If anyone wants to inherit someone else's headache, here you got. SAS'ed '88 4runner with a Chevy vortec engine. The thing looks sweet! Told him I got a spare kidney but no dice.
She's so purdy 20' away though...
I didn't think the 80 alternator outputs high enough to satisfy an Odyssey or DHP batts. I killed couple of DHP batts in the past so I no longer use that tech batt in my 80.
Under the 80, the tank line is this line with an outer hose type of protection. I simply separated the two, then cut it and bent it using a 9mm deep socket. It was already bent out from the other two from the factory, so I didn't have to bend...
This is a must do if you want some premium space freed up on the driver side wheel well after deleting the ABS. All credit belongs @TYM4FUN who led the way of sticking a GM evap canister under his rig. I did a modified version of his project...
Worked on installing the winch inside Isabelle's front bumper. The winch is wired up and the control box will be installed inside the engine bay. Had to move up the ATF cooler out of the way of the winch.

I took these out of my 80 last week, and they've been sitting there unused for the last 15 years or so. I deleted my second row long time ago. How about $45 + shipping?
Trans cooler is in and plumbed…IC is in and access holes have been cut for the silicone 90’s bringing the plumbing into the engine bay…will clock the turbo next weeekend and plumb in the intercooler…looks like it’ll play nice going by eyeball
Yeah, should be a cool build...
Tangentially related, I was bummed to hear about the Toyota World Runners folks (from the YouTube video linked above). Apparently they had an accident and well, RIP.
Sorry if I killed the mood in here... Still a...
Definitely a tragedy to lose people with such a zest for life, and abitions for creativity, they definitely were a huge inspiration for this build, I hope I can do Sunday some justice with my backwoods / non sponsored version of a Chinook on a...

US Shift has finally released their 10R80 transmission controller. Now we can use this awesome trans. Just need adapter to 1FZ. I have one made that also mates to the stock transfer case but it will be a while before I try it. This is the...
I think this thread might be the place to find the answer I'm seeking. I think I have close to 175-200# on the roof. Which shocks help with a bloated/top heavy body from wallowing? In another words, I need the body to stop moving right after...
For those with smaller rigs, 40's, 70 series I did research to see which 270's were the lightest & shortest.
For weight & size I found that Ironman's XTR71 & the 23Zero offerings were the lightest & shortest out there.
I went with the Ironman as...
Saw this on FB marketplace, old millitary trailer for $650
