Very clean install. Whats next on the list?

 

I'll be cleaning and installing the rear cab wall carpet and side panels with the top trim.
I was not planning this swap as I had the other SR5 panels. I'll prob de-stripe it and then start body work and get ready for paint.

 

I like those SR5 panels!

 

Very clean. How's the corner light to grill connection working?

 

Same as factory, the corner light slides into the grill slots and you just use the 2 screws to secure it to the fender.

These are the slots on the grill. I was going to cut them off when I had the 2wd fenders, glad I didn't.

 

Thanks for the help regarding the 4runner condenser fan...
Im just a bit puzzled because on my '93 Hilux it doesnt seem like there is much room for this fan given the dimensions that the dorman products site gives.
Plus i also see that the front chrome grille would touch and wouldnt install onto the radiator support panel.

** I just got confirmation that the 4Runner AC condenser fan will not work on the Hilux unless i replace it with an SR5 front grille and bumper **

 

So 3 years after my red toy went to the junk yard I went back to and asked if they still had my LCE header. They said idk maybe go look at the rack for exhaust manifolds. I looked around and nothing. I was telling the sales person about them. We were about to leave when I looked up and there they were! Dirty as hell with some surface rust! One pipe looks bent and I'm not sure about the lower flange. Won't be able to tell till I do a test fit.
Here is my old Red Toy's LCE header!

 

Nice find.if you run across another set of side panels and the 1ton rear swaybar brackets grab them for me please. Just pickedup my 1ton swaybarfrom the powercoaters. So want to install it.

 

First time through this thread, great work!

 

Installed my LC Engineering header along with the new mid pipe.
Coated the header in VHT ceramic paint, and baked it per the instructions, lets see how that goes,. My original mid pipe was welded together, this new one is 3 piece I was going to originally weld it all in place but the ceramic finish, I did not want to mess it up. I did cut the 3 bolt flange off and put a new 2 bolt flange, also put a new flange on the magnafllow cat. Now everything is 100%bolt on. ftw Have not driven it, since its raining and I wanted to bake the paint on, well see how she drives tomorrow.

 

Have not done much to the Toy. Just filled it up with gas and parked it. Been spending time with its new sibling.

Because Wagon VR6.
All ready took care of some maintenance issues, more parts are on order.
Tinted all 9 windows, struts, shocks, stereo.
I took it canyon carving and i'm impressed

 

Worked on the VR6. You guys thing 22r timing chains are easy, VR6's
Runs so much better! Defiantly keeping the wagon.
W trac ctrl off it spins the wheels no problem.

 

Just waiting on more parts and time to install.

 

Bag the VW. I done a buch of them.

 

Clutch is in ftw. Cleaned gearbox and added new oil. Shifts smooth, clutch is soft at low rpm. Only reved up to 3k but its stffer at higher rmps.

 

Ohh also got rid of the bench. Added sport bucket seats and half center console. Interior is almost complete.

 

Head gasket went out @piston 2 made it off the freeway with out over heating. Put in a new head gasket, new cap, rotor, plugs, wires. Cleaned k &n and got it back on the road. Also re tinted the glass w limo in back and 15%sides. Lets see if i can start preping for paint already! Lol

 

All good things do come to an end.
With the purchase of my Red SR5 I could not keep 2 trucks, Truck needed to be sold.


She sold within 30 minutes of putting the sign on....... Didn't even get a chance to post it online...... She's gone but not forgotten. Good times! Great memories. La Camioneta Gris... On to the next venture!!

 

Damn there she goes. That only means that you have more money for the sr5 now. Cant wait to see what to do to that.

 

Whoever picked up this truck is one lucky son of a gun!
