1st Gen Build

That tree will sneak up on you every time... I almost lost my windows in the 4runner getting past it the few times i ran daniel end to end this year.

You have to smile if you are out playing. Damage is part of the thrill.

I think Tyler was a little upset inside. Considering the body was minty!

The body looks like a used hooker on that side after I put paint on it. Apparently the spray bomb from walmart wasn't a perfect Color match. Who woulda thought. No broken windows though. Just some aerodynamic curves.

Yea it looks like pi$$.

We can't say tinkle? That is a little extreme!

Next mod this week will be a thorough cleaning and I'll be putting in my electric fan thats been sitting in my basement for like a year.

Any updates?

This is the perfect year 4Runner!

Not really. I'm kind of enjoying it not being broken and being able to drive it around everyday. I put some heat insulation from lowes in the back as sound deadener. Works pretty good and cant beat the price. I'm saving up for a header and am planning to rebuild the engine in the summer. Also school takes up a lot of time, but I did find out i'm going to NC State next year for engineering. Since it isn,t really wheeling season yet I've been biking more trying to get back into shape. Might hit up Uwharrie biking this weekend if anyone else is interested.

Well a little update. I bought an addicted off-road front bumper. Same one Casey(4running) has. Should be here soon. Headgasket's pretty much gone, hoping to make it last until the show then i'll rebuild the motor. And finally my brother's hopefully gettting an old 4runner so maybe i'll get to drive it.

Keep it on the road man.....it needs to be front and center at the show!!! I mean, your rig is on the logo!!! LOL...

Got my new bumper today. Thought I would take a picture today before I pulled the engine in the morning.

Ditto! Don't wanna trade for a lifted pickup do you?

She'll be ready. And I dont think I can have anymore cars in the driveway. So far 2 tacomas and 2 lifted first gen 4runners. The gas bill would hate another truck.

Must not forgot that sweet Volvo!

The volvo gets like 40mpg. It doesnt count

Because 2 is better than 1

I know you didn't move all of the cars out of the driveway just so you could get this poser shot

Got the engine back in today. Now its just a push to get her ready for uwharrie. Also gotta put my bumper on.

SWEET!!!! Way to go....so I am going to assume we will get SOME sort of tech writeup out of this???

And I love the pic you you and your brothers 4Runners in the driverway....very cool!

have you still go the '81 PU??

Well the tech on that is, be happy if you have a garage; grill covers and carboard work excellent to keep the rain and pollen off, its really hard to push an engine stand up a hill. And unfortunately I sold the '81 to buy this one. I sold it to a guy in Indian Trail, but last i've heard I think he sold it.

Got the truck back running. Went to Uwharrie today with some 4runner friends. Was happy with the results. Someone or something cut one of my valve stems, so I rode all day with a flat tire and drove home with it too.

How flat was the tire?

It was about 2 psi. It didn't break the bead thankfully.
