Well the race car is torn apart, and I'm bored and out of argon for the TIG, so here are some pics of my daily driver. Bought it last year completely stock, and finnished the suspension/armor within a month and wheeled the **** out of it, and I just recently finnished the turbo setup for it, just need some extra time to throw in the built long block and see how it does.

That's one heck of an awesome 4Runner!

 

Thanks man!

 

boo, came in here for a useless, slammed 4runner. i get this beast of a car that is probably fun as hell in the mud and stuff.

 

Hahaha, I guess it's kinda hellaflush, no camber but the tire pokes for sure. It's super fun in the rocks, but even on the streets it's a blast, pulls as hard as a stock cummins, but goes anywhere. Next build is going to be an FJ40 Land Cruiser on 40's with a boosted K24 for the wifey.

 

OEM motor internals?

 

Yes, on the current motor. I am building the other one. Stock 3.4 block, CP 9:1 Pistons, stock rods, camry crank, camry heads and cams, and a custom intake manifold. I am shooting for 450-500whp on the 37's with the built setup. It should be in the high 200's right now at 6psi.

 

***** nasty

 

My first vehicle was a '77 FJ40 (hence the name toyomatt84). I'd love to see the outcome of the FJ build, because I'm a huge fan.

 

haha thanks man

Thats awesome man! I love the 40s, such a classic. It's going to be a while before I start because I am out of time and money for a build like that right now, but I am going to start with adapting the motor to the trans and then start on a frame to keep it linked and low, but it should turn out pretty sweet. shooting for something similar to this.

 

Came in here expecting stance.

Was pleasantly surprised.

 

Wow... that's going to be sick.

I'd love to have fundage for another FJ40 build... but sadly, I don't. Once I get the new house all setup, I may go on the hunt for an FJ though.

 

Yeah man, FJ's are spendy to build, very easy to drop 20-30000 bucks to get it right
