Tofer's 1989 4Runner Build-Up Thread
i went out with a buddy today to take a look at an 85 4runner he is going to buy to replace his 85 that was in a head on accident, while we were there we picked this up. the guy selling the 85 4runner to my buddy is also throwing in a 89 4runner for free. my buddy passed the savings along to me and has generously give me the 89. the plans are to fix it, (it needs a new tranny), and make it my DD then sell my Honda to finish the motor swap on my big runner. the inside is fairly clean but can for sure use some TLC. the outside is clean except for the passenger side front grill where the previous owner hit a dog. but the tires look to be brand new.
the good:
FREE!
Clean
no rust
newer tires
FREE!
the bad:
bad tranny
3.0
262,000 miles

replace corner light
buy/install H4 headlight conversion
install HIDs
install new gears
Oil Change
install the AALs in the rear
