well to start it off .. my dad bought this 95 4runner and it was already lifted 7" (4" suspension 3" body ) on 35s for his toy ..



about 2 years later he had a massive heart attack and wasnt able to pull through..:cry2::cry2:



well a year of it setting after his passing my step mom calls me and asks if i want it .. if not shed scrap it .. but i had to give her $500 for it ..

( day i brought it home )



it didnt hardly run . i did a tune up and ended up replacing all 6 injectors .. got it running but still needed work ..
i had to replace a rear 1/4 window , i had bought a bunch of cheap front end parts and had a shop replace everything on it for almost twice they quoted me ( i did it because i didnt have time and ill never do it again .. nor buy cheap parts ... )


well the tires it had where so dry rotted they wouldnt hold air so i bought some 38s from a friend and well to fit em i added a 2" daystar coil spacer in the rear and turned the torsion bars just to level it ( also had to do some trimming ... )



it didnt stay clean long .. found some mud and took it to a bud bog ..



later on i found a hole in my axle from ripping off the upper mount ( damn lift extenders .. )

(not the safest but it held for a month ... )

after a few weeks i bought a parts runner for $200 with a blown hg ..
got my axle and a few other parts , sold some parts , sold the rest .. i made a good profit on it :wink2::wink2:


more coming soon .. ran out of time ... :wink2::wink2:

please stay tuned ...

well remind yall i was in Virginia at this time ... not a lot done to it since the axle ordeal .. i did start a facebook group some may be on , 2nd gen 4runner mafia ..

i did have a pinon seal leak .. no biggie .. also when i learned it was already geared to 5:29s .. but still an open diff .. :whoo:

well that tax season following sadly my gfs dad was in the hospital for a a heart attack and stroke and the same time ( sadly he didnt pull through )
but while at the hospital i was able to score some new tires and wheels ..
37x12.50x16.5 goodyear wrangler mts military ( say what ya want i like the tires )



they performed well in mud ...



btw .. i also installed hids..

not as much as i want has been done to it .. it was a dd for a long time repairing things here and there .. not major modifications other then mud flaps added due to laws ..
(my son not me )


and i made em removeable ..




its parked as of now .. my fan exploded .. took out a bunch of parts ..


bye bye brand new battery ... :cry2::cry2::cry2:

my other wrenching partner ..

removed radiator and all ac crap ..


since ive replaced everything with an external trans cooler .. i have it running but it still needs a new tps .. once i fix that i have all the parts for a rear detroit locker


i have a few other other small projects to piddle with too , but all in all i want an sas and 3.4 .. im trying to go from mud to trails / rocks ...

well im done for now until i make updates so welcome to ask questions , or post comments .. still has a lot of work to do ..
 
yeah yeah ... lol :flipoff::flipoff::flipoff::flipoff:

Hey welcome. My wife and I are also apart of 2g4m. Are you the guy who set it up? I dont do the whole FB thing thats the wifes domain. To much drama for me lol. Anyways welcome to the forum. My 2nd gen is the same color and we are running the same setup. Until i sold my body lift with my parts truck. Figured its just easier to just buy a new one instead of swapping since they are so cheap. this is our runner you may recognize it i know there is a lot of us in the mafia. Welcome again:welcome:
