Drool worthy. Looks like your coils up front are 600#? Is that the standard recommended, or did you upsize for the added 5vz weight?

I love everything about this and wish EP had more builds with fab work rather than just bolting on fancy after market parts (nothing wrong with that, just wish it wasn’t so lop sided). Always been a fan of the 80 series SAS projects. Keeps the truck so low and functional. Keep it up and keep...

Crack free dash. That's a unicorn if I've ever seen one. Good find

Any progress lately? Looking great, and I’m digging the fresh SS brake lines. Nicely done

This is what I'm talking about! Great build. I'd love to see some detail shots of how you attached the canvas to the top and shell. Always trying to sort out the best way to do this and keep rain out. Keep us posted on the travels!

I love the early 90’s pick ups. Nothing better than the first time you pull out of the driveway after it’s been sitting for a couple years. Pull that body lift and cut a hole in the hood for the 3.4 swap :)

Loving this build! I was recently researching aluminum radiators to bolster the cooling system on my Gen1 4Runner. I know you are tight on space, but did you add some rubber spacers at the mount points? Seems like this can be critical in avoiding fatigue cracks and radiator leaks on aluminum...

Hey Durwin, The transmission has done everything I asked of it so far. No complaints and smooth shifts (y)

Just wrapped up an 1800 mile trip from San Diego to Utah and back. The 4Runner did great. Looking forward to completing a few more projects to make the next trip even better! Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument A mandatory stop along the way

You're on a tear! Looking great

Been gone for a while and come back another great Gen1 thread! As mentioned earlier, yotatech definitely has the best 3.4 swap info. Here's a thread I started a while back to link to some of the most useful threads I found when going through my swap...

Spun through your pirate thread. Very nicely done!

@aaronglenn, I would look at junk yards for an ECM that matches your donor year and transmission. This will save a lot of time by minimizing the # of wires you have to hunt down in the EWD and re-pin. It's also best for your donor to be of the same transmission type (auto/manual) as the...

This thread is awesome. Recently picked up a 5.4 E350 and I’ve been dreaming of a manual. There is hope!
