[Dingman.]

Put a new grill on since mine fell off.


Whats that a 2wd one?  Idk. Better than the old one i guess, cant beat free

[Dingman.]

the paint job on that 1st gen is awesome.

Yea i like that 4runner, when he got it, it was super clean.  Gotta love spri.g snow sliding ya into trees lol

[86bobbedtoy]

[Dingman.]

Bought a 4runner tonight.  For parts anyways.  Runs. 

[Dingman.]

[Peterbuilt84]

I might be interested in the brake booster.

Nice build btw

[Dingman.]

what parts u needin?

i got it for the trans mostly since mine is going,  that trans has well under half as many miles as mine.
Also for the rear axle shafts since mine have like an 1/8th inch missing on the end of both splines, spare diff for when i blow another one, steering box to hopefully tap it.

I might be interested in the brake booster.

Nice build btw

Thank you.  When i get a chance to mess with the runner ill see if its good and let you know.  Prob wont be for a few days

I worked it out with kasey where i bought the runner and we are keepin it at his place since i dont have a place to store it.


Im gonna take what i need, (trans,tcase, steering box, and rear axle parts)  hes gonna take the motor and some other things. Then sell whatever anyone needs,  and go scrap the rest and split the profits on the scrap yard total.

i get the radiator!

So my trans is on its last leg i think, the whole way up from chico today it was whining pretty good.  Chattering when taking off, and just dropped a buddy off at his house and when i pushed in my clutch it made some super shitty noise,  let off and it went away,  havent heard it since.

With that said, stopped by matts house and am gonna end up buying his v6 adaptor soon, going to go buy and pick up two cases tomorrow.  And hopefully on monday maybe order two 23 spline gears to convert them and hopefully assemble my other trans with all the new tcase setup and just run my truck how it is, hopefully it doesnt out in the next couple of weeks.  Then if all goes as planned i can swap in the whole other good trans with duals at the same time.

[Dingman.]

Grabbed this from a buddys house,  color is really close.  Maybe ill put it on my hood one of these days.






Heath, i picked up a bunch of ammo today, might head to the range tomorrow. If so you wanna roll?

[86bobbedtoy]

depends on the time,
I can roll at 9am ?

you said it made noise when u pushed in your clutch?
thats a throw out bearing
think about it,

[Dingman.]

Yea thats what i figured.  Its just weird its all garbage at once.. you know?

Im sure you were the one doing all the whining dingaling

[Dingman.]

It sounded like i had a turbo because the tranny. 

[yota_krawler]

You need to be hunting for a maroon driver fender and door, it would look pretty clean again... The hood scoop looks hella cool! You could make it legit and cut out your hood wart lmao

[runr-meech]

Did you find those parts lastnight? I think I have a whole fuelrail at the smog shop.Let me know if you still need it .

[Dingman.]

Ill have to call my buddy and find out if he got it fixed.

[yota_krawler]

One is a forward shift and the other is a top shift.

Matt found me someone selling both of those so i grabbed them.

Im gonna order the correct v6 adaptor for matt and we will trade since he ordered the one for my trans on accident.
Hopefully i can order some marlin 23 spline gears and maybe a crossmember too tomorroe

[Dingman.]

Ordered a tacoma adaptor today, gonna trade matt for his new v6 adaptor since be picked up the wrong one.

I have searched and cannot find any 23 spline inputs at all.  Anybody know who has them in stock?  I would buy asap.

Guess when i get home ill order a longfield chromo output.  Maybe a crossmember.

[THK Matt]
