El Burro - 1989 4Runner Build

[owyheerat]

Boss told me to get lost for a week, so booked it up to Seattle to ride bikes and work on the a 4Runner. Got a lot of little items buttoned up today. Welded in rear shock mounts, installed new front brake pads, torsion bars, starter, slave cylinder, rear diff breather, and started torqueing it all down.

I can't wait for you to get this thing back on the trails. Let me know your impressions on the new tranny.

Great job

Just wrapped up an 1800 mile trip from San Diego to Utah and back. The 4Runner did great. Looking forward to completing a few more projects to make the next trip even better!

Awesome! I'm glad to hear you got El Burro on the trail! What are your thoughts on the Marlin Crawler tranny?

Hey Durwin,

The transmission has done everything I asked of it so far. No complaints and smooth shifts

Nice. Glad to hear that. Again, great job on the rebuild. I love seeing these 'old' Toyotas still on the trails.
