Now if I could only afford a 2nd truck and the equipment to make it into one of those. Nice pics Jon

Prerunner1982 · 12-02-2002, 01:39 AM

well these were going to be used for inspiration... but after talking to a fellow prerunner i have decided to take a slightly different route..

i am going to finish the engine, and trans... body and interior and leave it at that.. not going any bigger.. but will continue to run 31"s and maybe 3.23 rear end (any other ideas on that?)...

my future prerunner will be either a late 80s toyota... or s-10..
easier and more popular for mods...cheaper too...

the prerunner will be aways in the future. and not sure where it will fall in... i would also like to build another Jeep.... so we will see...

I need to get me a good 4x4. I would like to have a Jeep or an older Blazer (full size). Something that can get scratched and I wouldnt care. An old full size blazer with camo paint and everything else black (not lights) would be pretty cool.

3r!c84 · 10-05-2010, 09:50 PM

Anyone notice that that crew cab had a twin I-beam front suspension?
