so........ ive been busy and also had a few lucky chances on a trade come up so i took a chance and this is what i got.......

84 4Runner, 22R 5speed. truck is an SR5 so i does have power windows, tilt, inclinometer, and the factory rear heater that kinda sucks at the moment being so damn hot

i also got a complete downey (rip) off-road 3" lift waiting to go on. LCE open air K&N filter kit for it still new in the box.

there is lots of work to be done but it will all get started soon as i get the lux all painted up and done.................. maybe sooner since i wanna be able to take this out to the desert and trails soon

Sweet man

 

Nice find! Wish I could afford to get a 4Runner and keep my 4x4.

 

Way kewl, gotta love the 4runners . . . Nice find!

 

thanks guys. soon as i get some spare time somewhere and a few extra bucks, ill start working on it. pains me im lagging on getting the lux finished and this off the ground......

 

ok, so its been kinda idle for a while but im starting the build process on project ShadowRunner. spent the past couple days juggling a few items on craigs along with a small budget and im getting in touch with my build drive again

so i started out with some nice MT 16x10's to add a little more stance and bling to Shadow....

still on the list is
-header
-catback magnaflow system
-installing downey 3" lift
-ifs rear axle
-crossover steering

I have an account at downey if you dont know anybody else that does, and let me know if you what some fiberglass.

 

didnt downey go under at the end of july????

 

Dono havent ordered anything from them in a while.

 

just called their number and its disconnected, guess so, well the glass still stands if you want.

yea....... sucks they are out. they had a good header for a reasonable price.

what kind of fenders you got?? i got one boogered up drivers side fender im looking to replace once i find a replacement. but, depending on how much glass ones will run me i may reconsider.

 

I'm talkin brand spankin new fiberglass, ill give you my cost.

 

interesting.....

 

Here's where to go for the armor,

ok. so i got the exhaust taken care of today....... no more hoky 4" glasspack turnout before the wheels....... got me a 14" magnaflow catback turned out at the higher end of the rear quarter after the wheel. i also cut the bumper tabs and took the mud flaps off improving the overall look of the truck.

MacRib hinted me on to a header he had seen at the junk yard and said it was a genuine downey 4-1 header that was 3 or 4 weeks ago so figured it wouldnt be there....... low and behold it was still there so i quickly snatched it out of the 4runner it was on and scored for $54 at the pick your part place

ill be installing that and a hollowfied cat possibly tomorrow. we'll see how that sounds after.

 

hell of a nice score. That is dirt cheap.
Now you too can live the the high and low life. I sure do love it.

 

yea........ more and more the Runner is becoming more enjoyable to drive......... i contemplating selling it just cus there were so many things wrong with it but i think i got my touch back and am able to look through the rough spots and fix what i need to without dropping large coin.....

got the header put in today and man, all the exhaust work has really paid off!! didnt think this truck would run as good as its running right now
