Bump. Really loving my 1st gen so far. About to put some shackles on the back and do some turning on the t bars.

i suggest NOT doing the shackles..

do a search on here for BJ spacers and "Zuk mod coil springs"..A LOT better ride quality my friend!

look for junkers88 or 88junkers...which ever way u spell that screen name lol..he's done both on his 1st gen runner and he loves it!!

I REALLY like that color on 1st gens. Theres a super clean '88/'89 v6 cruisin' around town here in the same color, with a nice level stance and 32", sweet basket on top and nice bumpers. Its funny cuz a fat old lady drives it

I just sold mine, The guy lied to me when he sold it to me and put thicker oil in it so it would not smoke. The whole front end needed redone, tie rod ends, pitman arms, steering stablizer, it needed valve seals and maybe more, but it did not have a spec of rust on it anywhere. I got 3500.00 and i was only asking 2800 lol.

I have another one for parts it has a knocking motor in it, auto tranny, decent body and top, all good running gears rear ends etc... for 400 bucks if anyone wants it. It does come with a title. It can actually befixed and ran.

Coil springs? The truck has leaf springs on the rear now so hows that supposed to work?

Ive had shackle lifts on about 4 different vehicles now and dont have any complaints with them so far.

That sucks man. But hey, where are you located?

Removed mud flaps and tons of chrome trim. Fixed wiring issues. worked out about 18 dents. About to lift and put baha claws on!

Believe it or not, the coils go on top of the leafs and up around the bump stop. No kidding, search it, an interesting mod that takes care of the saggy ass for not much money. I did not do it, I went with 2" OME lift springs, but seriously considered it.

Nice find, I have an '89, love the first gen. I was eyeballing a really clean bone stock rig in town yesterday, but the wife caught me and forbid me to add to my 1st gen collection. Ah well, I guess I will just go get the Sig .40 S&W I have been looking at.

Wish I lived outside of CA sometimes. With our gun restrictions it seriously crimps my addiction to high capacity firearms.

^^ Hell yea Outlawmike, i didnt know you could slip coil springs in there like that. Ill have to check that out. Where can i see some pics of your truck? I hear ya about the gun laws too man, there starting to get worse. Dont get me started about that though i may run my mouth all day. lol.

I've been in Oregon all week with the family (in my saggy 87 4runner, which has done great so far!). Parts should be there when I get back next week. I will definitely report back here and likely create a new DIY post with lots o pics
