You guys prove that people dont need a million dollar shop and tons of special tools and equipment to wheel and have dependable rigs, love it
We try, best tools are the ones you got!
Best year of the early yotas
Sweet!! I'm a little late to the party, but wanted to tell everyone, I just traded a 12 gauge shotgun for a 93 4runner!! It's my first toyota and I'm super excited to get it going!!
Wooo! Welcome to the club. Awesome you managed to trade firearms for a truck too! Haha
Really good content here! Love these builds!
Glad you enjoy it!
Man I love these build videos. Impressive work, not only on the yota but filming/editing as well!
Glad you like them!
What a transformation, that is an awesome truck!
We agree!
Why does watching these videos make me feel all kinds of gitty on the inside 😍😍 you sure do know how to make a yota purrrrdy!!!
Also what do you film an edit with by chance? Your killing it man!!!
Haha, I definitely make them look good on camera!
I shoot on a GH5 and edit with Davinci Resolve.
Wish I lived close enough to wheel with you guys. I’ve got a 86 4runner finishing up a sas with 5.29 gears and lockers front and rear and a 7mge swap I finished recently.
That sounds like a awesome build! I want to build a 1st Gen 4Runner one day.
Nice build/project!!! I have a family member selling a 85 with a custom flatbed camper (ugly) on it. If I buy it was going to try and find a short bed and call it day. Now I'm thinking of keeping the flat bed and build some kind of custom off road/camping/overland truck with custom jockey boxes and removable hoops so I can add a roof tent. Thanks for posting!!! Just subscribed :)
Nothing like cheap build! And having a ton of fun with it! Perry much what my 84 yota is! Good vid man
Right? This truck is so much fun, and so cheap! Thank you!
Good job on you video. I’m looking for something a lot more in depth on the ruf swap but you did a great job and I enjoyed this.
Yessah i have one and have just the minimal done small 2.5 OME lift, steering box upgrade, front and rear 5.29's, high pinion front, on board air w/airlocker f&r, and my favorite part atlas t-case. Daily driven looks like crap but idgaf put gas and point. Truck is in washington state aloha 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
THIS THING LOOOOOKS SOOOO GOOD NOW
Right?
Los mejores videos 👽
Looking pretty good.
Thank you! Cheers!
Awesome!
Hey, with the RUF, Did you build a Custom spring pack or is that just stock 85 Springs? Any changes with the push pull steering how that is setup... Also what did you do for the front Driveshaft? Custom or homemade?
What is the difference between a 4Runner and pickup leaf springs. Just picked up a very nice 4Runner with frowning leafs. There seems to be part number difference with the truck and 4Runner and I just want to lift it 3 inches above what factory was. Any help would be great.
Good job
Thanks
Hey sweet build man.👍🏻
I have an 85 im working on. Im stuck on wheels and tires. Im wanting to use if for firewood and hunting, so i dont need to big of tires. (31x10.5 15?) I hear you need to watch for the fronts rubbing on the calipers? Any good suggestions would be great!
Thanks- Joel
Lockers, hell yeah...a Detroit in the rear, and a Tru-Trac in the front...make sure to do the math for the correct gear selection based upon tire size, 4.88's are good up to 33's...I had an '88 with a 22RE that I built up with all kinds of Downey parts, lifted with 32x11.50 BF Goodrich MT, 4.88's(front and rear) and a Detroit(bulletprrof) in the rear and a Tru-Trac in the front, that truck would go just about anywhere with that combination...
Good plan! Ultimately up to my brother to decide on getting gears for his rig, we put 37s on the other day, and boy does it need gears. Haha
It’s amazing how simple it is to get Toyotas to work really well. Gears and lockers, point and go! A 4.7:1 gear in the transfer case is an amazing upgrade for crawling!
What was you pinion angle like when you did ruf
looks good. I would get some spacer blocks and lift that bed 2-4 inches. would look better and give some extra clearance
Even from a very young age, I have always loved almost anything with four wheels and an engine. When I became a teenager, my dad told me we would start looking for a vehicle for me if I didn't want the Camaro that my parents gave my sister. I thought I wanted something with a little more utility and I'm glad I held out on that. My dad knew whatever I had, I would try and drive it fast like kids do so he limited my options. He told me I could get a 4 cylinder truck with 4wd or I could get a 6 cylinder 2wd truck. I immediately went searching high and low to determine what the best 4 cylinder 4wd was for a reasonable first truck price. Natural I landed on the 84-89 Toyota trucks and 4runners and I liked them both from everything I could tell about them. They were really the first vehicles I ever truly wanted more then just any other old thing I saw. My dad was well aware of what I wanted and was looking for but I think he tried to steer the other way. Finally I turn 15 and I'm given a 1994 Chevy S10 2wd with more clear coat missing then what's left but I absolutely used it for anything and everything I had to. Eventually I made enough money to upgrade that for something else and I'm enjoying what I have now but with a couple thousand in the bank burning a hole in my pocket, I'm searching for an 84-85 4runner. I have to ask, where do you guys go to find these? I don't totally expect to find anything very solid but I just want to get in one, drive it anywhere it will take me and enjoy it before I put substantial money into the reality that will probably be fixing the body rot. With enough money to my name to be on the market for something cheap and fun, I really have to ask, where is it that you guys find these old trucks? If it needs maintenance but will run isn't far from driving, that would be ideal for me due to what I want to spend.
Thoroughly enjoy your content, keep up the good work and I look forward to what will come in the future of this channel.
That's quite the novel! These trucks are amazing. And we find them mostly from online classifieds ads. I make them look alot better on camera!
I've been looking for one since I've had a little money burning a hole in my pocket. I don't want the cream of the crop as far as these go, I would rather have one that's rough around the edges and on the side of cheaper but right now they're either to nice and expensive or ragged out completely and parted out to some extent.
Great video, that 85 looks even more awesome now. Can't wait to see it in more videos. Any plans for a selectable locker in the front? (someday)
Thank you! The 85 is certainly coming together. Some sort of front locker will for sure happen. Not sure, what or when though.
@@DirtGarage Time and money are the answers to everything, lol.
I got some new 22R(E) pistons with a Mazda parts truck. I can't remember if they're standard or oversize, I don't mind mailing them to you if you think you can put them to good use.
Tink Mimi darn wish I had seen this comment I would have asked for them for my 22r
Looks like yota country 🤘
Heck yeah!
are you guys going to swap in a v6 at any point?
My 03 taco 4 Cylinder has the 2 piece drive shafts, what’s better 1 or 2 piece drive shafts?
Do you have to have the bearing carrier or can it just be 1 continuous drive shaft with a double cardan CV ?
When doing the RUF set up do you need to and add high steering?
We modified the push pull arm to work at the time of filming, but shortly after upgraded to high steer. That alone is a huge worth while upgrade anyways!
Awesome Phil's_Toyotas
That flatbed is killer where did you happen to get it?
Once Boy Boy gets new tires will his current 33's be for sale?
I'm still looking for some for my Yota
You don't want his. They are baaad.
how did you extend the diveshaft, and by how much??
I believe we added 3"
Was anything modified to run the rears up front shackles or mount wise?
Yes we are running the TG 6" shackles up front, and we had to extend the push pull steering rod.
Hey appreciate that quick response an the awesome content keep doing what your doing it’s great!!
Dirt Garage you didn’t have to put the drop hanger up front, it bolted up with just the shackles?
i got my 86 for a xbox one that
Does that parts truck have a W56 trans in it ? Would you be interested in selling the trans shift stick?
Yup W56, maybe, are you local?
Dirt Garage I’m on the island I’ll pay shipping can’t seem to find the anywhere shoot me a PM
So you put the rears on the front🤔. What about spring hanger relocation? I'm guessing you skipped that?
I've got an 85 4runner(Sherman Tank). Installing 63' right now (trail gear kit). Been looking for good used square body 52's for the front. Not found any shackle kits for those.🤨
While I'm into it, putting my front disk brakes on the 86 rear and the 86 hubs on the 85. Discovered(the hard way) I need to change out my rotors for 80 and up fj front rotors(with a little modification). Here's to hoping it works! 🍻 Need to be done for EJS in a few weeks. 😬 Have a few other things I'm trying to finish for ejs, too...Marlin Crawler and a winch bumper.
Spring hanger relocation was not necessary. Stock rear was 48. Later swapped to Trail Gear 3" lift springs that are also 48", same ones i used on my 89 SAS Pickup.
@@DirtGarage I may give it a try this weekend, since my parts from rock auto are a couple days late anyways. 🤔 👍👍thanks
How are the RUF holding up? I see most people run a bastard pack and you guys went straight swap
RUF are still great as we did in this video! Highly recommend.
@@DirtGarage have they sagged any I’m doing the ruf just trying to decide if I should add a leaf or two
Tengo uno ayúdame
I thought 86 was the last year of the solid front axle and introduction of the 22re.
Nope 85. Only year to have both solid axle and 22RE. Atleast in Canada.
I used to have a 4runner that was titled as an 1986 and it had the solid front axle. But that was down here in the states.
@@williamhayes9642 According to wikipedia that should be a IFS truck.
How does it behave with the rears up front?
Like stock! Flex and off-road capability is night and day.
i wish i had a parts car to peal
Comments on ruf without highsteer?
It's not bad actually. You have to shorted the drag link on the push pull suspension about 2", ultimately this truck will most likely get highsteer though, its so much better.
@@DirtGarage thanks! Building an 85 2lt out in the west koots. Hope to come wheel out your way this summer though
@@vancitylurkerwhat part of west koots? im also doing the same lol
Hey I’m looking for a Toyota truck 1982 to 1987 tell me if anyone see any!
They are literally everywhere here in Oregon because we don't use salt.
What a pile of shit. I love it! Toyotas are awesome.
Haha! Most of them are, including mine. That's why I love them.
i have better music you can use for free
