Stated life as a decent family rig. Rolled it at AOP labor day weekend. Stupid mistake no cage. Cutting it up gonna do a ftoy style buggy now.
Its a 22re dual stock cases 5:29 gears with high pinion front. This 4runner worked awesome i hate it got trashed but safe is better.

Way off subject but if you are going to scrap the rear door on it. Anyway I could buy or get the window regulator unit out of it? Honestly I really only need the track that the window goes in but will take whatever is attached to make it easier if you aren't going to need or use it.

I figured I'd tell you before it's too late, but I built mine the same way you're building yours (although it is an Explorer) and mine feels a bit wide from building the cage the same dimensions as the former body. Have a good sit down in the seat with a door bar tacked in and see how it feels. If I had mine to do over, I would have boatsided and narrowed it.

Thanks man I picked up a perfect body today for it gonna throw it on and do an exocage. I hated the look of it from the start. I was about to start an all new chassis because i hated it so bad but I'm keeping the body to keep my little girl out of the elements and safe...
