another *almost done* 4runner build


Some have seen my 4runner, but its been mainly under construction the past 9 months.


It came with....

Chevy 350 / 700r4 / Dual Toyota Transfer Cases

NWOR front springs

13" bob

Chevy 63" springs

~6-7" Lift


I've gotten most of the major stuff done such as:

37" IROKs

Hi-steer, hydro assist

Toyota-eLocker front/rear

Longfield Axles front, 97 4runner axle rear

Art Carr Shifter

M8000


Cheers to Anthony at Extreme customs for putting on my cage. Perhaps he'll post some pics (I need to get some myself!)


For those who haven't done major builds before (like me), hopefully the following is a good starting checklist of things to at least verify before its ready to wheel... Suggestions appreciated on any of these items!

Front Axle:

  • Seal axle housings (leaking)  --> FIXED
  • Replace ubolts and plates --> FIXED
  • Fix damn elocker --> FIXED

Rear Axle:

  • Replace ubolts --> FIXED
  • Fix damn elocker (yah both are fubar'd) --> FIXED!

Suspension:

  • 4-Link rear --> later
  • 3-link front --> later
  • -- or what is a better way with springs to get flex and a softer ride? I go over a speed bump and the whole thing feel bounces around like its going to fall apart!

Steering:

  • Replace ghetto style reservoir
  • Fix leak in one of the hoses --> I think fixed?

T-Case:

  • Fix forks so they shift right.. the front t-case box can't stay in low-low gear, it keeps popping out. Suggestions aside from ripping it apart?

Interior:

  • Create a custom center console
  • Shield the HOT resistor for elockers, and mount them under the dash -->FIXED
  • Remove rear interior rollbar --> FIXED
  • Custom build side panels for rear, and install sub-boxes :looser:

Engine:

  • New Radiator --> Possibly replace the core? its an advance adapters rad!
  • Dual 10" fans (perhaps these can cool it enough to not need a new rad?)

Before anything was done....
