I'm not in a place to do that, I wish I was. Once my current truck is done and I'm ready for a new project I'm gonna have you guys running all over Socal looking for a truck for me though. The Grey Bastard goes nice and slow, but I think the next project is gonna go faaaaaaaaaaaast. An '88 or '89 with a blown 3.0 will be a good start.

Love those wiper arms, CoB.

Is this the same paint you used on your shell

 

[ChildrenOfBodom]

Thanks KidV.



Pisa, yes, it is the same paint.

 

[Surf89]

Thanks KidV.



Pisa, yes, it is the same paint.

James, the 4Runner currently sits with a Zuk mod and no front end suspension lift??

The removal of the front mbumper valance/lip really balances out the higher rear. It looks lifted. Very nice.

I bought it from a specialty paint store, you won't find it at an auto parts store

Sweet I'll hit you up for some work soon. Currently got a 3rd gen half way through a CV job and some shocks need to be installed on the 1st gen.

Yes sir, no suspension lift, haven't even cranked the torsions. I agree, the rear bumper may also come off too but that'll be down the line.

Paid a visit to Ace Muffler in Westminister, CA. Heard some good things about their work. Also did not trust my usual exhaust shop as they've changed welders.

One of two oxygen sensor flanges. This one came from LC Engineering. I extended the oxygen sensor wire to accommodate the new location. The wideband O2 is at the top near the turbo outlet.

Still a lot to go before she hits the road, or the dirt. Hate to say this, but it's going to be a pavement pounder for the most part.

Have fun though, I'd love to join you someday when all is said and I done.


I got the paint from "The Paint Store" in Laguna Niguel. They supply body shops.

Took care of some other stuff. The chrome bumpers were not looking too good after this many years. A few minutes with some Crazy Clean and a brillo pad shined them up pretty well.

Replaced the driver's front fender trim. Junkyard find. The old one had a few dents and a bend.
