Here’s my current main project. My IG @dzrtratdzns has the entire build if you want to creep. I picked this thing up completely stock from a buddy for $800 which was a smoking deal for a running, driving Toyota with 4wd and a title September of 2021. Initially I planned to daily drive it but the entire front end needed to be rebuilt. I was already in the process of rebuilding my sas 4runner and had full width axles, ruffstuff 3 link kit, fox 2.0x14 dsc coilovers, radflo 2.0 air bumps, and a bunch of other parts but the 4runner needed extensive fab work. I had already been working on the rebuild for a year and still needed to finish the cage, dash, firewall, floor, 3.4 swap, front three link and much more. My fiancée at the time and I decided we wanted to get married in February ‘22 and wanted to use the rigs as our arch and take a week long trip in the desert after for our honeymoon, so I decided to throw the 4runner in the side yard and throw all the parts on the yota truck. Took me a little over 3 months for a complete build doing everything myself. Not bad for my first solid axle swap/crawler build. Enjoy
