KWP's 92 4Runner build ( finished front tube pics)

[KWP]

I have finally got some updates. The rear axle is now done and under my pile. Here is the rear

[KWP]

 And now how my 4runner sits with the rear under it. I still need to narrow the front and put a little body lift under it to clear the tires better but here are the pics

[whiteman]

  The front seems wider than the rear.  Did i miss somthing. 

Looks like you are going to have some serious rubbage in the rear.  Can that axle be moved back any more?

Not trying pick you truck apart by any means, just asking

This build brought to you by....  "spare rims!!" 

Your runner is looking awesome.  What size are the Pitt Bull Rockers?

He still needs to narrow up the front, just finished the rear.

[whiteman]

I missed the narrowing part.  Thanks

I am going to move the rear back about an inch and a half and put a 2 inch body lift under it to clear things a little better. Kinda tight right now Also when I get back to the front it will be abot 9 inches narrower than now. Should match the rear pretty close.

Thanks for the kind words. The rockers are 39.5x16.50/17 I can't wait to get these things on the trail to see how well they work.  Did you like the axle stands

   I think I am going to go a different rout with this thing now Since I have gotten the new job I have a little extra money to throw around now. I think I am going to buy a tow rig and chop this thing up a little more since it will more than likely never see the road again. For now I think I will start with less sheet metal and run a buggy leaf for the rear suspension and start saving for air shocks to link it front and rear I also need to cage this thing. I plan to buy a harbor freight bender and some good old poop pipe to bend me one up soon. For the engine, trans and cases I plan to throw in a 350 on propane and a th350 trans with a 203-205 doubler, of course this will be later down the road. what do yall think?   

[KWP]

I just picked me up a new tow rig. It's a 2001 Ford F250 super duty 4x4. It has the 7.3 powerstroke turbo diesel and 6 speed tranny.I got home too late tonight to take good pics but I will have some up tomarrow for sure. I guess it's chopity chop time for the runner I plan to put a K&N filter on it as well as find a good chip and exaust soon. I'll keep ya'll posted on the mods  

[KWP]

Here's the new tow rig pics. This thing should tow the pile with no problem

 I like the look of your 4Runner. Mine is somewhat like yours.

Sweet 4runner man. How well do you like the chopped top? I am diggin mine with a big shovel and I havn't even gotten it on the trail yet.

I like the chop. It leaks a little, not as bad as my leaky sun roof.

[northtoy]

Nice build up so far. Is the soft top going to be permanent, or are you going to weld in something eventually?

Actually I have been thinking of ditching the soft top all together since it's now a trailer queen. I'm also going to pull the doors off too 

[KWP]

 I finally got to work on the pile a little today I got the rear axle centered under it now and I also cut my front fenders out straight like a flat fender. I still need to machine my front hubs, hopefully I can get that done sometime this week Then it's all down hill from there. lots of little lose ends to tie up and then it's time to GET IT. I should have pics up tomarrow

[KWP]

Allright, I finally have a few update pics. The rear is now centered in the wheel wells and I chopped my front fenders. I have decided not to narrow the front, instead I am going to put wheel spacers on the rear. I just need to get them ordered sometime. well on with the pics

[whiteman]

Savage!!!    I love it, looks like it is going to tear up.  Let us know how you like the Pitbull tires once you get to abuse them.

Thanks, I will definatelly let ya'll know how they do. I hope to have it going within the next couple of weeks for at least a test run It's killing me to not get to drive it.

 I got to work on the turd pile today for a little while before it started raining. wouldn't you know I get a Saturday off and it rains. The front brakes are done though, I'll start on the rear lines tomarrow and get my rear shaft hooked up. I still need to build the front shaft and make my adapter plate for the 3/4 ton master cylinder and it will be driveable again exept for the rear wheel spacers, Oh and I still need to mount my rear shocks.

[KWP]

Well, the pile should be moving under it's own power by sunday All thats left is mounting the master cylinder, installing the steering arm and drag link, front D shaft and bleeding the brakes.

[Shamb]

looking good, I've decided to ditch the fenders completely and chop the hood to the inside of the headlights. Mount some Hella's in the grill...

Rubbage what a pain.

I've thought about doing that too. When I get the money saved to link it  I probably will along with building a partial exo while i'm at it.

[KWP]

 Well, it's not going to be done this weekend. It won't stop raining long enouph to do anything  :tantrum:Maybe next weekend the weather will be a little better

[KWP]

While it wasn't raining today I got the 3/4 ton master cylinder mounted and the brakes plumbed up. Now I just need to get the steering done, spacers for the rear axle,finish the front drive shaft and the rear brakes. I need to get two banjo fittings for the rear calipers and they will be done.it's getting closer, I already have a camping trip to disney in the works. If anybody is interested in joining in shoot me a PM.

[rockscrambler]

[high lakes wheeler]

WOW! That runner is amazing! Have fun!

[KWP]

 Thanks for the replies .It's been killing me to have it parked for so long. Hopefully in a couple of weeks I will finally be able to wheel this thing again
