Hey everybody so i recently traded my stock 97 4runner for a 95 SAS ext cab pickup. Its semi built and still needs some work but as of now its my daily driver to and from school so everything im doing to it can only be done when the money and time are all there. So here are a few pictures for now and ill keep everybody posted on anything else that i do to it. -Gonzo

No front drive shaft.....yet!

Will put up more specs later.

Alright so for my first project i wanted to fix the shifters up a bit. The way he had it set up was so he could control the dual seperately. I liked that idea but wanted to make it more official.

Before.

after

Let me know what you guys think.
Ill be patching up the hole hopefully next weekend so ill post pics of that also.

Alright guys heres a little update on what has been going on. First of all the back end was bothering me not only the way it rode but the way it looked. I didnt like the rake so i

my truck down to marlins and picked up some shorter u-bolts this is how big the block was that i was removing from the rear.

So as i got the rear axle all hooked back up i noticed that the shocks were way too tall for the amount of travel needed. So i grabbed my old pro-comps blacked them out and replaced them. keep in mind the shocks are just temporary until i find the money to get some bilsteins.

Heres a look at what i took off and what i put on and the final look of it all.

Note: I was going through all my suspension and tightening up bolts since it had been a while since i had done it and as i was tightening the last bolt on my front driver hanger i noticed the bolt was stripped. It would no longer tighten but it was loosening more and more. So i went down to the hardware store grabbed a new one and was happy that i caught it early enough.

those rear lower shock tabs sure are thin.

Next on the list is to buy another vehicle or motorcycle to drive when your truck breaks down.

GONZO97 · « **Reply #13 on:** Sep 02, 2009, 10:19:39 PM »

I am actually saving up for another car to commute in. lets just say that eleven mpg isnt my favorite thing in the world. I plan on beefing up those lower shock tabs as well when i get the time to do so.

THK Matt · « **Reply #14 on:** Sep 03, 2009, 11:31:31 AM »

those shocks look really close together...

GONZO97 · « **Reply #15 on:** Sep 05, 2009, 12:57:44 AM »

they are really too close together i plan on redoing how they mount completely from the axel and to the frame. The was it was set up was a little sketchy to me so i plan to make it a lot better but it just seems like there is just not enough time in the world in order to do what i want. Oh hey does anyone know why my crawl box keeps violently popping into neutral while im just driving down the road? I really need to know why this is doing this because having to pull over on the freeway isnt exactly my favorite activity any help would be greatly appreciated

yotaismygame · « **Reply #16 on:** Sep 06, 2009, 10:53:25 PM »

could be that the shift rails wernt trimmed. like when you have the front case in low and the rear in hi they hit.......

maybe??

GONZO97 · « **Reply #18 on:** Sep 07, 2009, 10:19:38 PM »

thats the thing that im not sure about. Because itll pop out as im just driving down the freeway and it is very aggravating bacause i have to pull off to the side and put it back into gear. I mean there has to be a way to fix it im just not too sure how to accomplish that. And thanks luvyota appreciate the support

Toyospearo · « **Reply #19 on:** Sep 08, 2009, 09:23:32 PM »

GONZO97 · « **Reply #22 on:** Sep 08, 2009, 10:24:03 PM »

lol yeah your lucky that your getting a new one the old one i have is just bumming me out because it keeps popping in and out of gear while im driving down the freeway which is quite aggravating. But you just have to play with the cards that you are dealt. but congrats on the transfer case
