Well ever since I started dating my ol lady she has had a 4runner sitting by her house that her dad gave her. The 4runner has had a hard life. Her dad built it years ago and it had 63" chevy spring in the rear, welded rear diff, 22r, w56, forward shift tcase, stock front springs with a 3" body lift and new 38" boggers in the back swamper ssr's in the front all the body work was done and painted a burgundy color then a month later it was stolen and stripped then he again put it together (not as nice as the first time but basically the same minus the tires and wheels) Then he took it to clark county fair tuff trucks and beat the snot out of it. tooks first in one show, and also rolled it. Then he bought new 37" toyo mt's and never drove it again.

Well after he was done with it. It had a bent frame 1.5" back on the passenger side. And the tub was smashed in and rusted out. He also bought a 81 toyota and robbed the motor out of the 4runner so we had lots of work to do.
First thing i did was find another solid axle 4runner frame from a buddy who rolled his truck and parted it out. Then i took off all the uneccessary brackets and sanded it all the way down and painted it then found a complete v6 4runner body up in seattle and went and got it with title for 300 bucks

Got all the suspension under it and the axles with 63" springs in the rear and solid axle rears up front.

Then got a 22re harness in and cut everything for the 5 speed swap into the body and painted the interior. Well wanted it at home so I could work on it more so I towed it home.

Then I threw the 37's on it for the first time

well moved the front end another inch forward, took the 2'' body lift off. swapped a motor in and found a bent valve then bought a 22re motor in from my scout build and sold the motor to a buddy cause he threw a rod threw the block.
Got the truck driving the sat before the Woody's 4x4 show so I took it there and the ECU took a dive and it would die and start very quickly so had to swap that out after the show.
Then built the front driveline and took it to the poker run at browns camp for halloween

truck impressed me for stock gears, welded rear, open front, single case. Only issue was rear tires hit the tub and did a number on the body. The ol lady was freakin out about it haha.
Then swapped out the wheels for the ones off my scout
