Well got the itch again, been about 1.5 years since i sold my last truck and decided to get another. surfed CL for a few weeks and jumped on this one when it came up. got for a only $1700

91' extended cab
22re
5 speed
126,000 miles

Well here she is






Two of my old trucks
Diesel swap truck


High school build

 

Fixing my Fan, getting all 4 speeds back


You can see where the old one broke


Time to start the removal of the old decals






it did a good job but i defanitly need to give her a bath and cut & buff the paint again

 

getting all the parts together to change over to the SR5 gauge cluster

SR5 cluster from a 4runner v6, re calibrated for 4 cylinder and set the ODO back to zero


New speedo cable as mine squeals like an SOB


Also have my LED's ordered just waiting on them to come in

Also scored some Starion's
going to wait for the current tire to wear out before i put them on

 

Nice. Overall plans?

 

Hell of a start bud. I imagine with it being your 5th build things move this fast. I hate those eraser things myself. Not that they don't work, I just can't stand the eraser dust it makes. I prefer pealing them off manually, and using a heat gun if they are stuck too hard. Then I clean off the glue with paint thinner and a few shop towels.

Plus depending on how much layers the sun burned off on the clear buffing won't help too much. As you can see the hood is already burnt through to the paint. I would imagine the roof is too.

 

complete rebuild of suspension and motor,
spindels up front block in back
switch to 8" rear end with 3.07 gears
drop in my Supra w58 in the garage (trying to get close to 30 mpg as it's my daily)
Add power mirrors , Windows & locks
93-95 4runner front end (done properly by replacing core support)
New paint and seals

and other things i am sure

If the decals are newer (less then 5 years old) i will use the heat guns but these old crusty ones its just to much of a pain in the but, this is faster even if there is more clean up when i am done,

And yes the paint is sun faded pretty bad, but i am going to repaint probably this summer after i gather the parts for A 93-95 4runner conversion so i dont much care

 

Very nice. Look forward to seeing more of this.
