Daily Driver 3RZ 4Runner Build

Man that is coming together nicely, i am gonna have to get with your bumper guy that is pretty sweet, good price too.
 
Went to pick up a 22R and tons of parts for my Corona project, then, wouldn't you know it, he has a centerforce clutch for a 3RZ just laying around, less than 5k easy miles, and I got it for 50$!, was already planning on getting one, but now I can get to my rear bumper that much sooner.
 
My tires and Heep rims

It's going to need a bit of lift to clear these.

This is making me worry about clearance, but i know for sure I'm sitting noticeably lower than any 4WD 3rd gen i see anywhere, possibly 2"? Lowest factory 3rd gen springs I believe. So my 6.5" of lift may be about 8.5" on my truck?
 
Gave it a wash today, it's been a few months.

I'm always conflicted because the dust hides most of the paint defects, but it does look pretty decent all washed.

I also mounted my half-done satoshi'd grill, I'm sick of not having a grill, but can't find mesh anywhere, I would buy online, but can't find a good piece under like 40$ shipped. I can get a full sheet of expanded for that much.

I'm very excited to start the exterior transformation soon.

Found this at the junkyard today when I went to grab the seat heater switches from the Infiniti.

99+ Center Console + Dash center, kind of weary about swapping the Dash because of all the wiring, kind of have to though, should be ok since I only have the rear window switch and lighting to wire in though, instead of having all the other stuff.
 
Got my new bodylift in from 4crawler, aiming to get all my lift stuff installed weekend after next, hopefully no jobs come up.

Finally made my stereo stuff look nice. Eventually I'll probably get another ZCON 18, and another Incriminator 20.1, and build a removable wall.

Carpet on the box and bottom of the amp rack, tan vinyl inserts on the sides of the box. Still trying to figure out the amp cover, going to make a tinted plexiglass nisert with led's that light up on a switch for when I'm showing it off.

Too many wires, not enough space.

Finally got my satoshi 100 percent done. This is the first purple to go on the truck.

And got my front springs and shackles coated. So I have everything to lift it, will be doing that once I get the motor out of my corona and the hoist is empty.

My front bumper is delayed a bit because the welder who is putting them together for us is very busy since it's harvest season and most of his clients are farmers.
 
Finally got my exhaust manifold swapped out for the "new" one.

Sounds way better with no exhaust leak.

Look at this mess, looks like it's been repaired at least 3 times on each side.

My intake boots were pretty shredded too, so when I had it off, I decided to make a new intake pipe, which also got rid of the ugly silencers.
 
Something failed in the shifter today while I was running to the post office... I'm guessing it's the bushings or something, so now I've got a shifter that will spin 360 degrees. Kind of a pain to drive it back home that way, and I think I looked like a bit of a fool at the stop signs too.
 
Ran up to Washington to pick up some limited doors, couldn't install the door moorings on my passenger doors because of some previous bodywork, so I decided to just get the doors with moldings on them already.

Sorry for the bad picture.
