My $500. project 4x4

This truck turned out great! I bet you're still under $5K total cost.

 

Mike i had to trim some of the backing plates. Pictured is what i removed from one side, same amount from the other side too. Other than a lil trimming it's a bolt on. I used steel braided brake hoses and banjo bolts from Wheeler's offroad.

 

Thanks driversound, yea i'm around $4500 total invested.

Amazing. Great job.

 

Shit if you can get it running for a few hundred dollars you will have a heck of a nice truck for a hell of a deal!

 

Thanks Monty.

 

Jon i got it up and running but it cost me more than a few hundred dollors. The used 69k mile 2003 3.4L cost me $1400 that includes the shipping from Az. I replaced some gaskets, the t.b, w.p., tune up items and clutch while the engine was on the engine stand. After a week or so after i got it running i drove it on a 3200 mile camping trip.

 

Updated pics. I love this truck.

 

Hey Dave, when am I making sliders! Haha

 

I recently bought this 1 owner 4runner with a seized 3.4L for $200, scrap metal price. I bought a 2002 109k mile replacement motor from the same Az. salvage yard that i bought my taco engine from. When the engine seized the po & his co-worker used the bumper as a tow point, idk why. I just received some new oem gaskets, seals & oil cooler hoses. Can't wait to start wrenching on this project!

 

When are you ready? Chip mentioned a build tread on Md tacomas so i pulled up this old thread for updates. I'm not sure how to link a build thread to my signature.

 

Go to the OP, copy the link out of the browser, go to your signature and update it, add the link you copied into the bottom of the signature.

 

I thought you only made sliders for 2nd n 3rd gens...

RLY?! We doin this crazy ride all over again?? Alright..

 

You're the busy one now that I went Full Time Mobtown so let me know and we will make it happen.

 

Damn, 68Dave. Some sweet deals!!

 

Thanks.

 

I do, but I can make them for any truck. Just need the person to come over with the truck and I will make it happen. If I recall when Dave came by for my softtopper, we are thinking weld on.

 

Maryland, huh?

 

Awesome! The interior looks great.
