Not bad for 10-hours at all. Are these going to be welded on or bolted on?
your buddy has a sweet 4Runner too! Going first-gen crazy here!
<span style=”-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);”>My friends 4runner is so well built it has everything that you could want on a first gen. The sliders, </span>I welded them on, the steel that the frame is made from wasn’t the easiest to weld to but I got it done. Here’s some pics

</p>evan, between you n tom, you guys keep this builds subforum going! keep at it. us ole fawkers don’t work as fast as you young punks do.
Good eye slick, my friend is scrapping his Xtracab so I grabbed the weather stripping and the clips from his truck! Took an SR5 gauge cluster too and the windshield trim.
No kidding Finn, I haven’t worked much because there’s been no snow so I’ve had lots of time to tinker.
Got a light bar at princess auto yesterday and installed it today on my bumper.

Oh man those sliders look like a whole lot more than you spent. Great work man.
Spotted a Boler on a cruise with my girls yesterday. Heading home from Alliston, took a road we’ve never driven before, and this was just before the dead end.
Looked in good shape, def sitting a while though.
That thing is awesome and it matches your Runner. I wonder if they’d sell it. What would you pay for something like that? I know they’ve gone up in value since people like the older look of them.
Been chipping away at my truck tonight in the shop, I finally got my twin shifter boot for the tcase. Wired up the CB which has been a long time coming. And I swapped out my gauge cluster, hopefully I have a working temp sensor now. The electric one I got doesn’t seem to be working for some reason. I’ve been 5 years without. I would always get random temperature overshoot and the gauge would climb and it always made me nervous.
I just need to take note somewhere of the kms of the old gauge now because I’ll need that when I renew my sticker haha!
Don’t think I’m in the market for a trailer yet, no idea what a Boler is worth. Gonna work on backyard camping with the girls this spring/summer, hopefully do an overnight or weekend at a Provincial Park if all goes well.
I’ll send you a pinpoint on a map if you wish to pursue that boler. There wasn’t a For Sale sign, Zi just recall you had an interest in them.
Sounds like you were pretty productive while waiting on the flakes to fly. We got 5-10cm last night, made the drive to work today much more fun.
Yeah text me the pin! I’m always looking into flipping neat projects. Millennials and tiny house enthusiasts pay a premium for these stupid little things according to the kijiji prices I just searched. Mind you the ones on there are well outfitted.
Provincial parks are perfect to start out.
You should definitely check that one out then it looks pretty cool!
SIDE NOTE: Does anyone have experience with portable air compressors. I’m thinking the 12v ones that clamp to your battery is probably best for me. If I came across a deal on an ARB one I could go that route but I like the idea of the portable ones coming in a bag and staying out of the elements. Rather than wiring one into the engine bay.
Evan, I just sent you a text for the lication of the boler.
Slick, just sent you a pm with my cell number, I’ll send you a map pin also.
Have a stuck brake calliper that I’m addressing And finally tracked down a coolant leak coming from the thermostat housing so I just got a new gasket and will finish putting it in today. did an oil change as well.
Also a friend of mine in the Dundas area is selling his BJ 60. It is a five speed 470,000 km, body and frame is awesome. ARB air lockers 2 inch old man emu lift 33 inch cooper Discoverers. Really cool truck here’s a pic, somewhere around $15k
