    Full lock in progress. Ckma12 was not going to fit without some crazy wizardry so I used the smaller cksa12 compressor. No worries, I can just use my portable compressor for filling tires.

    It was anthracite I believe. It ended up weathering to a darker color so I just took it off and went back to chrome.

    Wow, awesome build(s)!

    Digging both the 4Runner and the latest addition!

    Do you have a dedicated build thread for the '88 pickup? If so, can you share a link?

    These are great trucks and your execution is on point! It sure is getting more difficult to locate rust free trucks...

    Thanks.

    This is kind of a better build thread. It starts with the 84 SR5 that I had a while back. The 88 starts about mid second page.
    https://www.nc4x4.com/forum/threads/84-toyota-old-red.65045/

    or, my Instagram is 3.go_t8y8ta

    The new engine is getting put in right now. I’m over the moon excited about that.

    Engine is sorted out and running very well.

    Next incoming parts. Winch bumper, and Warn EVO 8s. The bumper is at my fabricator getting a few other plates welded in for the turn signals.

    They settled out to about 2” lift. Perfect. For anyone looking at Kings, I would recommend getting a 600#-650# spring rate. The standard 550# springs ride like butter but could stand to be a little more firm.

    These were the ones where you were talking about the anthracite, which seems like that was your first choice.

    I'm hoping you still have or remember what color you went with after the anthracite which was the perfect match is for the MGM. Or maybe the anthracite will weather darker since you removed the darker color afterwards anyway? Thanks and love the build (and the hilux), read all the way through.

    I believe it was the anthracite grey that matched better. In the end that turned out faded and junky looking so I went back to chrome.
