Sleeper's blue smurf build/repair thread
Well i am now a proud owner of a 97 SR5. Needs work,i traded my 92 Nissan hard body straight across for it. I'm going to get a front half welded soon, the front end is all messed up and nothing is straight so a new front half is in order.




And a stress crack near the fire wall


Does anyone know what this wire is? Its held up by a ziptie and if i move it, it runs like ass. If you need a better picture i can take one


And the rear lift gate is all messed up also.



And here is the runner.





Thanks for looking, updates soon.

Interesting color. So was it in an accident or something?

I traded my '94 Nissan Pathfinder in on my 4Runner too. Best decision I ever made.

Welcome.

Yeah it is smurfed up pretty bad but the light blue is the factory color and the darker blue is what the guy found in a rattle can after the body work.

the wire you are wondering about is the electrical connection to your coil pack. its what fires 2 cylinders.

Whats up Idaho buddy!

So can I buy that wire or should i just take it out and re-pin it? I guess it has a short but i don't know if its the wire or the pins(clips)

DUDE i know! you shpuld see the can of paint he used. ill send a pic when i can, i was blowin away!

so i decided to change oil and fuel filter and seafoam the goods, along the way i noticed something else i need to replace, my right inner axle boot.



and of it in the air, i work at a ford dealership so working on the Runner is quite easy.



also the guy said it has a 3inch lift, i know nothing about lifted trucks (i was a car guy until now) but the only thing i could see was on the front springs there is this plate and nothing on the rear, everything else looks stock to me?

and i guess i can't leave out my other project which i'm selling now because i love this 4Runner, its a 1974 Datsun 260Z with a small block Dodge 318 V8








i am a auto crosser so racing and building is in my blood (its a family thing) but now i have a family of my own and we can enjoy this 4Runner together out anywhere we want, not just on a track
although i might want to supercharge this thing because i am a bit addicted to speed but it will have to wait till i get the rest of the Runner fixed up.

not familiar with strut spacers, but it's probably a combination of that and rear lift springs.

edit: keep that damn datsun lol. As much as I love my truck... I miss being able to autox. soon of course, never sold the focus..
just giving it a radical drivetrain conversion.

true but i don't want to see it sit around when i know if i sell it, it will get used for what i built it for. i have built many cars, i just sold my 89 honda CRX with a B16 swap that was track build as well. it sucks to sell fun cars but sometimes you got to do whats right, and right now the datsun only gets driven 4 month out of the year, the rest of the time it sits while it snows and rains. Sad really.
