85 4Runner "The Hot Rod" build

[JBurt]

Hot damn!

 

[85RedRunner]

Lets see if I can remember it all...
Thumb throttle, new shocks, repaired faulty high beams, swapped in a ifs rear axle, did some rearrangements with the rear tube work, added in a few tie downs, and some angle iron on the bed sides with more tie downs.... just a lot of prep work for the Rubicon. Oh yea, and fj80 brake master cylinder.

Assisted in the recovery of a 5th gen 4runner, over-built overlander , that wanted to give the rocks a try... no bueno.

As a 5th gen owner, that hurts. I read your entire thread last night. Very well done. We will be adding a first gen to the stable next year if all goes well. Wife wants a soft top for the beach. Wasn't a hard sell when I showed her your rig.

Looked painful for sure. Let the pros handle the rocks

Expensive lessons.

Finally got around to matching the front speakers, replacing the stock (I think?) Ones. Then just before checking out I noticed the Siriusxm antenna was $70 with a $70 mail in rebate. I now have satellite radio and bluetooth phone in my rock crawler lol.

Oh.. and for the record, I passed CA smog on the first try yesterday. [emoji119]

$10.45 on eBay. I bought the same shifter a couple years ago, just haven't looked it up.

We did 4 days/3 nights. Spent a lot of time just drinking, eatting, swimming, etc. Too much fun.
