    Well as the old pics show, this use to have a 4-Runner front end. With the new rebuild I am going a different direction this time.

    The funny thing is that front end came off of a 91 4-Runner. :D

    Well, after many years of silence, my 93 is running again. It took a little work to get the fuel pump going again, but once we worked it out, it purred.

    It has been along time since I wave had it running. Now all we have to do it finish the exterior stuff and this truck will be back on the road.

    Did a little more fiddling with it and I drove it around the storage area behind the shop.

    Next step getting it on the road.

    I also took some videos of this I will post them soon.

    Well I finally took a whole day and got the new front end on. Looks like it will be back on the road real real soon.

    Getting ready to whack off the old front end.

    Well, due to certaini hiccups with my daily driver 85 MR2. I am forced to do a ton of work tonight and get it where I can drive the truck home so I can still get to work. Hopefully things will go smoothly and I won't have any surprises.

    Thank you. It seems to be behaving so far. Driving the truck it is obvious that it hasn't seen road in several years. There are still a few kinks I need to work out, but with every passing mile it sounds better and better.

    I definately need to do something about those tires because even though they are stock they are taller than what I use to roll. I do need to find a wheel and tire package that can be a good place holder till I figure what my final combo will be.

    I need to put some air shocks on the rear to replace my old crusty ones. Does anyone have any suggestions on brand or what model would work best?

    Well I have made yet another step forward to get my truck where I want it to be. Thanks to a very good friend, he GAVE ME a 3rd gen Supra rear end assembly, complete.

    Now I just have to start saving for the bags compressor and all the other stuff so I can install it and bag it.

    Interesting!! Your gonna do an IRS rear then bag it! Should be cool when done but Id suggest strut bags for the rear then to save on fabrication aspect.
