Kentucky Armory Club

I bought a 3rd gen 3.4 4Runner that had been rolled a couple months ago to do some wheeling and give hell. I decided to stop beating on my 1st gen and fix it up. Finally got a start on it this weekend. Got the frontend mostly pulled out, radiator and condenser out of it. Made a new rear control arm and got wheels and tires on it. Mostly done on the bottom for now. Will be solid axle swapping it eventually. Now to fix a few things under the hood and get it running and then for some more port a powering and some protection. Then, fuck shit up!

build, wheel, break, repeat...

Basically my starting point. I forgot to take pictures before we actually started. Front end has already been pulled out some as well as the radiator and condenser removed and new rear axle installed already in this picture.

Rear control arm we made. It turned out better than the original.

Finished, installed arm.

The broke axle and screwed up wheel.

Stopping point for the weekend.

This past weekend I got the radiator in and lots more body bending done and actually drove it around my buddy's yard.

It looks like the Death Star in The Empire Strikes Back!

Your making progress man.

Lots of porta powering and beating and it's finally ready for a windshield now. Got a temporary bumper on it to go play at DTOR's Birthday Bash in 2 weeks. Still needs electric fan, rear bumper, windshield set in, and clutch and brakes bled.

Having major clutch issues! Looks like they have been found...haha

Lightweight version

The pressure plate, the truck, or both? hahaha

Well, both. But I wouldn't mind having the truck.

Looks like something out of a Mad Max movie right now...haha It'll eventually start looking more like a 4Runner again. Should be a lot of fun. If we can get this thing back together tomorrow night, it goes for it's first beat down Sat at DTOR...

Sounds fun

I can't wait! I'm ready to fuck some shit up! haha My 84 I've been mostly nice to, this one will be treated like a $2 whore!
