So, even thought I'm battling the misfires, I've done a couple things here and there.

Broke the back window, so did this:



Going to do the other side as well. I think it looks pretty BA.

Also worked on the rack a little bit. This is the prototype until I can buy some 1" OD tube to bend and weld.







Wired up the switch box. I'll get some pics of that up tonight when it gets dark so you can see the switches and such.

Well if I were to guess who'd do it, it would have been you brock hahaha, that thing gets scarier every day hahha
 
I'd grab a leak-down tester and perform a leak down test next. That way either the valves (head to the machine shop) or the rings (another engine) will be known to be the culprit. No guesswork. I would think Singtoe would have one.

After adding the oil, and getting a higher reading, even though not by too much, I'd guess rings are the real culprit with the valves being bad just as an added bonus for your misery per se.

Keep us informed.
 
Told ya I'd get these up tonight. Here ya go.

Headlights:




Highbeams:




Single 6"x9" KC Long range light:




Single 6"x9" KC Long Range light and (2) Hella 6" Rounds(6x9 in center):




Rear lights:




Switch box. All OFF:




Switch box; all ON:




Switch box; (2) ON, (2) OFF:




Took those with my iPhone. When my buddy gets back, I'll grab him and his fancy shmancy camera and we'll get some better ones.

Two things I learned though.

1) I need to move my rack back a little bit, or make some kind of visor for the windshield

2) my switch box is a cunt hair too big. So, I'm gonna make another one, and make it a little smaller.

Whatcha think?

The box in a bit big. I accidently arc'd it on the dash frame yesterday when messing with it. Heard it and thought " AWWWWWWW SHIT!!!!!" Lol.

I'm going to make another one that is slightly smaller, but I'm going to make it a bit differently also. I'm going to keep my ARB switches by the door, and put switches for a winch and all that other jazz. Maybe a couple more for side and rock lights.



The lights shine onto the windshield. Makes it kinda hard to see out of the front while you're driving. I'm wither going to make a little visor type thing to cut some of the light off, or move the rack back about 6" so that the cutoff is more on the roof, and not so much on the windshield.
 
So did the ABS delete and compressor relocation.

You'll need the following:

Brake line
Bender
flare tool
fittings
something to cut the brake line without pinching it.

Basically, I got creative and made my own brake lines. Then I ran them.

To make this easier on yourself, go to a Pull-a-part and get the lines out of a non-abs runner or Tacoma.

Lost a Wheel bearing, had to fix that. Luckily it didn't destroy the hub.

I can see a middle aged guy working on some metal, soldering, sitting at a Dora the Explorer table, with a cigarette in his mouth. Yeah, you were definitely in the military..

Yeah, that's my work table when the baby goes to bed. LOL. I can't tell you how many times Ive gone from the couch, to the garage, back to the couch leaning over that table, burning the shit out of myself on a soldering iron, with a cancer stick hanging out my mouth.

Oh. Still am in the military. Got another 17 months on this contract!
 
Ready for some carnage? Looks like I know what I'm getting with my taxes.

Did a little work tonight. Nothing too fancy. Finally. Had some shit going on, so not much time/motivation for anything.

This is part of my completely removable drawer system for my 1st gen roll bar. The drawers come out, along with the support system. I'm going to be adding a mount up top for my subs.

I figured this way, if I need the back of the Runner for trips, or something big, I can take the system out and have the room.

Both drawers slide, as well as come completely off.

This is the most hillbilly ghettotastic 4runner build thread i've ever seen in my entire life, AND I LOVE IT!!!!!! rock on!
 
SOO. Made some changes to my switch box.

Decided to keep the ARB switches where they were, by my left knee, and use the box for what I designed it for. The switches.

I now have 7 switches. JESUS! 7 SWITCHES!!! WTF are they all for?!?!?!

I also ran all the wiring for EVERYTHING while I had the box out. Didn't want to have to pull it out again......

Well, here's the break-down.

When I get my bumpers, I'm going to add 3 lights to the front. A single 6x9 long range light, and 2 6" Hella. The same set up I'm running on my roof rack right now.

So, the break down is, from left to right:

1) Center Bumper 6x9
2) Side Bumper 6"(2)
3) Center Roof 6x9
4) Side Roof 6"(2)
5) Back Roof(2)
6) Alley Lights
7) Rock Lights.

That's a lot of damn light. Oh well. It'll be put to good use. :)

Anyway. Onward with the pics.

Rats nest of wiring under the dash.
