NEW project here we go again

[RockRescue]

Ok so some of you mite remember i built a 4runner last year to drive across country and wheel at all the good places  MOAB Rubicon Fordyce ect ect  well it worked great  but then i had a weak moment and traded it to a friend for his very nice heep    Drove the heep back to FL and sold it 2 weeks later      then i bought a stock Tacoma    and drove it rt back across country  and moved to OR.  I really liked the Tacoma  but it was like haveing a old mans truck   so i sold it  and bought a 85 ex cab to start over  .

I have always wanted to learn how to fly a heli.  Nice DD, I only have a car for a DD.

[RockRescue]

So the plan was to throw some 32 on to bide me over till i collect all may parts .  Well the 32s rub  so i picked up a used lift kit today and got it installed .  Now i can collect all the good stuff  and build this truck all at once .  i will post pics tommorow

[gnob]

where'd you find the snow man?

i am going to pic up some MTRs this week i hope.

you need a navigator for your DD?

been keeping my eye peeled for you when i go by there,

[studentwheeler]

Love the paint job on the runner! Nice xtra cab...miss mine. Some of my best memories are from wheeling that truck as hard as a I could on 32's...

[RockRescue]

I went up by lake of the woods   they are getting snow up there .   Ya   i am hardly ever home  . Sucks i have a new house and am never there

[RockRescue]

Gnob are you going to take the Iroks of your runner ?   My buddie has a set of the older style MTRs   but they are 32s as well .  he is selling them

[fade]

That lift was fun to install today. Darn rusted bolts hah. Glad we got it all done in time though and you made it home safe.

[NorCalToy]

Dnag sucks you got rid of the runner right after building it...whatd the jeep look like or have?

[RockRescue]

good times . .  OK  back to more serius stuff .   I got a rear IFS axle  to swap in i am going to order all new bearings and seals first .  Not sure if i will run rear disks or not ?  i cant say i have ever had a problem  with stock rear brakes ?

[yota4x4sc]

those r some pretty nice fish dude, wat lake??

[RockRescue]

Diamond Lake in OR  and also Applegate res.

[nicci]

why and how could you sell that 4-runner?  talk about clean and gorgeous.  I bet whoever bought it just rubbed their hands in glee when you drove away...I guess at least you can build a new one!

[RockRescue]

I traded it to a friend of mine .  I was sick of him haveing a jeep  so i got him into Toyotas .  Half the fun is Building them for me .  When i built the last 4runner i had no intention of getting rid of it . I drove that thing all over the US last summer   only problem i had was the fuel sending unit went out .  I saw a add for tires for sale but seen a Marlin sticker in the add and called it just to see if by chance he  would have one . Now a year later turns out it was Gnob LOL  i now live rt down the street .  Every time i build one i learn something and try and make the next one better .

[RockRescue]

Went to the junk yard and picked up some blingy door handles off a toyota mini van      Then i picked up some mounts to mount my Hi Lift

[RockRescue]

Ok not sure why My cam wont load the pics rt now ? but i will  figure it out later .  So  the truck has a freshly rebuilt engine  . 1500 miles on it now . It runs good but has just been not 100% .  I have re checked the valves 3 times  re adj the timeing  ect ect . well  it had a broken BVSV   i went to Toyota to get one   and they were $85  umm no thanks   so i  Called up LC e  and orderd the EGR block off plates . I installed them today  and it really smothed out my idle  and seems to be running much better . Plus it cleaned up my engine  alot .  

[84t0y]

got any up close pics of how you mounted the highlift?

you have had some nice builds, ill be watching this one

[RockRescue]

I will take some   more pics of the mount  .  For some reason my Cam wont download into my comp now ?    But thank you  .   this truck has been kinda a fun project  so far  only have had it 2 weeks now .    Today  i helped a guy i know  remove his front 3rd  i guess someone wanted to buy it ? anyways  he gave me the stock asian hubs off of it    so i will swap out these superwinch things .   and when we got the 3rd out it did not have the detroit that it was suposed to have  it was just a lock-rite .  i told him i would give him 50 for it   .   

[RockRescue]

Well not alot to update rt now . I have been really busy with work .  We have been getting some good snow this year so i have been able to go play in it . I am not to impressed with the BFG KM2 in the snow .  i am going to have them sipped and see if that helps them ?      I was also hopeing MC would get some bumpers again ?  who knows if that will ever happen   so i am going to start makeing some tommorow .
