What do I have going on

Reviving an old thread just an update...

So I installed my long travel kit and shocks over the last few weekends and began looking at the front end of my 1996 4Runner and thinking about some of the stuff I learned in this thread.

Well it would appear that my truck was hit good and the front clip was replaced like mentioned with a 98-02 front clip. Check out the shotty bugger welds I found on the inner fender supports and the welds around the frame horns for the bumper

Just more reason to cut it off and tube chassis / engine cage the front of this truck at some point. Just gotta figure out how to mount the lights and grille decently so they line up with hood and project light down the road instead of into the sky and also work with some sort of inner fender to mount the fuse box, charcoal canister, abs computer thing, air box and throttle position sensor stuff.

Yeah, it’s pretty bad... not sure I want to dive into the bondo issue I see in the passenger rear quarter panel. Underneath in the shock / frame area it looks decent but the rear window / tail light area sheet metal looks to have a decent amount of bondo in it.

I bought the truck for $1500 so I don’t feel ripped off burnt sure woulda been a little nicer putting $6k worth of parts on something else. But like I mentioned above, just more reason to figure out an engine cage when I go to put a roll cage in it next year
