You’re not wrong…. But I have a feeling during this build phase the bed will get scuffed up enough. I know it was the wrong timing to go ahead and paint it but since it was already bare metal I wanted to prime it and painting is the next step...

A friend of mine offered me a warn m8000, so I took an hour to liberate it from his shorty prado. It's been reverse wound as it only works in revers right now. Quickly figured out why.... At least one blown solenoid, maybe 2. Looking around...

So nice!

And liner. Bought the adjustable raptor gun, my life has changed!!!

I installed a @Racer65 CityRacer rear mat this weekend. Well it was in there draped over my new rear heater for most of last week, but I actually cut and fit it this weekend. It's a really nice mat, I'm loving it! Nice faux leather grain...

Stupidest project yet on my restoration. The spare tire carrier, its broken and stripped wheel studs. Deconstructing this to change those out is a task but Now for paint prep… Welding in total darkness outside my garage. Turned out good enough

Reinforce the frame a little bit today... The bottom C-channel is very thin after all rust removal.. it maybe not really need it at this area of the frame.. but feels better now..

Little by little I have been making the fender wells permanent and fixing cracks, broken spot welds and hammering out dents as best I can. The fender wells are in place and I am glad to have that done. This bed over all is pretty solid...

Got the bed all scuffed down and seam sealer applied

Bought one of these two test fit.

Small things here and there done. Correct sized bolts on the prop shaft done. All the cab bolts to correct length and tigtlhtened down. Speedo working on the acewell cluster. That was a bit of a mission. I was trying to figure out a way to use...

This is such an epic build for me, really wanted something with some punch to it; however those wagons look really nice! Thanks for sharing!

Under the category of ‘why did I wait so long?’… After cleaning up the 45 from the front suspension upgrade last week, I decided that I didn’t like how crusty/old the DoetchTech shocks that I got from Downey ~15years ago were looking, so I...

In that one is probably the best looking 4x4 vehicle ever made and the other is not? To be fair, they're not too bad these newer ones, so long as they don't go nuts with those silly angry eye bumper kits

Not the right audience, but I guess they look a bit similar… 😂

Can't chime in too much with the offsets and such, but I'm also one for a steel rim. Pro whites to me give it such a period correct vibe :grinpimp:

What do you all think about the SCS Ray 10 on this project? The come in a 17x9 -38 which i think is similar to stock wheel that I have been using for mockups. deep dish design...

Been years now since I posted here with 40 content but I thought this was a pretty cool pick up.... jumped on the opportunity for a few OEM SSTs.

Bodywork progress

Sorry to resurrect this but this happens to me A LOT! Hahaha Good point @Tank5 I’m on the cusp of researching and compiling now

New kicks...

I am almost done fitting the passenger fender well with the added cover over the gas and filler tube. I repurposed some more 40 series rear fender well parts to make the last piece of the fender well. I have many midnights into slicing...

Raptor on bottom. I have learned to do it in the shade and not full sun…. Which meant that I had to keep pushing it around the driveway. I will let it dry for a week then flip it over…. In the meantime I should be able to do the bodywork on...

Well, finally an update on the cruiser. Made a little money and was able to get my rims and tyres. 285/75/r16. So a 33" basically. Really like the look, brings the whole build onto better proportion. For those interested the brand is Sailun...

The ultimate big brake kit for the 80 series can’t be 4runner stuff😂 All the parts are in, now to get these into the computer
