thanks .... but

no stock in Canada .. so it will get cancelled .. already tried

.

little shipment today ..

all new hardware , neversiezed and installed , " torque'd to spec "






.

whats that shock for along the leaf spring? looks like some type of traction bar. but wont it still twist <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

look higher in the post. he explains it.

started to tear down the original Truck today .. finally .......

got it up to the bay doors .. My son , and his buddys started to clean out the rear .. lots of crap stored in there ..



and cleaned out ..



I was very anxious to see the condition of the rear seat , so that was second on the list ..

I was at the front , and was looking at the front passenger seat , and noticed a leaver .. so I pulled it , and to my surprise .. COOL the seat flips forward , to allow the rear passengers room to get in



you can also see the backs of the front seats are covered .. and also , with the seat folded flat , you can see it makes the floor flat .. this is the "Q" for the seat deleate panel in the 84-89's , how cool is that !!!!



I had Brayden jump in , and I had him pull up the seat ..





It's absolutly perfect .. no rips , tears .. nothing .. only the seat belt impressions .. other then the rust on the steel , it's an absolutly awesome shape ..

and from the back (seat folded up )




how cool is that ?







so continuing on ...
the boys got the windows out



and that was about it for them ..
I "cut" out the roll bar , as the one side was rusted completly threw



and then had to grind the bolts off the trim panel , to start the interior strip .



once I got those off , I could pull out the sides , and the headliner ..

basically got er' stripped .. front and rear seats out





and carpet , and interior





and now just a shell , and ready to come apart ..



looks like im going to need a whole new floor though ..

I usually ship my parts to a U.S. UPS store near the border and bring it across myself. I have only ever paid PST & GST on parts, regardless of where they were made, although technically, you should pay duty on parts made outside North America.

If you bring it across yourself, there are no customs or brokerage fees. With used parts, like the diffs I got, the border guys usually ask a few questions and wave me through, no charge. If you're stuck, PM me. Maybe I can help since I live a mile form the border.

today , we got the roof off .. finally
what a job .. there are tons of screws holding them suckers on .. WOW .

Brayden cutting the rivits , and elevator bolts



seperating the roof



and finally removed ..





and the dirt packed into a leaking seam ..



and the bottom edge of the topper ...



also got the doors off , and my apprentice , started cutting off the running boards .. They were so rusted , there was just no other way ..



his buddy also showed up , and started on the other side ..



we got er' done , or should I say , they got er' done , while I closed the box install with my customer "Chad" .. and then brought another 4Runner (Andrews) Complete in to the shop , starting Monday ..

Tomorrow .. Brayden and I are going to try to get the rear tub and fenders off , and also the cab ..

How are you going to fix that floor!!? Are you going to fab all new sheet metal or cut some sections out of a donor vehicle? -- Matt

well so far the plan is ...

I cut out the floor section of an old box I had .. because of the ribs .. so i'm going to see if I can use that .

other then that , i'm not sure yet ..
