Willy Wonka: 87 4runner, 5VZ, SAS w/ FJ62,

[helipilot77]

Welcome to page three.
I had that exact same problem on my 22-re.

[zippo]

Yeah, the next step was to test things with a NOID light, but it didn't come to that.

[Dingman.]

So what are the rest of your plans for this?

[zippo]

I'm thinking 3link the front, Leaf the rear, sitting on diamonds, duals t-case all on 38's. But the wallet will determine how fast all that gets done.

[zippo]

So I slapped some new brakes on the front of my runner today. Went from a stock 87 4cyl caliper to a 89 V6 caliper. Also flushed the brake system with new fluid. This is always a great upgrade. was able to lock up the 31's that are on the truck. Down the road I will upgrade the MC and rear drums, but for now i'm happy.

So, when I picked them up from the parts store I took the 4cyl caliper and turn them in as a core. With both caliper sitting side by side, the part store guy, looked a little puzzled they looked so different, them put them in a bag and I walked out. It makes me giggle. How do you not notice this? or do they just not care as long as they get a caliper. Could  I take in some busted GM calipers?

[Dingman.]

all my buddy's keep telling me to take in some toy calipers for cores on the dana44 calipers i bought. i have not done it, because i would assume they want the same part back.

[helipilot77]

I'm going to do that. I am in the middle of a full front axle rebuild right now. Nice timing.

SUMMER TIME BABY!



Blasted and painted the wipers, ther look almost new!



Upgrades to a 1" MC and removed the LSPV. Awesome upgrade as always! it will put you through the windshield.







INK!!!

[zippo]

So I got in a bar fight last night with a leprechaun, ended up with a black eye, new wheels and tires. Black steelies with 32/11.5/15 BFG All-Terrain T/A KO2. I was going to get KM2's but I will wait till I SAS and move up to 37's. They look so much better then those shinny, mismatched, air bags that were on it before.

[zippo]

So recenlty while playing around I found it. I knew I have it somewhere, though not as bad as it could have been. Stupid Rust... I have seen several yotas rust here. I'm not sure if its the gasket or spilled brake fluid.



Cleaned it all up.



POR15!





Threw in a new Clutch Master and a used double diaphram booster.

[zippo]

So been doing some small things. Put a new PS pump in.

Built a Power Tank on the cheap. Came in under 100 bucks! Traded an extra tank of tri mix for a bottle of C02 and bought an oxygen regulator. Swapped out the inlet pipe to fit, added an air chuck. Works like a charm.



I have one of those extra safe 4runners, so no rear seat belt was installed. I have no idea what bolt it takes, nothing I have seems to fit, but a drill tap and heli coil fixed it. 1/8 plate steel.



I need to get some better straps.

[Wainiha]

Nice build.  I need a regulator for my CO2.  I've been airing up without one.   

[porkchop88]

This is one extremely clean, well built 4runner. I wish i could get my pickup truck to look this good.

Please keep us update on the progress with this.

[dropzone]

You  might see if you can find a fire extinguisher bracket, I paid $15 for a used bracket that fits a 10lb CO2 bottles.

[zippo]

So I have had a lot going on, and well the runner has been getting neglected. Well no more. I have something fun planned! I got the first step done tonight.





Front diff is pulled. No its not a SAS, and No its not getting a locker (though I might throw a spartan in if they go on sale"). You will never guess what next!

[1985CRAWLER]

long travel? diff drop? ifs lift? what can it be if no sas?

[Nation]

Making it a 2 wheel drive?

[zidaro]

tell me your putting in a centered supra!! and you would rule

[helipilot77]

HaHa! I know what he's doin. But I'm not saying a word!

[zippo]

So while it was out, I found a spartan locker for about 300 shipped to the door. Couldn't say no. Install time was about an hour. But awesome funs is still to come!

[zippo]

So some progress and set backs.

My stick on oil pan idea turned out to be a terrible idea. I just couldn't get it to hold oil...... Maybe a different tape?





Found an used oil pan, junya92toy tigged a -8 AN bung in, so I put that back in. Thanks Junya92toy!







So let me just say, Putting an IFS diff in by yourself.... Sucks.

[86bobbedtoy]

turbo?

[Nation]

Sweet!

[zippo]

Wrong side for turbo drain. Right side for a supercharger.

[zippo]

Soooo. I finally got it! I know some people will dog me about putting money into a 22re and not just swapping, but I have always wanted to do this! Supercharger TIME! I should be around 5lbs of boost. We shall see!!!!! I will try and take a lot of pics and what not. Its hard to find a lot online... I picked it up from the factory to. Camden is local to me. They are super nice!
