1st Gen 4Runner Walk Around
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
People have been requesting build info on the 1st Gen 4Runner so I decided to do a quick walk around. In this episode, I cover the 4Runner build from the wheel and tire package to the engine swap and everything in between. I got the 4Runner from a great builder and buddy. He did an amazing job on this build! Shortly after getting the rig from him, the 22re blew up, and process of rebuilding began. I am so thankful for all of the help I got from everyone who took the time to teach me, show me, and helped me complete this project. Check out my build here!
I plan to drop a series of episodes featuring a few of these builders (who has helped me along the way) and their amazing builds, so keep your eyes peeled! Be sure you're subscribed to my channel (if you aren't already) and have notifications turned on so you are the first to know when these episodes are available.
Would love to hear from you all in the comments!

Thank you! I wish I could tell you. But a friend who used to own this 4Runner did it all a few years before it became mine. Actually when I saw the rear, I had to have it! Lol
Love the build. Im slowly working on building up my 85 4runner. What size bump stops are you using f&r? And was curious what you are using to cover the holes for where the rear shocks go through the floor? My rear shocks go through the floor as well. I don't have anything covering the gap between the shocks and the floor at the moment.
Excellent rig ❤

Great video. I remembered you posted on Instagram about putting in a new engine and transmission. You must have lots of money put into it and it is really worth it though.

Niiiice…..i want to 3.4 swap my 89! Did you have to modify the hood …i heard the engine sits a little higher than the 3.0
@Theee.Krisss

I basically added spacers to the hood hinges that made just enough room to clear. There’s a gap but it doesn’t look bad at all.

@@Theee.Krisss any reliable recommendations where to find a 3.4? I see them everywhere on marketplace and eBay….but just don’t know what i would be getting!

You can check your local pick and pulls/wrecking yards. Usually, they will make sure the engine is in good working order before selling it. And offer extended warranties as well.
Such a sweet build. I’ve been following your Instagram for awhile. Out of curiosity how tall are you? I’m asking because I’m trying to gauge roughly how tall the runner sits. It looks nice and low

@@Theee.Krisss that’s good to hear. I like that ruf pushes the axle forward. I’m hoping to not rub 37’s on untrimmed front fenders. Trucks going in for paint this month and afterwards I’ll be starting to build it. Hahah hoping to not ruin the new fenders…. For now🤣

@@cammk9415 Incase you do have to trim up your fenders a bit, just have your painter on speed dial. lol. I stuffed 40's under my Runner and stood my ground about not having to trim. I adjusted bumpstops and everything. But in the end I ended up having to cut a little bit off anyways. Sounds like you have a fun project ahead! Happy building!
Wheel spacers on the front or no?

Yes 1 1/2” spacers on the front.
Why wouldn’t you balance your wheels 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
@Theee.Krisss

Beadlocks and big tires are challenging to balance. Most shops won’t even mount and/balance them. My buddies and I mounted them up in my garage. Nitto is one of those tires that require minimal balancing. Plus hydro assist helps with absorbing most of the vibration. I can comfortably do 60-65 highway with no issues.

Not necessary. It works perfectly fine the way it is. I have zero issues on the freeway as well as on the trails. 🤙🏽
