I like it!!!!!
I look forward to seeing your build, all the ideas sound awesome.
IMO run a flat or stakebed on that thing, it'll give lots of clearance, and be easier to clean out whatever gunk caused the initial rot.

I think I heard Cruiserdan say that it was an option in 85 for 2wd then 86 and 87 for 4x4's?

oddly enough this project was going to involve ripping my 85 4x4 apart but ive gathered so many parts if i can just find extra front knuckles i wont need to touch my 85...then ill have 4 4x4's...

86 and 87. 88 (& 89) was the introduction of the 14mm head bolt, and asbestos head gasket V6. (IIRC)

90 is when the 3.turd started showing its problems. That's when they changed the head bolt size and HG material. (IIRC)

AT's were the only trans you could get in the Turbo 4Runners, while both AT and 5 speeds (R150 and R151f) were available in the Turbo 2WD and 4WD trucks.

uggh! to many G.D. projects

was busy building a motor for the AE86 over the winter and now thats hit a snag so Im back to the rig.

wasn't to excited about having to use a 4runner frame and mine was decent but still starting to rust...randomly cruising the JDMchicago forum I find this 90 2wd "rust free" cab and box and frame with spool, fabtech 2wd lift and 3" body lift. $300 later my dad's in chicago picking it up for me! (like as we speak)

SOO this project is back on! watch for updates and more pic's! cant wait to have a turbo Elock'd vintage painted "hilux"
