My new ride.
For those of you who haven't heard.... I drug this home a month ago, and have been slowly rehabilitating it.
I'm going to build it cheap and just wheel it, so I can stop worrying about my nice 4Runner... It's an 85 4Runner, with a solid axle, EFI and a 5 speed. It was the top of the line when new, and it's kind of sad now, but at least it's getting a second lease on life! Even if it's only being kept alive so I can try to kill it....

No, that's "we stole this truck and don't want it to be red anymore so lets paint it with latex paint" green... It's had a rough life...

An 85 is always cool, no matter it's history. Congrat's!
Now: Why weren't you at my recent BBQ?? :tapping foot:

Take the old sunroof out of my 4runner, Its cracked but still intact. Bring a razor knife because I caulked it in since the drains were always plugged and it leaked so bad.

I'm going to bob this pretty heavily, and it's sporting Jamister's half top right now... And I already filled the sunroof hole with plywood... I don't like the sun much anyway... I will let you all know if I need parts though.
I ordered a Marlin dual case adapter, and am going to build square driveshafts for it. That with the bob, and some armor is about the extent of the plan at this point.

That truck is so bad he has to keep it chained up in the yard like a pit bull! 
Cool! Good luck on the build!

If you need access to a welder, you're welcome to use mine.
