4x4 1st gen help
hey guys, im posting cause i need some advice. i have a 1985 4runner.. its a 1st gen with the solid front axle and efi. as of now it's stock but it does have all the sr5 options. im 16 but im working so i do have some money to spend. id really like to make my runner preform better offroad. so im looking to lift it, new shocks, new tires, etc.. this is my first vehicle so i really dont know where to start, ive done alot of the small things like new plugs and wires etc. im just wondering where i should go from here. lift? shocks?... btw. i have about $500 to spend right now but im pulling in about $400 spending money every month.
thanks for the help,
kelly

Wanna trade me with my 95 4runner?
solid axle.... *drools*
an easy place to start would be get a good set of tires. what tired do you have on there now?

im in almost the same situation as you, except i have an 83.
gotta love that SFA. you can stuff 31x10.5 on it as it sits, and you wont have any problmes. going bigger stock will require hacking, new rims, ect. if you are planning on lifting for sure, check for used tires. thats how i picked up my 32's, cost me $175 for the set on 15x10 mt's.
remember, with lift and larger tires comes gears, and dont forget about at least a rear locker. all this costs $$$$$$$$$$.
good luck, and if you need any help, joez60451 on aim.
