    Project DD

    i went out with a buddy today to take a look at an 85 4runner he is going to buy to replace his 85 that was in a head on accident, while we were there we picked this up. the guy selling the 85 4runner to my buddy is also throwing in a 89 4runner for free. my buddy passed the savings along to me and has generously give me the 89. the plans are to fix it, (it needs a new tranny), and make it my DD then sell my Honda to finish the motor swap on my big runner. the inside is fairly clean but can for sure use some TLC. the outside is clean except for the passenger side front grill where the previous owner hit a dog. but the tires look to be brand new.

    the good:
    FREE!
    Clean
    FREE!
    no rust
    FREE!
    new tires
    FREE!

    the bad:
    bad tranny
    3.0
    262,000 miles

    so its been 10 months BUT the truck is finally on the road. tranny has been fixed, all electrical issues have been sorted out (or at least i know what i need to do to fix it), passed smog this morning with flying colors, and is legally registered in my name and is insured....


    MY god i need to regear... 4.10s + 31s +3.0 + auto = SUCK..... luckily i have 5.29s waiting to go in


    things left to do:
    wash/polish/wax
    Fix grill
    replace "door Control" unit... so the passenger side window works again
    replace corner light
    buy/install H4 headlight conversion
    install HIDs
    install new gears
    Oil Change
    install AALs in the rear
