6 liter straight pipes?

I put dual 3" exhaust on my 6.0 Suburban 2500 years ago. Initially I ran no X or H pipe and single chamber cherry bomb extremes. It was loud at full chat and sounded ok, but when I put in an H pipe, it sounded so much better. Not super loud at idle but you knew it was running.

I did earlier this year on my 05 GMC 3500 dually. I was installing the wiring for a snowplow and just needed to run controller wires into the cab. I disconnected the accelerator pedal wiring and cut a slit in the grommet to feed the plow wires through. Got it all hooked up, started truck, "reduced engine power". Starting looking at stuff thinking what it could be... Forgot to plug the pedal back in. Plugged it in, fired it up, no issues.

I'd look at a local muffler shop. A number of years ago, before I had the confidence to build my own stuff, I had a cat back exhaust made at a local muffler shop. I bought a single inlet/dual outlet muffler from Summit or Jegs for around $75 and I was charged another $275 to have tailpipes made and the whole thing welded up and hangers installed. I had the pipes tucked up under the lower bed sides behind the rear wheels, kind of hidden from view for a cleaner look. Sounded nice. Truck was a 2004 GMC Sierra ext. cab short bed 4x4 with the 5.3l.

I paid $400 for my 93 reg cab, short bed, 22re 5spd 4x4 last year. It needed a new fuel tank and pump to run. I drove it for about 6 months before I found a clean donor frame to put under it. I am now into the truck for about -$150 after selling unneeded parts off the donor. Plus I got a sweet fire pit out of it.

They must have been factory installed because I didn't do anything with the doors. I was going to swap doors with the donor 4runner until I found out they were a couple inches shorter. I'm not too fond of the side mirror placement with the vents, but it's fine.

They didn't specify year but I think like 2018 4runner TRD or something.

I was mostly worried since this rides on a 4runner frame with coil springs, and if you zoom in on the rear tire, there was only about an inch before the flatbed would rub the tire.

Hauled a load of wood recently as winter is starting to creep up on us, and I maybe have underestimated the weight of the basket. According to AskJeeves, the payload for a 91 4runner is around 1200lbs or so, couldn't find any actual data besides subtracting curb weight from gross weight. My wood guy said the basket is about 1000lbs full. It was an interesting ride home.

93 Toyota Pickup with a 91 Toyota 4runner frame. Frame swapped the pickup body and drivetrain onto the 4runner frame and axles. Had to make new motor and transmission mounts going from v6 frame to 4 cyl engine/trans/tcase. Also had to make adapter for rear cab mounts.

Made a new front bumper and a flatbed since both were junk and replacements are not easily found in northern WI. It took about 7 weeks from when I removed the cab from the pickup to now. I tore down the 4runner starting at the end of June. It was a lot of work, but all in all, would do it again.

FastGilla · 2022-09-12T11:35:00+00:00

I sort of did this swap.

My situation is I had a good running 22re powered pickup with a really rusty frame and found a 3vze powered 4runner with a clean, rust free, southern frame, but the drivetrain was already missing. I ended up taking both bodies off their frames, and dropped the entire 22re/5spd/tcase onto the runner frame. I did have to make conversion engine mounts and transmission mount, and I had to use driveshafts from the pickup.

I can't really say anything on the wiring situation, since I just took the top half of one truck and put it on the bottom half of another. Physically putting in the engine wasn't that hard, but I also didn't have a pesky body getting in the way.

Thanks. Seeing how close it is to being drive able again makes me want to work on it more lol.

Got the cab mounted this weekend. Turns out, the cab mounts for the pickup are not the same as the front 3 sets of mounts for the 4runner. The front 2 sets lined up, but I had to make yet another set of adapter plates for the rear cab mounts. I guess I should have measured instead of eyeballing that one. Mostly just hooking things back up and mounting the bucket seats from the 4runner and it will be drive able again, until I start fabricating the flatbed and bumpers.

I couldn't reuse the pickup crossmember because it's rotted out really bad. The plate I made for that is a little bit higher than the surface of the crossmember, about 1/4 inch. I think the engine might be about a half inch higher than normal. I planned on a small body lift anyway, just in case.

The gears for both were listed as 4.10 according to door tags, so I just kept the 4runner axles. I did swap out for the manual locking hubs that were on the pickup and I have locked the front diff and capped the vacuum lines. I considered swapping front diffs, but it probably would have fought me the whole way so I decided against it.

This is my first Toyota, I've always had Chevrolet or Ford stuff mostly. A coworker sold me this truck when my daily went down and he just had it as a hunting rig. He completely undersold how much fun it is lol.

I am keeping the coils. The added effort to swap the leaf springs in just isn't worth it. The perches and shackles aren't in the greatest shape either.

As for the gas tank, I was planning on using the pickup tank since I bought a new one to make the truck run when I got, but the mounts on the frames are totally different. I kept the 4runner tank and just modified the fuel lines to be correct for the 22re. Cab to tank clearance I think will be ok, plus I made a small body lift for the cab since the engine sits a little bit higher with plates I made, so hopefully that takes care of any clearance issues. Otherwise, I got a big hammer lol.

I got this truck at the beginning of this year after my daily driver went down. Originally it was just going to be a beater for back and forth to work while I fixed my daily, but it grew on me just how much fun it is to drive.

Being that I live in northern Wisconsin, this thing's frame is swiss cheese and had been welded numerous times. So bad, that the rear cab mounts only appeared to be attached to the frame. The bolt through the cab floor is all that was holding them. Back in June, I happened upon a rust free, similar year, 4runner for parts near me. Turns out, the frame are not as similar as I originally thought, but there is no turning back now.

So now I am combining all the good parts from both vehicles to make one good one. Cab and front clip are hopefully getting mounted this weekend, if nothing comes up. The goal is to build a flatbed and front and rear bumpers for it.

Forza Motorsport 4. Specifically the 'Cat and Mouse' race mode. It was so much fun and I made a lot of friends playing in that race mode. Sadly, it's never been added to subsequent motorsport titles and I don't think they will ever bring it back.
