my new toy

[krawlin85toy]

As many of the core members that wheel with me,I have what seems to be less and less of a 1985 runner. Body damage has seem to be the joke now. I laugh about it also,with this said over the last year or so I have been kicking around a idea of a newer runner or just a new body. Over this past weekend I purchased a 94 4 door runner as a new project and a replacement to my 85 runner. I will try and post up pics and of the progress as it happens. :)

[KargoMaster]

Nice job George... post up some "before the first wheeling trip" pics... :D

[tjjeepjeep]

Very nice George...

[Hope Springs Hauler]

SCHWEET

[krawlin85toy]

would like to keep 4 link in rear and may link front but not sure.I will more than likely cut behind rear doors,bob and comp cut.

[94Dodge Truggy]

[Hotwheels]

[gothodgie]

find me back of truck cab!!!may motivate me to move faster..:thumbup:

i know you just want the back part of a cab... would you buy a whole cab and what's a ruff idea of what you would spend on one ?

My buddy Turtle that was with us on the hangover run works at Carthage auto parts and back in the summer i know there was a couple yota trucks there... I can get him to check and see what might be there now... Just a thought... let me know...

:beers:
Chris

[krawlin85toy]

[krawlin85toy]

yes I think they are metric.

[94Dodge Truggy]

I guess metric is good as most of the rig is as well?

[krawlin85toy]

I guess metric is good as most of the rig is as well?

funny you say that,most all vehicles are metric now!:eek:smileypoke

[jwend]

Get spares of that bolt!!! if you shear or lose one (JamieL) they are impossible to find local to any park.

[94Dodge Truggy]

funny you say that,most all vehicles are metric now!:eek:smileypoke

dodge is in cahoots with craftsman tools and uses both standard and metric. :mad:

[carwash]

This was my point... they are unavailable anywhere... i have heard nightmares about this, and about these joints in general.

[krawlin85toy]

Get spares of that bolt!!! if you shear or lose one (JamieL) they are impossible to find local to any park.

he lost spring hanger bolt,and was greasable.
The bolts i will look should be ?

[krawlin85toy]

[sarge]

George ,

for your interior fillers , go get a yard of head liner material and some 3m spray glue and just cover the metal up with it . if you take your time and tuck it properly it will look like it came from the factory . just an idea......

oh ! build looks good ! even if it's one of them Jap things :rolleyes:

[Green Zuggy]

oh ! build looks good ! even if it's one of them Jap things :rolleyes:

Thank agin for input and help,got an old neighbor that does radio and speaker enclosers said he could do something with it to. For some crazy idea he thinks I should put in a show!:eek:

[krawlin85toy]

getting some of the filler work done,using seam sealer on the back of cab,outside and inside and were ever else I need it.
trying to mock up a little of the back section so I have an idea were things may go. pics never do any justice.:sweatin:
I know the filler dust is everywhere in garage will thaks months to get rid of it.

[krawlin85toy]

[krawlin85toy]

Have'nt bolted up seats, but i have started putting primer on the body so I can see how much work I missed.:sweatin:
Pics never do any justice but here they are. hope you enjoy the slow process of this build.:sweatin:

yea body work does suck, i have done my fair share of it and it always seems to piss me off... i lose my patience if i screw anything up and have to walk away from it for a day or so...:mad:.... but once you get the majority of it done it will be on to the cool stuff...:D

[93 Krawler]

Sweet. :thumbup:

[67fastback]

like you are really going to use the roof rack at what 23"....is that wat the note says....lol

[krawlin85toy]

here aree a few more shots. borrowed a set of 39.5's to set up suspension. this way I can run my 37's and have no issues. Plus If I do buy new tires I can possibly run bigger tires in the future.:evilgrin:
I set a 37 in front of the 39.5 as a refrence to see tire size difference.

[krawlin85toy]

like you are really going to use the roof rack at what 23"....is that wat the note says....lol

The rack is just for mostly looks.,and it can still be used.:evilgrin:
In factory location and there are holes allready drilled in roof. If I don't put back in everytime it rains the interior would take on the rain.:eek:

[Hotwheels]

looks good george

[93 Krawler]

The rack is just for mostly looks

Not worried about tree branches sticking it it?

Looks sick with the 40's. :thumbup:

[krawlin85toy]

I was able to get the main frame support welded in and start finishing the radius on the rear section. I also cut a large section of the frame off. There is no turning back now.:sweatin::evilgrin:
I still have to remove more of the frame and box the back in. I would like to get all that done so I can start getting the back ready for tube work. Then I can decide the paint design I would like to finish it off with.

[944drsk]

George-- your making me wish I had some 40" and a newer 4runner to cut up. I LIKE it!!

[krawlin85toy]

I finally got to do a little work on the runner. I cut the frame off to where i wanted and trimmed the floor back more. I was able to get the frame boxed and welded in along with cleaning up all the leftover metal that was still on frame where i removed factory suspension.:sweatin:
I cut the floor pan the rest of the way out and getting it ready to make a new floor pan.

[gothodgie]

looking good brother...:beers:

[krawlin85toy]

Thanks,I also got the 5 speed pedal assembly mounted in.It's ot like the old yotas,where all the holes were marked or just had plates over the holes. Had to get the old hole saw out and cut the firewall.:sweatin:
I hope to start getting ready to do some tube work on the back half soon. The only problem is I have to set up a bender outside and the weather has been stupid. Will have to mount the bender,do the work and put it awawy each night.:) I guess I could use a bigger place, but who couldn't.

[Coppertop]

Looks good...:thumbup: The roof rack and diamond plating to cool..:cool:

Nick

[krawlin85toy]

finally started to get the rear floor pan going and fabed in, not finished but finally starting to get closer. Have a while to go.

Thanks pater for the help on the bends! you to brad.:sweatin:

[krawlin85toy]

I have been working like a mad man on this project trying to get it done in time for the July run to badland. have to say thanks to Chris on all his help thus far, and to Scott on his help so far with the tube work.
I got the drive line swapped out of the 85 and its now i the 94,need to swap intake out from a newer truck(thanks Hotwheels). got the front aaxle in and found that I had to move power steering box foward also:eek:.All the little things that making a new build such a pain. got box moved, now i need a longer steeringg shaft.:mad:.slow moving , but its getting there. forgot i had to remove body mount when I moved box up. more crap to fab up.lol

[krawlin85toy]

I had a some help this weekend on this slow bus,thanks to all that stopped by and lent a helping hand.:D
I re-welded my slider brackets on and put gussets on them this round, may not have trouble with them coming up on a good drop off on rocks.( I hope):,
removed the factory alarm system, won't need that anymore. I started the painfull part of removing all the wiring I wont need anymore. I will be cutting it all down to what is needed. :sweatin:
I finished the floor and got liner on it, also got rear seatbelts mounted and ready to finsh mounting the rear seats as soon as all the wiring is finshed.:D
Hope all the pics are helping.

[Green Zuggy]

Looks great! Will it be ready for ZookiMelt?

You definitely need 39s for this rig. The 37s look so tiny! ;)

[krawlin85toy]

I have been busy trying to get this truck finished to take it out. It has been a long venture on this truck.I have most of the dash back in all the wiring is about done, fuel lines are ran,then I start pulling the third member out of the old truck and find the pinion gear is short on teeth!!!:eek:
Had to over night one so I can get it in and done. I hope everyone is enjoying the progress on this. It should be ready for paint this weekend.(Ihope),have a few more tabs to weld to the cage and figure out the rear lights.:sweatin:

[krawlin85toy]

I spent a few more hours in garage last night than I had planned on.
Got all tabs and brackets on I hope, masked off the truck and primed all bar metal, scuffed it all ound and decided to go ahead a lay the paint on today in the garage with all this heat! treated it like a oven after all said and done.:sweatin::party::party:
I got the rear center section done and back in last night after a quick order to 4 wheel parts.
Paint for now is done next few days I may wet sand it, now i need to paint the frame and anything else that needs it.
Thanks for the help today Dan and Kory.

heck yeah but the paint i use allready comes premixed. something like cap resembles contents :thumbup:

[krawlin85toy]

thats the easy way out, need to paint with a paint gun and then contents are what you mix.rattle cans are cool if you want a flat color!!:evilgrin:,and rusty buttons ....:D

[krawlin85toy]

these are the latest pics I have,before the body got some unexpected dings!!:eek:. The first trip out was Badlands for Zukimelt. I knew there would be some tuning of the rear shocks.I had a good time,and thanks to all the late night work and help from all, would have never been able to make it otherwise..:sweatin:
Hope you enjoy. Have a few things more I would like to get done in near future,full exco cage!!! may need that!!!:o

[WrenchMonkey]

Man that's a good lookin rig...

Bravo! :beers:

[4wdOwnage]

Seen it at the melt and it looked great the full exo would definately be a good plan to keep that all that body work looking good

[93 Krawler]

Hey, those pics are BS... "Before scratches" :D

Get your new shocks yet? You should go to Big Rock the 30th and do some birthday wheelin with me and Tim. :thumbup:

[yellowjacket]

That came out awesome! Lots of effort into it obviously

[KargoMaster]

Looks great George, (preparing myself for the massive, multi party rebuttal...) but you need to get on that exo before that Runner gets that "crushed tin can" look that the old Runner wears so proudly...

Congrats, I'm just jealous...
