1981 custom package w/ rear sliding windows, GT rollbar, front bench seat and factory tachometer
T19 transmission swap. 5:1 first with synchro'd 1st and 2nd (unlike 'granny' T18 and NP435)
Mildly build 4.9 300 straight six (Holley...

well ive been wanting to make a thread for awhile, but its always felt like i havnt really done anything
1986 4runner that i bought pretty much built, 22re dual cases, 37's locked front and rear
well it turns out when i bought it that most of the parts were at the end of there lifespan, this...
I got the 88 rolling and carried it to the alignment shop. It has all of 14 miles on it post-SAS but it feels kinda sloppy. I got the toe in to about 1/8" and it runs true, no death wobble even without a steering stabilizer. i did notice that when i turn left, the right side of the truck dips...
Always lurked on the og and now here. have a build on tacomaworld but not much real fabrication or wheeling goes on over there. Doing a big overhaul so figured I’d post up as I go here
backstory is it’s my first car. Cut it up at 18 in parents garage 5 years ago to convert it to 4wd and put it...
I searched but didn't really come up with an answer on spacers for a SAS and how to deal with the 3" difference between the ifs rear and the straight axle front. The obvious and simple solution would be to put 1.5" spacers on it to set the wheels out but this seems like it would put a lot of...
Well, I see the light at the end of the (very expensive) tunnel. I decided to SAS my 88 because basically everything on the IFS was wore out and I was tired of replacing parts. To top it off, I hit something driving down the road and something broke in the front end. Driving it back to the house...
Just looking for the important minor details of a sas on a ttb truck.

So I bought this factory e-locker 1997 4runner with 212k miles and timing belt done and wheeled it with the stock balding 31s on it for the last year. I decided I wanted to do something I have always wanted to try so I pursued solid axle swapping it.

Hello,
So I want to share my build with you guys, it is a budget built and a work in progress
It started as my daily a (still a daily) 2.6 gas Montero, ran it on 33s with no lift just a little bit of trimming.... suspension components started dying, so it was time for a rebuild or....
so...
Ok,I bought an original owner 3rd gen, drove it a year stock, and got made fun of for buying a truck with "a million miles on it" (275K) I put 10K on it in a year. Then I tore into it, standard stuff nothing earth shattering.
Porting this over here, I figure I can not make progress on this site instead. :flipoff2: It will seem a little choppy since I wont be grabbing all the updates, just the important and current ones.
I originally got part way into a buggy build and realized after getting married and buying a...
A repost from the old Pirate... looking to keep the thread and updates going
Quick recap of how I got to where I am today... Bought this truck bone stock with a blown motor back in 2014 for $1k... dropped in a salvage yard motor and all the usual stuff (clutch, Seals, gaskets) and got it road...
