Against my better judgment.... A bj70 project

good ol 22re, once that head gasket is in it'll outlast every body on it!

Haha body's actually pretty good, and it already has a few more km than my cruiser does

 

[franken60]

Oh right on, those 4runners sure know how to rust....something must be wrong with it haha

Isn't that the same model and engine that was in the Alaska race on TV ?

The 2nd gen 4runner in the show had a 3.4l v6 swapped in to purge it of the 3.0l
The other 1st gen 4runner had the 2.4l 22re

Not hugely motivated to sell. but I've kind of realized I can really afford both vehicles, and if I had to choose the cruiser wins. And without carrying a camper or something I really don't have a real use for it. It is fun though.

If I had the space and cash flow I'd buy it off you in a heartbeat.... Absolute dream truck

Thanks, and I will be adding the pyro. Probably going to order one of those digital ones. They give you to option of a weld on bung as well.

Nice work Graham! Looks compact and sturdy. That is going to be pretty nice. You'll be running away from me on the hills I'm sure.

How did you make the holes in the square tubing? Did you use a mill?

Just a hole saw on a drill press. Kind of cooked it on the last hole though.

The other 1st gen 4runner had the 2.4l 22re

I think the 2nd gen had the original 3.0, cuz they said it had 150 hp. 1st gen did have 22RE, which died.

I seem to remember them saying it had a 3.4l, but I could be wrong.
And that's what happens when you let your tweaked out brother from Alaska drive who's never driven a stick let alone 4x4 with one haha. They beat that truck to s***. Poor thing still had the IFS too
