BOOOOOOO.... But hey how much for the wheels?
Joey
Which wheels, the steelies? I might be keen to sell those.
Finally got some room. Had an idiot friend buy an FZJ80 recently. We went and looked at a SUPER nice rig he found here, locally. But he's retarded and somehow ended up not listening to anything I said and showed up in the most mechanically clapped out truck I've seen in a while from diffs filled with water, to windows off track. Interior equally bad. Paid 9k for a BHG special. Didn't even realize it had lockers til the drive from Dallas to Leander when he had to wait for it to cool off (SUPER face palm). He didn't seem happy when I told him he's the most unobservant person I've met in my entire life and that Helen Keller would've been pissed she wasted her time to even check it out...
I felt so bad about how s***ty it was that I had the VC and intake powdered Texture Black (not wrinkle) and painted the raised lettering on the cover gold. It made me feel better about charging him to do a Head Gasket on something that shoulda been a parts truck. Worst part is, he already purchased a part time kit for the 97 and reduction gears and wanted them in this, so he's DEEP in, and steel needs a front diff rebuild; pinion bearings are smoked, didn't like the water in the diff, or the damaged driveshaft from the sway bar being in the stock spot and having chingos of lift. So HG, studs, t chain, new front cover and oil pump, rear main, part time, knuckle rebuild, and a cloth seat swap, it's gone and no longer my problem.
This 3rd gen 4runner was also leaving, so I took advantage of the winch. There was zero reasonable way to get the 100 back in without a winch or effing some stuff up trying to use a tow strap. This 4runner is COOL! SUPER proud of this one as it started it's second life as a 2wd 60k mile certified used vehicle 19 years ago that my friend ended up with after his Ranger got stolen. A few years ago he wanted to get into a 4wd version of his rig, but at 120k he had the cleanest 3rd gen around. At that point I swapped it to 4wd with 4.30s from 4.10s, OEM E-locker out back, Eaton e locker up front, and a j shift t case and Tacoma manual locking hubs. Full skids, all the things, he's done 40k of adventure with it since on the same OME lift it had. It was TERRIBLE. This month I tossed the 100 series rear shocks on since he had someone add some spacers to keep up with his load, and the 4runner shocks were at the end of their physical rope. With the 100 series shocks and some 2861 springs, I saw how bad the geometry was and got him to order some OPT off-road adjustable arms, bought some OEM brackets from Toyota, and got the axle where it needs to be for such tall springs to operate on the plane they're supposed to, and cut the old sway bar brackets off and welded new ones on to do the same for the bar. Also ordered like 4k worth of Radflos new ROAM series designed specifically with heavy roof weight and whatever, they're not here yet. But this thing is back to driving closer to stock than it has in 10nyears and my boy is EXCITE.
Lol, ADHD, but I like talking about this rig because it's rad. ANYWHO, TL;DR, the Eagle is back in the nest.
I made a bracket for it yesterday to mount my auxiliary fuse/relay box I got from Littlefuse. I need to finish locker wiring, as well as a LOT of other stuff. We'll see if that ever happens, but it is the season where I actually get motivated and the weather is conducive to allow long hours. If it gets put back together, it's just gonna be a beater trail rig. And that's honestly exactly what I need.
Maybe I'll work on the Prius today. FML. 
while also having a broken CV since November 23rd of this past year. Eaton says I still have 3wd, so who cares?
