4runner Build

SUCK

Well i just found out that the locker that i bought, a lockright, is for the 4cyl diff only, everyone said the V6 and 4cyl were the same but i just looked at a install, seeing how to do it and i don't think it will work, so does anyone want to buy a lock right for 200 it's brand new 4cyl toyo 8inch axle, man this sucks

 

[Panos]

just weld it!!

 

[iamsparticus]

yeah i thought about it but i hate to weld a perfectly good V6 third, if it was a 4cyl i wouldn't care, course if that were the case i would have this problem

 

[Panos]

k ill trade you my 4 cyl, "its welded" that way you wont care, and then ill weld up the v6 and put it in mine

 

[Rot Box]

For now you could just run a 4cyl third with the LR until you find a V6 locker...

oh come on i almost had him

 

[iamsparticus]

Nice try Panos but i think i'll stick with the V6 one, i thought about running a 4cyl third but i don't have one,and if i use one of the extra carriers i have i will have to set up my rear axle back lash, and i was told it's tricky when going to a 4cyl from a V6 special shimming, or is that not true. I have set up my front

 

[Panos]

backlash has nothing to do with the axle itself it how your gears are set up, rig to pinion. i would buy a used 4cyl third, take the LR out of your carrier and put it in the new 4cyl third, V6 are stronger yes, but the 4cyl's are strong as hell too!

a little update

I finished the shock mounts and painted all the steel work i did because it was rusting and made better shock adapters for my rear shocks, Here is also some shots of the front oil pan clearance at full stuff, close but even when i came off stuff hard it didn't hit:greg:

Update

Got some more done, 79 land crusier disks on, massive V6 calipers on, it should brake like no other when i get the brakes bled and it back on the roadAnyone want some 2 piston caplipers, newish pads for 15 bucks?

 

[Panos]

didnt you have V6 calipers already.... before the SAS

 

[iamsparticus]

yeah i did, but they didn't fit the 1980 axle until i replaced the rotors will the vented 79 to 80 Land Cruzier rotors, then i put them back on, should help the most in the brake cooling department

Lookin good

didnt you buy this from my friend for 130 bills and 20 gold coins?

 

[iamsparticus]

Yeah i did my rear V6 diff, hahaha thats funny, you know him? and the story got around hhaha

 

[iamsparticus]

Well i took the 4runner out for it's first long drive since all the modifications, down to saltlake, i did get some bad wobble but it wasn't consistent, i think it just need a alingment, and a i need to put on my steering stabilizer bad every little bump jerks it around, other than that its a smooth ride

 

[Panos]

nice! see ya in moab?

 

[iamsparticus]

Fo sure
