85 4Runner restoration/build

Lucky for me I totaled my 2004 Tacoma, and was able to justify buying my dream truck, an 85 4Runner. The original owner had done a few mods, lifted 3in, regeared to 4.56, 33's, winch, lights, custom bumpers and sliders. And the only problems were a welded diff, ugly interior, and some rust.

My plan is to restore it to a respectable appearance. Mostly get rid of the rust and clean up the interior.

Current mods

Cold air intake
Custom front bumper
Warn winch
2 pro comp lights
Front Axle relocated 3in forward
Custom rear bumper w/ swing out tire carrier
Sliders
4.56
Welded rear diff (for now)
Corbeau seats
Magnaflow 40 exhaust
33in tires

My only concern would be parts. Are they readibly available or do you have to search around.

Looks Great. I bet that rig will be able to go pretty much anywhere you want to take it
