I also spent some time putting together a switch panel for in my dash. It's pretty much ready to be put in now.

Sick build! Your wiring looks tits. I had a fj80 with a 5.7 vortec 4l60e and a split case and that was a fun rig! You will love the finished product.

Thanks! I'm hoping the 4runner will be a lot of fun!

MtnYota · 06-15-2012, 02:32 PM

Keep up the good work! This is exactly what I have planned for next year but NV4500 to 241/205. You rig is coming out sick.

nick89toy · 06-19-2012, 09:48 PM

Another update:

I got the front gas tank crossmember raised up and I completely replaced the rear gas tank crossmember with square tubing.

here's a poser shot of close to ride height sitting on the hoist.

I got my panhard bracket ready to be welded on.

Also welded my rear link mounts/coil pads welded up and put on my rear axle.

here is the front axle at full bump.

nick89toy · 06-19-2012, 09:50 PM

nick89toy · 06-26-2012, 02:30 AM

Some more:

I finished up the the steering box plate

I also got my upper rear coil mounts done

and the factory panhard bar bracket plated

The rear axle is done with all the brackets welded on

I also got the rear shock mounts done. They are just the top few inches of the ford shock towers.

nick89toy · 06-26-2012, 02:35 AM

And some more random pictures showing the rest of the track-bar bracket put on the front axle and the coilover hoops put on after I made them.

nick89toy · 07-02-2012, 08:15 AM

ok so I actually got a lot done since the last time I uploaded pictures... which means I didn't have a lot of time to take pictures because I was trying to get things done. So it is actually sitting on tires now and the engine, transmission, transmission, transfercases are back in the frame and I put a couple bolts back in the body temporarily. I also temporarily put the grill and front bumper on so that it would look decent and be trailered to the Swap-meet and show n' shine that our club put on. Here are a couple pictures with it washed and out in the sunshine.

nick89toy · 07-02-2012, 08:15 AM

I need to take the body back off to finish things. I will take more pictures for you guys when I do that.

RockRogue · 07-02-2012, 08:25 AM

Damn man you do have OCD... look at how clean everything is!! Love it!

Cool build. I like the look of the flares, I wish there was some company that made huge ones for general application. Like trim'n'fit type stuff.

Nice welding BTW. Clean beads, no undercut, and actual penetration. None of that show-crap stack-a-tack cold junk.

Keep up the work. Looking forward to flex shots and some wheelin pics!

]4RunnerKid[ · 07-02-2012, 08:40 AM

Thanks! Yeah I would really like to drop it a couple inches, the rear was sitting tall so I just adjusted the front coilovers so it would sit level. I'm hoping the rear coils will settle down a little bit, and also when I build a rear bumper and pack tools it will hopefully help bring it down.

I had to stop or I was going to hit the hoist on the other side

Whitesnake · 07-06-2012, 01:01 PM

Nice

rtaylor · 07-06-2012, 01:28 PM

Nice build. A little different direction that I took with mine, but it looks like you have replaced every major part. Keep up the good work.

nick89toy · 08-19-2012, 01:49 PM

I have some pictures for you guys! They aren't necessarily in an exact order of events...

nick89toy · 08-19-2012, 01:52 PM

SierraYota · 08-19-2012, 02:05 PM

Seriously awesome build! Can't imagine having a 5.3 in my yota

4xRob · 08-19-2012, 03:31 PM

Great build man, quick question for you: What width did you end up setting between the front frame rails? And how much clearance do you have from the frame to the headers?

Thanks

Thanks

At the very front there is about 26 1/2" between the inside of the framerails and they taper in as they go back. There is roughly 25 1/2" between the rails where the header collector flanges are. Clearance between the headers and framerails is REALLY tight... like almost touching on the drivers side and about 1/4" on the passenger side.

Wretched502 · 08-20-2012, 02:58 PM

Damn that's clean. Where did you get those flares?

They are bushwacker flares. I got them off ebay. They don't make rear flares of that style for the 2nd gen 4runners so I ordered 2 front sets and did a little triming to make one of the front sets work for the rear

nick89toy · 09-02-2012, 12:40 PM

Front Sway-bar:

What each piece started as

Torsion bar from a 1990 Nissan pickup. It's about 35" inches long

welded washers to cap one side of each spline sleeve

Drivers Side arm

Passenger side

I used set screws to keep the arm from coming off the bar
