So I have a build page on a few other sites and wanted to start one here since I have been spending more time here lately.
So to start with!
1994 4runner stock with about 180k, R150, and 4.30 gears. It was in great shape and was a great starting point for a build.
Stock
after about 3 months, I ordered ball joint spacers, Downey torsion bars, Downey rear 3" springs, and skyjacker shocks, and 33" BFG mud's
Not long after this I took it out wheeling and threw a rod thru the block on the 3.0 motor. So time to start a 4.0 1uz swap.
Swap was done for a while. I opened a shop customizing parts for people for the 1uz swap. I also started bending pipe and making sliders, roof baskets, ect. This was my first set of sliders I built and they were for me.
Decided I wanted a winch bumper. Decided to become a vendor for Sky Manufacturing. I bought there winch bumper and modified it. I also got a deal on a roof basket but didn't like it so that was short lived.
Last pic before the SAS began.
SAS begins.
I went with a 1985 front axle. I am using the Sky wide axle kit, LC62 front rotors, IFS calipers, Longfield hub gears, longfield 27 spline axle shafts, FZJ80 front Elocker with Yukon 4.88 gears. I am using Off Road Solutions double elocker wiring harness. I am using custom built 3" leaf springs for the front, Sky low pro front cross member and sky boomerang shackles.
