I want to buy some of these decals for my '86 4Runner... can you hook up the person you snagged them from?

also correct size pictures. yay!

Okay you've officially motivated me to long travel my 2nd gen!! Holy shit, this thing is RAAAAAD!!

I understand the front end modifications with the Total Chaos kit rather completely, however, I'm still figuring out what needs to happen to the rear end... Mind if I ask a few questions?

1) So you did a leaf spring conversion. Did you keep the stock axle and 8" differential?

2) Track width: Now that the front is 6+ inches wider, did you match that width in the rear? Or just go with a wider front than rear?

3) Fiberglass: I really like what guys are doing on these with the front fenders, but on these 4Runners, it seems way harder than on the pickup configurations. I see on yours that you don't have any aftermarket rear fiberglass. What are your thoughts on this? Also, is your hood an aftermarket fiberglass one, or did you modify the OEM hood to have the scoop?

4) Can you advise on brands and sources for the coil-overs, and bipass shocks?

Again, freaking awesome build man!! You just need to throw a supercharged 3.4 in that thing now ;)

Here's my SC'ed 3.4 swapped Runner that I've been dreaming of adding LT to....

1)Stock axle as far as im aware,

2) i did not match the rear to the front. Still drove and looked good enough!

3.) I believe it was a glassworks kit from the previous owner. It was super light. As far as rear fiberglass goes, the kit is huge and bulky and i didnt see it as a financially necessary decision. Aftermarket hood. (previous owner though)

4) I loved my Fox suspension on that truck, i had zero problems. But ive heard great things about King as far as tuning, or calling them and having them help valve it correctly for you.

5) I sold it, you should have bought it!

Hello,
Sorry to dredge up this very old thread but I am the current owner of this rig and I am putting it up for sale. Its currently in Atlanta, GA now and I figured since there was such an extensive build thread for it here, it might be a good place to notify that its available.

Sine I have owned it I had some aftermarket beefier 4.88 gears put in the rear diff cause the stock ones took a beating. I replaced a couple window motors and the brake booster and master cylinder. Still a fun truck, I didn't get to use it offroad much but was surprised at some of the obstacles it went up. It definitely shines in dirt road bombing, the suspension is amazing.

Since I am not a frequent user here (had to make an account finally to post) you can email me [email protected] if you'd like to know more. Oh and its listed on CL for 7500, but I'll take 6k. It still has the great Corbeau heated seats!

WOW! Great to see this thing still running! Still miss it. Great deal for anyone who's nearby!

IF you have any more pics or video please feel free to send it my way, I'd just like it for my own records. [email protected]

Goodluck with sale!
