93 4runner powered by chevy 4.3

[jetfire]

262ci 4.3 engine, pretty much stock but yeah better than the 3.slow and way more potential as far as performance goes.

Ack! My eyes!!!

I kid, of course. Good looking truck. I don't see a hole in your hood, you must have lifted the body?

 

[BucknutBob]

Is this yours, or just one you looked at? Need more pics of this beast, to check out the other mods. Those poor CV shafts are being cranked to the limit--are they stock, or some of those uber-expensive aftermarket ones that can take the abuse? Looks like a sweet rig!

Gotcha! Good lookin rig, some guys on here love to hate T4Rs with chevy engines, just a warning. But KIDV loves them. He will chat your ear off about it.

I got no problem with 'em, I just like flicking crap at Bucknut and his engine makes a great target.

 

[combatmedic]

That is a nice clean engine by the way Jetfire.

Did you do all the work? Or buy it dropped in there already?

 

[jetfire]

motor was dropped in, but he was having alot issues, 1 of of them was fuel related, basically traded the guy my 91 red 4runner for it.

me and buddies went to the junkyard and put in a bmw fuel pump, with a return line, fuel pressure regulator, and gauge.... solved the problem

 

[Bad_Vision]

holy suspension time bomb!!!
other then that it looks nice!
be weary of the eddlebrock they tend to drown out on steep inclines

 

[jetfire]

whys my suspension a time bomb? lol

 

[GonOvr]

Dont ask why, but the NW guys can run big tires on IFS lifts and get away with it. I believe it is from constantly being wet so tires slip more than they grab.

 

[GonOvr]

Just taking a stab but im guessing you live west of the cascades judging by the pictures.

 

[Bad_Vision]

with the a arms are tweaked so far out the camber and aggressive tires will destroy your joints and cv shafts.

 

[jetfire]

well if it helps any, im looking for some nice all terrains again...

 

[Bad_Vision]

nope at that angle just about any tire is going to damage the front end parts but you might as well get use to that because IFS is always a pain in the wallet for that reason.
you might try turning the torsion bars down a little.

He's got manual hubs. The CVs aren't spinning unless he's locked in, and when he is he's generally going slower. Also that looks like a bracket lift, the CVs are steep but the a-arms aren't. His CVs are not in mortal danger. He could use a little diff drop, but that has drawbacks too.

some people wanted another pic, so heres 1 , sorry just cell phone pics so far... i wanna take it out and get some real pics soon
