Gday,
I am currently undertaking a V6 Commo conversion on my 85 runner. I pulled the shell off the other day and am 95% sure that a cab swap will be done as there is abit of rust in the runner. ( Not suprised for its age)
Apart from the rust i need new headlights, grill, windscreen which will cost me around the $600 mark anyway. So am thinking of chucking in some extra beans and grabbing a cab with less or no rust.
Will probably source a whole car and just take what i need and then flog the chassis and running gear off to try and recoupe costs.
Leaning towards a newer shape 4 runner. 89 onwards.
Just wanted to know if there was anyone out there who would be interested in manning together, who wants an IFS rolling chassis. I know they are not the most sought after chassis being IFS but thought i would throw out a line.
Depending on what i get there may be a box involved as well.
Cheers
Dave

I ended up grabbing this for a cab swap.
It is a pretty sweet deal i think.
91 4 runner complete with auto minus engine for $1500.00
ARB bullbar.
Hayman reece towbar.
One set of tyres on the car - 4 X CHROME 4 RUNNER RIMS WITH TYRES 205 X16
One set to go with it - 4 X SUNRAYSIA RIMS WITH 30X 9.5X15 TYRES
Air conditioning - Which i was going to buy for the 85 runner anyway.
Sweet interior with cruise control.
And most of all a rust free cab. Oh yeah baby.
Will post up parts that are available in FS section soon.
Cheers

I will make it fit dont you worry about that.
On a serious note.
All the research i have done indicates a modification to one set of body mounts.
I am sure there will be afew other little bang bangs here and chop chops there but hey it is a 4WD.
I am going to try my absolute hardest to document the work done with plenty of pics so others can undertake the swap.
Keep a look out in the toyota section.
