85 4Runner: Attempted Build

Thanks mang! Shit if my truck came with a hat I dunno if I would never take it off or frame that thing

I had the hat made cause Ii couldn't find any decent Toyota hats. $20 later and this is what I got.

 

My plan is to run 35/12.50s on my stock steelies unless I find a set like yours or similar. From what I've read 12.50s on a 7 inch wheel do pretty well.

And nice job on the doors! I want to do the same thing, but I haven't been able to find a set of doors to tear up yet!

 

I have been doing a lot of wheeling these past few days and she goes everywhere I point her to go. I haven't had to air down but I haven't had any problems with 12.50" on a 7" wheel. I like the look more than the wide stance, it just looks more factory/stock to me which is what I like.

And I wish I could take credit for the doors but I only bought them lol I have a metal fab guy and he's been doing the work for me. I can't weld. Pits the first set of doors he's cut up like this too. It's nice being able to tell him exactly what I want, drop my shit off and pick it up when he's done.

 

I do, too. I want my truck to basically appear stock, even though it really won't be. And either way, the doors are sick. I've oftentimes thought it would be easier or cheaper to do a project myself, but then in the middle of it I'm like F*** why didn't I just get someone else to do this haha.

 

Yup I like the sleeper look. They are getting one more coat of paint before I pick them up today. Super pumped with how they turned out. I didn't do these because I can't weld. Buy doors and having them cut up is still cheaper than buying tube doors.

Can't wait to get to URE this weekend.

 

Headed out to URE this weekend to do some much needed wheeling. I can't wait!

Look ma, cup holders!

 

Thanks man!

 

Hells yea. I wish I got some of you on dickey bell. I had a blast!

 

Haha you and me both man. I was bouncing like hell trying to get up the top left ledge. Hints the damage I guess

 

Dat gangsta' lean dooo

 

^ I totally stole the picture you posted on FB and it's now my background lol thanks man

 

Those SR5 seats are bad ass. Did woody do those doors for you? I think I seen them up there a few weeks ago.

 

Yup he hooked me up. He did a pretty good job on em. I knew going into it they weren't going to be perfect but I told him to talk his time.

 

I swapped the GM alternator in with the help of a buddy. It ran fine for a while until it sounded like I had a vacuum leak. Screwed some shit together and no more leak. Also hooked up some LED lights I've had sitting in my closet for over a year.

Since I got my truck back together I decided to go wheeling. Then this happend. It ripped the top bolt straight the fuck out along with a bushing.

 

You let Mike weld this?

 

Hahahaha funny you say that. I was trying to talk him into helping my redo my suspension

 

Got some new hardware to try to gain some more articulation. These will also be the perfect shocks for whenever I redo the suspension.




I'm slowly starting to figure out how to wire shit up. New LED flood pods.
