New Aussie Member - 94 Lexus V8 4Runner - Pics

Twisty · Jul 4, 2006

Hey All,

Just stumbled accross the forum and thought I'd join up and say hey! I live in Australia and drive a 94 4runner which has had a Lexus 4.0l V8 (1UZ-FE) conversion and a heap of other mods.

Specs Are
94 Toyota 4Runner
1UZ-FE Lexus 4.0l V8 Conversion (32 Valve, Quad Cam, 190kw)
80 Series Cruiser Coils in Rear (bout 4" Lift) BJ Spacers up Front (bout 3.5" lift)
Rancho Adjustable 9000x Shocks on all corners
2" bodylift
17x9 Brute B201 Wheels with 315/75/R17 (35x12.5) Mickey Thomson MTZ Tyres (or sometimes 15x10 Mickey Thomson Classic II's with 37x14 Iroks)
Custom trimmed interior with Recaro Seats up front.
TJM Fendre Flares
TJM Bullbar (customised with clear turn signals and 100mm driving ligths)
Airtec Snorkel
Nissan Patrol Bonnet Scoop
and other bits and pieces.

Some pics of it on the 35's

And on the 15x10 Classic Locks and 37x14 Iroks (also had 3" bodylift in for these pics, but it's been dropped back to 2" since)

I agree. I wonder what you use the garage for since there is no way that 4runner will fit?

Glad you's all like it

With the 35's on the 4runner, it actually does still 'just' fit.....but since we are living at the mother in laws while we save for a house deposit, the garage is usually full anyway, so the 4runner stays outside.......I do get one half of it but....which is filled with my other toy.

Sweet!! V8 conversion! I have a 93 that needs more power. What else do they have to replace? Transmission?

Just curious. Not that I am too interested because I have a 2 week old '06 Sport V8 in the garage along side the 93 too.

That looks awesome! Good work!

Nah, since I originally had the 3.0l V6 it already has the stronger tranny, so just got an adpater kit to bolt of the Lexus V8 to it......everything else seems to be coping fine with the extra power.
