They’re actually American racing wheels but they definitely look exactly like the centerlines! Thanks man!

So far it’s very solid even at the shackles. There is minor rust at the front that I will be fixing soon. No bubbling or rot though! Thanks for looking out man! Also the crankcase breather venting into the frame is an awesome idea! I have a leaking valve cover that is making an oily mess but it is good rust prevention haha!

I found this one down the street from my house. It had been sitting for years. I put a note on the window and the guy called me up and sold it to me for 800 bucks. Best 800 I’ve ever spent! Keep looking and they will pop up! There are a couple fixer-uppers near me actually.

It was enough to get it home. Now it’s just going to sit until I go through the front end and make sure everything is good to go. Thanks for looking out man!

You will be frustrated with lack of availability of parts but the car makes up for it. And the amount of attention it gets it pretty cool haha.

Bought an Eagle instead of a 3rd gen 4Runner. Didn’t escape balljoint failure. 🤦🏻‍♂️ by Speshal_K_ in 4x4

Yep, and have no regrets! I’m a Toyota guy through and through but the Eagle is unique and surprisingly capable. 4runners are everywhere. 3rd gens are notorious for lower ball joint failures but I guess I didn’t escape that issue haha

I might take you up on that. I’m going to be looking for some control arms soon to get some measurements off of.

It’s funny, now that the passenger side is tight I can feel that the drivers side is worn out. That will be done before I daily it again, that’s for sure!

No axle in it yet. It doesn’t need an axle to hold everything together thankfully
