Howdy folks, This build is being continued on iH8mud. 3rd gen 4Runner, Racing Build | IH8MUD Forum

It is! It gets 50 smiles per gallon and 5 thumbs up per mile.

Photo Dump! Seats and harnesses are in! Spec roll cage is done. Still a long road to Baja, but this milestone feels oh so good. Cheers!

The roll cage is completely welded and gusseted. A full 6+ point, Score compliant roll cage. Currently, I am designing and fabricating the seat mounts.

SOLD!!! For sale is a 3rd gen 4runner rear bumper and tire carrier made by Shrockworks! I love this bumper, and I don't need to sell it. Reason for sale? I am building the 4runner into a race truck to race in the Baja1000, and my spec roll cage mounts interfere with this beautifully used and...

rear down diagonals and door bars are in Rear diagonals are in, and the door bars are in too. However, I'm X'ing the door bar area to give it more protection with Score tech's guidance. The upper red bar will probably be added once seats are in---even though this approach will make getting in...

Driveable now Howdy folks, A good update. The A pillar and B pillar frame mounts are welded in, which puts back into the driveable state. However, it's helmets-on from here on out. Really stiffens the frame alot. Next up, phase 3 of the roll cage build, which is the lower section of the cage...

Top half is done and painted. Now it's on to the side protection and lower cagework.

About 24 out of 55 gussets have been welded in place, 5 of them welded all around. I'll finish tying in the corners once the welds on both sides of the plates are complete.

The roll cage has been lowered to weldup the overhead connections. These pictures are out of date, as the connections are fully welded now. The frame mounts have been gusseted and painted--they will be bolted onto the frame and rock sliders, then welded-to once final fabrication is...

Don't remember. UCA's were a good long while ago.

Started welding up the seatbelt tubing and the rear connecting areas between the B and C Pillars. That, and the A and B pillar mounts are in place. The mounts are slugged, drilled, and bridge accross the frame and the rock sliders that were welded to the frame a while ago.

Overhead members are in position. Next up are braces between the B Pillar and C Pillars that connect to this node.
