Hi everyone..... As I am new to this forum, I am not new to the rock crawler scene. I had sold my first rig I built five years ago(91 4runner) and was looking to build me another rig so I picked up an 87 4runner to start my new project...

My buddy and I got straight to work on this 87 4runner. I only paid 500 buck for it but I knew we had are work cut out being it had a blown 22 re engine, automatic transmission and worst of all an Ifs front suspension. So after about 3 weeks of working on this rig after work I have manged to remover the engine, transmission, cut off ifs and remove rear diff.
Here are some of the stuff I have installed or getting ready to install:
Rebuilt 22re with new everything.... Installed
5 speed transmission, two transfer cases
 with marlin crawler rotated dual case adapter..... Built but not installed
Full gusseted front 85 axle with ifs hubs, floating rotors and high steer.... Installed
Front marlin crawler 5 inch sprins..... Installed
Rear 63" chevy springs...... Installed

Those are some of the things I have done and still need stuff like gears, tires and drive lines.....
