TW's active 4runner builders BS thread

how rusty is rusty? I'm from Wisconsin so our views are probably different lol

 

The Rocker panels and wheel arches. Some on the tailgate as well. For Colorado it is crazy, for places they use salt it is probably average for it's age.

 

Too much on shipping prolly

 

Yeah, that sounds pretty normal for a 90s Toyota. I'm sure theres junkyards near you that have clean ones that were in accidents though

 

your limited is so sexy

 

Exactly. I could salvage the drivetrain and throw a clean 2wd body and bed if I wanted. But at that point why not get a taco chassis with a 3.4 and throw an old body on that? I want to make a supra Trar way more than I want to do any of that. lol

 

i tried having him ship one to me via fastenal.. it was a no go

 

Why thank you! Theres plenty more to come!

If the frame is clean (which I'm sure it is) then I'd go with this one. A taco chassis and 3.4 would probably cost at least 3,000 (based off prices up here.)

 

That is sweet.

There is a job opportunity in there. But a bunch and deliver across the country. You have something to do and ppl get their racks. haha

I may crawl under it after work and see. He has some crappy 225s on there that are maybe 28" tires, looks real lame.

 

If everything is good with it I think it'd be a cool project for you.

 

I need to stop breaking the 4runner just to have something to do. lol

 

I feel you. I've had to do a fair share to this one already, and I've had it since March tenth.

 

I have had mine going on 2 years in april. Longest I have owned a vehicle. I am going to have to do the clutch soon. lol

 

Ive owned mine 11 months.

 

I'm keeping this through my Air Force career, and hopefully still after that.

 

i plan to order theirs as well. Mine barely goes back on during oil changes.

 

I have no clue how much shipping would be. I don't have the money right now so not going to bother him with a quote.

I know he previously wouldn't ship but now he's agreeing too. I know it'll be a killer amount but still cheaper than other big names.

 

On my way to autozone...ehh

 

honestly it wasnt much difference between him and the bajarack.

In order to ship via fastenal or any other freight - he needed to build a crate for it.

So you would have to pay him labor and materials to build a wooden crate capable of being forklifted. On top of that shipping freight charges.

materials and shipping to Texas came down to a little over $1000

 

good info. I always lift from the center.
