Leave it off.

 

Thanks for confirming my thoughts rattle, I was thinking the same thing as well. Looks much cleaner without

 

^^^X2, looks better with it off. Nice flex pics, I really like that front bumper, it really gives the front a clean look! Awesome build!

 

Thanks bud,

Yeah they are gonna stay off.

I am looking forward to its first post SAS run!!!!!

 

For those that are following me and are wanting to SAS there rigs, here is a thread to get a discount and order the same kit.

Pulled the ORS wiring harness for the rear elocker today. Ordering the ORS duel wiring kit tomorrow so I can run both front and rear elockers.

I also picked up a set of top mount RF1A transfer cases today. I will be working on setting them up this winter as duels so I can adapt them to my R150...

 

It is great that ORS is back in business.

Do you still have that 3rd gen part out you could use for the donor?
It would be a cool project

 

No I don't. I am actually looking for another standard cab so I can start collecting parts for this swap.

 

Couple of updates:

picked up a rear license plate bracket from down in OZ so instead of it saying TOYOTA it says HILUX SURF. Kinda cool....

Second, have been talking with ORS about getting a wiring kit put together for the 1UZ conversion..... Hopefully soon we can get a wiring kit to market...

 

A 1UZ harness would be awesome

 

Yes it will. It will be a complete package for people who want to install this motor into there rig.... Awesome

I also picked this up today.... Finally a factory EGR delete, and the Toyota name plate to replace the lexus plate.....I ordered from down in OZ so it will take a week or two to finally get here....

 

The upper intake has arrived today. I will work on getting the EGR block off plate and decal moved over to my intake. I also picked up an 85 front drive shaft to get me by for now.

ORS duel elocker harness should be here later this week....

 

Awesome build up!

What rear suspension are you running?

 

That is pretty quick delivery from overseas

 

Thanks!!

I am currently running LC80 rear coils right now. I have not decided if I want to keep it linked or go with leafs....I did get the chromoly upper link brackets from Downey Off Road but haven't needed them yet. We will see I guess.

 

Yeah, I was really pleased with how quickly they got it delivered here state side.

 

I have been on a hunt for some time for a rear bumper for my 4runner. Here is a rear bumper we are looking at importing to fit the second gen 4runners. Anybody's thoughts.

I am also wanting to know if anybody would be interested in acquiring one for there rig? It would be available with or without a tire carrier.

Tire carrier bumper looks like it will run $1150 plus shipping.
Without tire carrier $799 plus shipping.

These include the shackle points and 2" receiver. This price is unpainted, but painting or power coating would be available at an additional cost if needed.

 

Sweet build!

 

Thanks

 

Update.

I started bending metal for my roof rack this week. Should have it all welded together here this week. Didn't find anything I really liked so thought I would make my own. Pics soon


Got to go play this weekend for a bit. Didn't get a lot of pics as I was wheelin alone!
