crossmember 95% done for the 4 link and orderin brake lines tomorrow.  once the 4 link is in I'll put the truck in the driveway and swap to the new rubber and bleed brakes.  I'm gonna try to get my buddy with the M38 to come out to 29 road again.  This time we'll take it through the ravines and gnarlier stuff since we'll have my 89 out there too.

[Yota87Truck]

Well i wish i had more time in my life to build up my 1 rig... let alone 5 others...

[boggerunner [OP]]

tonight i got the 23 spline input assembled into zacks 2nd tcase, and started assemblying another 22re head for my 4runner till i save up some cash for an hks head gasket for the 7mge/t
no progress on chanceys truck, we decided to drink beer and look at supra motor swaps online all night
