New in Arizona

Picked up an 87 4Runner 2 weeks ago. 176k miles, AZ Truck, 1 owner - $750.

Plan on making her a trail rig so I don't kill my $25k Xterra to badly on the trails

Planning a small suspension lift to start with - Ball Joint Spacers & AAL or Shackles, combined with a 2" BL a little later. Combined with some 33's hopefully, if everything will fit under there.

Eventually once I sell my old house and pay off the Xterra in a few months I'll be going for Lockers and maybe even an SAS conversion in the future.

My rig as she stands right now:

Love the forums guys

Indeed it is. I've been wheeling in AZ for a few years. Moved to AZ from England 6 years ago. Got hooked with my old 2wd Xterra, then upgraded to a 4x4 Xterra. Now I want to get into some serious wheeling / back country stuff with the 4Runner.
