Bought another 4Runner, Goodbye RustRunner
This weekend we are beginning the transfer of my complete engine, transmission, diif., transfer case, suspension roof basket/lights ARB front bumper and winch and the rear bumper and swing arm tire carrier from the old green '91 RustRunner on to a clean rust free '92. Hope to have the swap complete by Sunday night. Here are the old and new vehicle pictures. I will post up when we are complete.

ahh, the joys of working at a dealership, access to all those cool tools and lift! not to mention a bunch of techs that are probably drooling over getting a chance to put more of their training to use.
good luck phil, let us know the final tally of hours spent.

ding ding ding! give the man a prize
I was looking at it for a possible fixer upper. (had bad HG 3vze) When i talked to the guy that had it in the STL area he was wanting to part it out and the sell-it-whole option was more than i was wanting to spend for yet antother fixer upper project
so strap, when did you pick it up and can we ask how much you got it for complete? how did you get it home?
(note im farily shure strap contacted me via PM and asked for the sellers info which i gave him... always willing to pass along a deal if im not going to take advantage of)
