A couple weekends ago, I invited some friends over for a "garage night". My FrankenDiesel 4runner's "2l" diesel engine had a cracked head and was blowing up coolant hoses. I bought a rebuilt head in SC and was itching to put it on. I also wanted to chop the arse off the 4runner to give it a short pickup bed.
Anyway, good times were had by all. Even my wife came out to play!
And here is the semi-finished product:
It still needs a few finishing touches:
-set of aluminum wheels off a ford ranger
-army green paint
-steel ladder/cargo rack that will easily fit 4x8 plywood, and with tabs set up to take 4-5 of my real estate sign posts
- fabbed up steel bumper/push bars with driving lights. I'm going to wait until I buy a plow and integrate it into the mount.
- Some decent front seats. The ones in it are terribly uncomfortable
- a 2 tank veggie conversion
