What's new

Flooded 1981 Toyota Pickup Revival

Scored another parts vehicle over the weekend. 84 4runner that is a tad bit rusty. Has some good parts to it. LC brake upgrades up front, 22re, W56, top shit t-case, 4.88s, PS, AC, good top, etc. Also included was a bunch of suspension upgrades for the 81. It has a full marlin kit with leaves f/r, 5150 bilsteins, new IFS box, a disassembled front axle, and a bunch or stuff this guy bought new and never installed.

The RE is locked up solid in the 4runner. Apparently has a blown headgasket. Ill try (not hard) to see if i can get the engine unstuck. I plan on using the rear marlin springs up front along with the shocks, hangers, etc that came with the kit. Ill also swap in the w56 in place of the L50/52. I have to pull the t-case anyways.

As i picked it up.

It was a sharp looking runner before the rust and neglect took over. Love me some BFG KM1 tires. I did get them to hold air to roll it off the trailer.

Thats it for now. im going to be offshore with work for the next 5ish weeks. Maybe ill end up getting some Hellfire or FROR 80 knuckles for the front of this thing.
Buy the FROR ones so i can see how they work. :lmao: :flipoff2:
 
Never seen a 4runner rust like that. Coastal vehicle?
originally a florida vehicle but we are pretty humid here in the houston area. It sat under the tree since 07 just rusting away. From the doors forward, its not bad at all.
