1986 Toyota 4x4 Beginning of an expedition build.
Hello Yotatech. As I am brand new on this site I figured I'd upload a few start up pictures of my truck. Being an avid outdoorsman/camper, I feel that the best route for my truck is going expedition style. Keeping my truck in great shape is also a reason ill be going this route. Unfortunately I dont have any pictures of the truck when I first got it but it was grey with those lovely stock graphics down the side with no real modifications. A few years later and here I am starting to actually put things together. Let me know what you think.
-31x10.5x15 Mud terrains
-Custom storage box behind seats
-Fabtech spare tire carrier
-Light bar/headache rack
-Kobalt tool box
-Upgraded stereo system
-Custom front bumper
-Cobra CB radio
-Custom cargo rack/roof top tent platform in bed
Plans:
-Rock sliders
-onboard air
-Power inverter
-Jerry can mount
-onboard water for shower
-Custom rear bumper with swing out tire carrier
-GPS with HP notebook and mount
-Roof rack with lighting
-Shift boots, new shifter knobs
-Lockers
-SAS vs IFS debate.... long going thought process for the ideal setup of this truck.
These are just a few of the plans off of the top of my head. Thanks for looking.

I did some prep work but it was pretty much just taking the old graphics off. Total cost was $1,200 and they went through and painted everything including door jambs, taking the bed off and painting it and the cab separately, tailgate, etc. Great job for the money.

Sweet!
May I know if you have stock transmission running those 31's?
Pls keep us posted on what rear bumper & swing-out tire carrier you're getting. I'm also in the market for one for my '86 4Runner.

Yes I actually do have the stock transmission. As far as the bumper goes, I'm leaning toward the custom route unless I can find one that is made out of rectangular tubing and in good price range which seems to be pretty hard to find. Let me know if you've seen anything out there.

Oh BTW, also how's your MPG turning out? ( I still have stock size tires).
Tnx & regards,
