Build Rich’s 3rd Gen 4Runner build

[Rics4rnr]

A good friend Billy another 3rd generation 4Runner owner retrofitted a non-elocker axle for me and I rebuilt a e-locker actuator for the rear differential

build.

I knew you could get it done Rich!
Nice work!

Since I had the differential out I decided to install new seals and bearings. The rear springs are the Dobinson C59-210V used for the front LC80 suspension and the rear shocks are

Bilstein 5160 from a 4th Gen 4runner/FJ Cruiser.

 

[Rics4rnr]

Installed the 12Volt Guys e-locker wiring harness and finished the rear e-locker retrofit. The next project will be the installation of the new front diff with the Harop e-locker. Hopefully I will finish the 4runner before the end of the year.

Psst.... Should we tell him... you know... they are never finished.

 

[Crusha]

You are a busy mf'er!

And @jamarquardt22 is right... they are never finished.

Stalled, yes.

But never finished.

You even have the E Locker skid plate on it

I guess you can say Christmas came early on the new White Knuckle sliders and delivered this past Monday. I wanted to thank Surfishjoe for the gift certificate from the Classic and White Knuckle for a Military Veterans discount.

The 3rd Gen is ready for the November 2021 wheeling trip to Rausch Creek.

I have been looking around for a winch and I decided to find a used Warn winch. I found a used Warn M8000 winch that I am currently rebuilding for the front bumper. It looks like I have to upgrade the old solenoid pack to the Albright water proof solenoid pack.

Do you have a front bumper that you will put this on or will you be doing a hidden winch mount?

 

[Rics4rnr]

I am waiting for a True North Fabrication plated DIY bumper kit. Should be delivered by the end of the month.

Do you have a front bumper that you will put this on or will you be doing a hidden winch mount?

 

[jamarquardt22]

I wonder if yours will be quieter then mine.

 

[Rics4rnr]

The M8000 winch is rebuilt with new Albright solenoid pack and tested.
