Mocking up the 4th gen rear axle and correcting the pinion angle. Pretty wide I’ve also been busy designing some rear upper shock mounts, removing everything IFS and all the rear suspension. Today has been full of sandblasting and starting the Blazeland LT install from TNA And here it...

I still need to wet sand/buff the hardtop and some of the black accents but the majority of the truck is buffed. I’m kind of thinking I might ceramic coat it, but i don’t know much about that stuff and not too many of my friends have direct experience/feedback with it so I’m not too sure. I...

Some more “while I’m in there work” Monstaliner inside quarters and rear floor Noico 80 mil sound deadener. Also going to be putting it in the doors and tailgate

Bam! Ferrari 792 - Grigio Scuro In some light it looks gray but in others it looks green. It’s pretty dependent on the light source and surroundings which gives it a very unique and hard to identify color. It still needs a wet sand and buff/polish and all the gloss black accents installed...

Likewise! I’m about tired of working 15+ hour days on it everyday. Who have you been trying to contact? Nate at Blazeland isn’t doing WIY kits anymore and I think the ones he does build are a lottery system of who gets to purchase. Alex at TNA performance in Utah is who I’ve been dealing with...

Yeah King got hit hard with the shut downs in California and Blazeland is a different animal all together if you’re going that route. I think TC might be the only in stock front LT parts supplier but they require coilovers and hoops. The front I am running the 4” lift bilstien 5100s with the...

Haha it would be mean if I waited until my Blazeland WIY kit is in and installed with the truck completely back together before posting a pic. Maybe I’ll get the truck out in the sun tomorrow and post one up. It’s an Italian flavor... Quarter panels came out so flat so I’m stoked. Like studying...

Got several coats of fill primer on last week blocking each coat down before spraying another. My wheels came in today after a 3ish week wait after ordering them when they were “in stock”. I had read conflicting reports about the centerbores clearing the part time hubs and emailed into...

Weekly update: Body work is nearly there. I’ve got a few small areas to perfect but the bulk of the work is done. I’ve got to block it down with some 220 and 320, spray a full coat of full primer and repeat that process going to 400 grit. Hopefully, I’ll be pulling the windshield and spraying...

Productive week. I’ve got the 4.88 2nd gen diff ready to go. I replaced the seals, sandblasted it, and painted it. I also built a rear tire mount for the roll bar as I don’t want to have a swing out at this time. I’ve also got the quarter panels skim coated and I’ll be finishing up the body work...

Awesome! I think you’ll be happy staying with the IFS vs going SAS. Having an 80 with solid axle is great and SAS runners have their place, but then having the nimble ifs 4runner is like the best of both worlds. There was another flare option brought to my attention the other day on insta...

Yeah exactly! I’m jumping into a lot of this blind so hopefully everything I put here streamlines the process a little bit for others looking at the same path. I think you’re pretty much where I was in my first several months of ownership except you’re having to do a motor swap right off the...

Yeah definitely. It’s always easier to remove material than add it back in so the flares have been on and off probably a hundred times by now. They have mounting flanges around the top edge but the thickness of them varies and I’ve had to flatten a lot of them down so they sit closer to the body...

Thanks! Its pretty satisfying bringing this one back to life. Yeah so the Hannemann’s were a little bit of a let down when I removed them from the box. I looked into full fiberglass bedsides but there wasn’t really anything that kept the OEM lines (saw some early taco conversion bedsides etc). I...

It’s been a pretty drastic week for the runner. I started an instagram for it where I post more daily updates if anyone is interested in that... https://instagram.com/therallyrunner?igshid=183ev9w06vtuw In otherwords, I’ve got the fiberglass mostly on. The fronts are about 80% of the way...

I’ve been chugging away on various projects. No word on what’s going on with my King shocks and it seems like my Blazeland WIY front Lt kit is a couple weeks out. I sandblasted and painted the bumpers and rear axle. I picked up Seymour Stainless steel paint on amazon for $8/can as it looked the...

Rear bumper is kind of done. Once again I put too much time into this thing for what it is playing with angles and what not trying to make the square tube work. I went through about 4 iterations before ending up with this version. Originally I had wanted to keep the entire top of the bumper at...

Made a trip out to NWA last weekend. On the way back I took a detour and picked up a 4th gen 4runner rear axle. I’m pretty relieved that my 15” wheels barely fit over the calipers and rotors so I won’t have to change out to some 5th gen 17” wheels I have sitting around. I’ve got it cleaned up...

I’ve been curious as well. Really hoping this project hasn’t been abandoned

Buttoned everything up late last night. Fresh 555 ends on the tierod and drag link, new Longfield chromoly birfs, OEM axle shafts, bearings, and knuckle wipers. Feels good to look under there and not see disgusting knuckles. I also topped off the fluid in the t case, refilled the engine oil...
