85 4Runner: Attempted Build

I would buy another one. Very pleased with mine so far.

Thats cheap. Almost too cheap to pass up

 

That seems like a great deal! What do you think a re-gear from ECGS would run?

 

He sold it

 

I bought a built high pinion diff w/ 5.29's and Yukon Zip locker from Marlin during a sale. It cost about the same as regearing and locking my 4cyl diffs. I payed ECGS like $940 I think (1 Spartan locker, 1 spool, 2 master install kits and labor), I already had the gears, which were about $370 new but I got mine for $280. I asked 4wheelparts up the street from me how much they would charge to regear if I supplied all the parts and they said over $900 !!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

It's straight. Good looking out though!

 

First mod has been ordered!

Hopefully it will be here by the end of next week. I need to find a good local exhaust shop soon

 

i would so do this if i was getting rid of a/c. all you would have to do is convert the compressor. no fabbing or finding the right belt

 

fo sho that would be . Almost endless supply of air.

 

Then maybe one of you would be so kind as to help me in the process? I still think I can live without A/C.

 

fuck i dont know how to do it. there is a link to someone who did it on a second gen taco. and he posted the link up from a jeep forum showing how to convert it

 

here, find the link

just look for the part for the write up on converting it.

 

That looks like a pretty good solution. The write-up I've been looking at involves an external air tank that he was able to tuck up above the frame. I like the one you posted a lot better.

 

Welp, I was going to remove the header today, but I spotted this right off the bat.





I might end up taking it to a shop and having all the exhaust work done including the box o' parts I should get next week.

 

Spray lots of pb blaster on the bolts/nuts each day before the install. Might help a little.

 

I started the first round yesterday. It's kind of nasty outside today so I might not get to it. I also think I overreacted because my buddy pointed out that I am getting a new header and that bold goes from the outside of the heat shield to the header itself so I don't think it will keep me from removing the header from the manifold anyways.

 

Poser shot outside my buddies house.

 

We need to go wheeling. I'm headed to Gulches tomorrow, I'll get plenty of pics for yah
