1985 4Runner

[SByota]

I have the same Sequoia axle in my 1st gen Tacoma. The width matches my long travel front end perfect. Brakes work good with the factory Tacoma master cylinder. The brakes are pretty big and may need 16+ wheels.

Have fun cutting off all 27 different brackets! I almost caught my whorl garage on fire with my plasma cutter when I did mine.

Glad to hear you got the brakes to work, I have an FJ80 master so it should be good enough to stop them. I’m also on 17” wheels so shouldn’t be an issue there!

Another successful trip in the books, this thing suprises me every time I take it out with how capable it is. Had a few moments at a good angle and we noticed my T-case output shaft was leaking when we were heading back to the start. Just ordered a new seal and it should be ready to go again.

Have you seen the GFC camper for the 1st gen runners. Reowr!

They’re pretty slick! Too bad they cost more than I got this thing for

4Xinnovations cage is prepped. Time to tear apart the interior.

Interior is stripped down for the cage. 4xinnovation cages usually go around/infront of dash, but they bent the A-pillar bars to go through the dash by request.

Bad ass. I hate the cages where the tube bends around the dash (including mine). Did you get frame tie ins too?

Yeah I’m not a huge fan of them either, plus then your cross tube is in front of your face. I did get the frame tie in’s

Going to be running these PRP 4 point harnesses once the cage is done. If heard mixed things about harnesses and folding seats. But this isn’t a go fast pre runner, I just want to stay in place if I flop it on the trails. So these seats should do for now.

Was torn between running metal pucks as my body mount bushings because the stock ones were so shot. Wanted to replace them before I tie the roll cage into the frame. Ended up just going with some energy suspension bushings.
