Can you post up some more pics, interior, engine bay, ect....

Thanks
 
I will be continually adding pictures of the rig. Here are a few before I replaced the stock bling bumper and after. Just so nobody gets confused, that's my younger brother driving. I almost prefer him driving so I can just watch it and take pics of it. Is that weird?

Keep them coming, I have a buddy thats very interested.
 
Here you can tell I was worried about going to fast in that tight of a turn. I kept letting my foot off the gas as you can hear from the high RPMs and the blow off valve. If you pay attention, you can see my kids head bobbing in the back.

April 2009 Moab, UT
I was having trouble because I didn't have the rear locker wired up. Of course it doesn't help having wet tires. Plus, they say I don't get on the gas enough...

I have had a lot of good questions via text and email, etc.

This vehicle averages 16 MPG.

There is a factory sunroof.

It came with A/C but haven't bothered with it since the swap. I just take the top off usually. The pluming (the hard part) is all still there. I have a compressor for the buyer.
 
Even when I think I have covered just about everything, another great question comes out...

I lost track of exactly how much lift this thing has. It does have a 2" body lift (which is necessary for the I-6 swap), maybe 1" additional lift in shackles. I think it gets more complicated when you try to factor in the Marlin Crawler SAS stuff plus the rear Marlin spring hangers are now welded lower on the frame.
 
23 spline turbo t-case with Marlin's latest 4.7 kit sealed up with Toyota's orange FIPG.
Factory 4Runner locker switch (the locker needs to be wired up)
A little flex at Little Moab.

Any rust? Is the title clear? What condition are the front seats in? Is this reliable enough & geared correctly (with that motors powerband) for someone to drive it home or across country? Is all the emissions equipment in place for that motor to pass a smog test? Any good pics of the damage to the tailgate?
 
Great questions. The title is clear. It has always passed here in Utah from day one, no problems. It is reliable enough and geared properly for driving it across country if necessary and even as a daily driver if one wanted. I have a guy interested in coming down from Canada right now. :eek: I am very glad I went with the 4.88 gears. Seems like the perfect option for this setup, plus last time I checked using my GPS, the speedometer was right on! I will post pictures of the front seats tomorrow as well as the tailgate damage including the new tailgate coming in the package. Also I should have time to take a picture of the rust areas.
 
The swap. The stock "3000" intake pipe has been removed and replaced with a larger piping. GReddy blow off valve. Timing belt has 6k on it

You would have it up FS when I have 5 vehicles and a boat in the driveway.........plus 2 ATV's. OUCH.

Need to sell off some stuff, but can't decide which one/s to let go besides the boat........


Cool build.....Good luck w/ the sale......

Thanks! I like that!

"HOT ROD RUNNER"

Hey something that I wanted to mention as I am looking over my rig,
The cruise control doesn't work, I never hooked up the tach after the install, and you should already know about the A/C.

I have a AutoMeter tach if the buyer is interested brand new in box.
