Thank you The white one is what i am going to redo . I dont have the Zebra 4runner anymore But i do have another 89 4runner it is red with the black top . To many projects lol . This is going to be a fun build i am going to paint Or get a Wrap so it looks like the old school toyota race trucks . I think i mite do the wrap Becuse if and when i get rock rash it would be cheaper to just get a new sticker than to repaint .

Got my Marlin front Bumper on

FLRunner · « **Reply #10 on:** Apr 04, 2009, 01:34:07 PM »

I have done some other things also that i need to get pics of. I just put new Bearings and seals in the rear axle took the stupid Bug deflector thing off . I also changed out all the interior . When i bought it it had a rear set out of who knows what ? and the front seats were Red with covers on them so i found a complet 4runner and pulled all the interior out and put it in mine .

Also i put new exhaust on the PO had a lame $That\'s Gay$ duel exhaust set up . I cut the rear brake adjusting rod off and spent about the last 5 hours putting a order together . I will be getting a 5 inch Marlin rear lift kit New sliders and a MC rear bumper Then i can cut the nerf bars off and the rear bumper off The PO welded them on and i can ditch the body lift . Just not sure if i will clear with the 36 iroks with just the IFS lift ? I also picked up a 81-83 front axle and have started working on it . just cut all the extra crap off and grinded smooth . I will be coming out west this summer to do some wheeling so i am going to try and get as much done as possible Just dont want to get to crazy till my extra work picks back up

Ok so i want to SAS now But not sure what to do . I do not want to get it apart then end up needing to get other things so i need some help . I have 3000 i can spend rt this second so should i Get the rear kit (Blocks Now ) and a good locker . since its a DD and will be putting Major miles on it this summer . Or should i get the Front kit , a set of gears and Long 30 spline axles ? I hate the IFS but in reality I have gone many places with IFS . I will be doing a Long trip this summer and will drive From FL to Ca and stop at as many places as i can to do some camping and wheeling .

I also got Rock sliders so they dumb Rock anchors (Nerf Bars)can get cut off . MC is out of stock on the rear Bumpers Rt now so hopefully in the next week or so they will have them and i can get that on . IF not i will swing by there shop on my Trip and pick one up .
