Body comparisons

chim · August 14, 2009, 08:59:46 PM

And a couple extra for the heck of it...

chim · August 14, 2009, 09:04:00 PM

Does anyone know where there are some good wiring diagrams online that print out well...

chim · August 16, 2009, 06:15:29 PM

I worked on my piles this weekend for a couple hours..was able to get the engine harness out... wasnt to hard at all!

SpeedFreak · August 16, 2009, 10:53:07 PM

Hey man this is the guy you bought it from, did you get that head gasket fixed?

chim · August 17, 2009, 07:56:04 AM

No not yet.. Im going to get the body off first before I do any engine work.. that way its easier access...

WHITE_TRASH · August 17, 2009, 08:28:57 AM

If you have never worked with a 3rd gen wiring harness you'll love it... The early trucks are fawking nightmares to deal with compared to them... Everything is separate and put together with some thought... I'd love to take that red body off your hands but my wife would kick my ass.

The harness was way easier than I expected! It was encouraging because electrical is not my strong point!

I was thinking of just hauling the body off to the scraper after I strip it to get some $$ for it.. but maybe I should leave it together for a while? Trade me some parts for it.. You know your wife will fall in love with it

WHITE_TRASH · August 17, 2009, 09:13:03 AM

Uhh No, she's be pissed if I changed the direction of the truck yet again....

Check out the trashy trailer build in the tow rig section... That's what's taking up our time and making the mess around here right now.

chim · August 17, 2009, 09:26:32 AM

haha.. I saw that!! yeah.. with that thing, you are not going to have room for anything for a while!

chim · August 22, 2009, 10:58:56 PM

Friday I worked on getting the body off of the 92...

Then rocked a new lowrider

The wrastled myself a rolling chassis!

chim · August 22, 2009, 11:03:50 PM

Here are some before pics of chassis before power washing...

Here are some after shots.. btw - can anyone identify this tranny? Im guessing its a R150f?

with a chain drive t-case for sure...

WHITE_TRASH · August 22, 2009, 11:24:51 PM

Looks like a G-58. Is there a disconnect on the driver side tube coming out of the diff?

chim · August 22, 2009, 11:38:39 PM

Im not sure what disconnect you are talking about.. but I took your idea and compared my pics to the ones on Marlins site and it does look like a G-58.. Are these any good? Do they use the same dual case adapter as the W56 if I use dual gear driven cases?

WHITE_TRASH · August 22, 2009, 11:47:21 PM

It's a G series so it's rather weak, even if there is an adapter I wouldn't use it... A W56 will drop right in there and make your life way easier.

As for teh disconnect it is a lot like the disconnect you see on dodge and jeep front ends. It disconnects the inner shaft so there is no bind due to having drive flanges. It is all part of the shift on the fly ability of the G series.

Hey Chim do you have any interest in selling the door latch backer? It looks like both Runners have grey interior so I figured you would end up with extras.

chim · August 23, 2009, 08:46:24 AM

Im not sure what piece you are talking about??

crawlerdad · August 23, 2009, 11:51:56 AM

I didn't know what to call this. This is off my old truck, I need grey for my runner.

First to second gen runners are different. They look the same but they mount differently.

chim · August 23, 2009, 04:14:08 PM

Too bad it wont work I would have said Yes I do!

whitey1 · August 23, 2009, 04:22:11 PM

I got a couple. parting out a grey 88 4runner

chim · August 23, 2009, 04:39:45 PM

Did a little bit of work today.. got the dashes torn out. I am going to swap them because one is in better condition that the other.. but I need to swap vin numbers before I put the good one back in.

chim · August 28, 2009, 08:14:13 PM

This is usually my day to rock some work on the runner.. But before I could work on it I had to get the oil pan gasket changed on the daily...

Then afterwards I worked on getting the peddle clusters swapped out from auto to clutch.. here are a couple pics...

chim · August 30, 2009, 06:59:59 PM

Just bought an axle last night... hub to hub... 1985 - stock gears... super clean! $180!!!

Halladay · August 30, 2009, 10:23:07 PM

coming along good man! nice work...

84t0y · August 31, 2009, 11:38:31 AM

looks nice, wish i could take my body off and pressure wash everything.

chim · August 31, 2009, 11:49:57 AM

Thanks guys! It doesnt seem like much is happening yet.. but small tedious things are coming together.. just nothing major to show for it yet...

84t0y - The body is surprisingly easy to pull off.. in fact even easier on a truck!

84t0y · August 31, 2009, 12:12:17 PM

oh im sure i could do it, but im not gonna just because its more work then its worth.

THK Matt · September 10, 2009, 11:50:19 AM
