Finishing a coiled-over idea

Truck:
1990 4runner, bobbed with p/u tailgae
3.4l, dual cases, SAS, 4.88s, full Detroits, hydrauilc assist, 3-link, coilovers

CLEAN!! never been wheeled. It was used as an advertisement truck. I flexed it out and the 35"s scrubbed BAD . Not a little "What was that noise?" more like POWPOWPOW "Oh hell, you just chunked the tires."

Ive only ever had a 22r/re in a yota and this thing balled the tires on pavement with the 4.88s . If I feel much of a loss with the 37"s Ive got some 5.29s that Ill put in.

To do:
Front end rebuild, 30 Spines, hub gears, upgrade hub studs, real high steer with beefy rods, upgrade driveshafts, rebuild one coilover, trim fenders for 37"s, move steering ram <-- fix leaks, tighten-up bumpers, add cooler for steering, full exo <--Only b/c the truck is SO clean, remove gay stickers, flush all fluids (is the radiator fluid supposed to be brown ), swaybar, and whatever I break the first trip out.
The links in the front look weak to me and are my biggest concern. Ill take some pics and post.

No too bad a list. The cage will be the most time consuming and I hope that the links will hold up to a good skinny pedal pounding

I like to build my own stuff for many reasons BUT I am on a budget and will gladly buy a ready built crewcabish tacoma thing with a 3.4l and duals in it, I did get into this money pit sport to RIDE right? Im basically looking at this like a pile of parts and expecting nothing, but hoping for the best.


What i bought
