In an odd series of events, I don't have the pickup anymore, but I now have an 86 4runner 4x4 22re. LOL, I ended up giving the truck to my brother because he needed a reliable truck to help him move his stuff.

I'll get pics up in a few of the runner.

Duckie

Its originally from Canada, so it reads km/h, but in miles, it only has ~150k. 33s, 4 inch pro-comp lift (No so much a fan..but we'll see), ARB Bumper with a werner (sp?) winch. I'll be taking care of getting it locked and geared. I need to look into what I need to order as far as a skid and crossmember.

Dayum! That thing is sweet!

lofreqjeff

Thats a good lookin 4Runner!

Looks like its time for a rear bumper and some sliders

CRafferty

Indeed! I think that thing is pretty BUILT already. I wish I knew where to find a runner like that.

Duckie

Thanks guys. It was a pretty good find for 3000. Sliders are on the next to do mods, and the rear bumper will be next.

lofreqjeff

I know a guy in Queen Creek that custom makes awesome products for next to nothing. Not sure if I sent you his info yet, but I can if you want it.

sick runner man!

Duckie

PM me bro sounds good.

Thanks the the kind words guys! Cant wait to wheel!

KVRunner

Great looking runner. 3000 was a steal.

Duckie

Ok so here is a new update of mods to to.

-SS IFS brace
-Rocksliders
-Budbuilt skid
-Budbuilt Crossmember
-Aussie Rear Locker
-some 4.56's (Reccomend a brand?)

Is the pro-comp lift going to interfere with anything? Also, does anyone know much about the procomp lift? This is certainly not a "for show" truck, I want it to be fuctional as well, on and off road.

Duckie

Here are some pics of the underbody. It seems like this lift will interfere with my getting some sort of ifs truss or a low-pro crossmember. Can anyone comment on this?

Yeah for another Tucson guy!! Sadly my truck isnt running at the moment but I got a new engine for it so soon it will be!

PS I also have a black on black yota hahaha It just does wonders in this Arizona heat (sarcasm) haha

and lofreqjeff those are sick sliders for the price! I wanna know how to get some of my own when the time comes

Duckie

Nothing like some Tucson sun and no a/c! Thats why windows roll down lol. I know a few Toyota guys, I already got an invite to go to the Gap. I'm a bit nervous since I've never even ridden along on a wheeling trip, let alone attempted myself. If I do go, I will be bypassing a lot of obstacles.

ohyeahcrx

haha Mine has AC though. The question is will I use it?? Who knows. Its the only one of my cars ive ever had that has had it haha. Yeah Ive never been wheeling either. Never even gone along with someone. First I wanna do some camping trips in this bad boy.

Duckie

That is pretty much the reason I got mine. I was having to borrow my dad's f150 to go camping, because my Mustang sure as hell couldn't do it. Last weekend I was just up at Rose Canyon on Mt. Lemmon. I really wanna go do Peppersauce, and maybe play around the back side of Lemmon to get some practice.

ohyeahcrx

Any new updates on this bad boy?? Recent pictures?? My truck is almost running just gotta fix this never ending gas leak haha

Duckie

Nothing new yet. I took the decals off the back, and ran through a few big puddles after the recent rains. I've been getting quotes for sliders, the best so far is still a guy up in Queen creek who did jeff's for 200 installed. I'm also looking into a rear bumper, because mine is jacked lol. On saturday I'm going up the back side of mt lemmon, then coming down on catalina highway. I might check out Rice peaks (not far up though.)

Where is your leak coming from? Tank seal or a line in the engine bay?

ohyeahcrx

Yeah Im not sure any place will really beat the guy in queen creek. Its just such a deal!
Well I actually fixed it haha. It was where the fuel fitting met the fuel filter under the intake mani. I just switched where the little copper gasket went. And boom there we go. Or it seems to have fixed it. Soon ill have this thing running!! Ahh so excited!!

Duckie

That will be awesome! Hey have you ever checked out Tucson off road? There are a bunch of local guys, mostly with jeeps and K5 blazers, but they are cool. They are always organizing runs around tucson. They just did a night run at the gap last night.
