Well after the usual stretch of binge procrastination, I started my 85 runner build-up. As with most refinements, one must disassemble the object to it's basic components before overhauling. I'm tired. Here are some pics. I have others, but can't find the upload cable for the digi-cam.


Removing the last of the axle paraphernalia.



Like father, like son. "Dad, this gun is heavy"



Displaying our prize. Ready for disassembly...



Here it sits all stripped down. Parts are stored for cleaning and re-assembly. The other axle is from an 89 V6 runner....I may use that one later.



An example of the contortions I must practice to appease the Student Housing Compliance Officer. While there is no axle/leaf springs secured to those wheels, at least they are under the vehicle and if the usual drive-by inspection is executed, he'll never notice my flagrant violation of the rules.



And finally, the carnage. Apparently, pneumatic tools and a heaping dose of grease/dirt amalgamation is not manly enough, I must also bleed....
