thought id start a build for my 94 SR5 4runner

stock:

4wd IFS
4.88s

build plans:
3.4 swap

You're making your own wire harnes?

Is there nobody that makes one?

Ugh.... I have a lot of research to do.

ORS makes a conversation harness I'm just doing my build on the cheap but if I had the money I'd just buy the harness...

No pics but I did get the tach mod done thanks to a friend/co worker and got my interior back together other than the ecu and glove box area.

still working on the exhaust so the engine isn't fully seated...

waiting on an axle rebuild kit from marlin crawler so I can reassemble and mount the front axle.

tossed a spare 4cyl 4.10 diff in the rear so I can make it mobile again and might run it till I can get a locked V6 3rd to handle the 3.4

[4x4yota]

got some more done...

got my marlin front axle rebuild kit last week

swapped over the 3.0 oil pan w/ new gaskets

got my frame tube shackle mounts even and square


hung the front springs


shackle angle looks good (4" shackle plates on stock 84 front sprinsgs)


front axle set in place


and finally got the rest of my dash back together and the wiring tucked away

little guy helping
