yeah, sas is a little extreme for me. i had a few ideas though, i want to upgrade the tires to 31x10.5 bfg at/ko's and remove the running boards and bug shield as well as a few engine mods to squeeze a few more horsepower out of the litle 22re. other than that i was looking for some heavy duty front and rear bumpers that dont add a lot of weight. ideas?

I didn't know they put the 22RE in the runners that year. Thought they all had V6's buy then. Defenately a nice and clean looking 4runner . I'm sure the people here will help you spend your money.

I use to own a '92 4-Runner, w/the 22RE I4 engine and 5 speed. It had No options at all. Especially no electric windows, which I liked, except for the rear windows. It was a big mistake, on my part, to get rid of it for my Tacoma. Yours is the first that I've seen w/chrome bumpers, w/the 22RE I4 engine I mean. All the ones I've seen, including mine, had the gray painted bumpers.
The first mod that I did on it was to put manual hubs on it. With this mod, I gained around 3 mpg, because w/the stock Toyota A.D.D., or Automatic Differential Disconnect system, while you may be in 2 HI, or 2 wheel drive, your axles are still rotating, but with the manual hubs mounted and unlocked, nothing is moving, thus less load on the powertrain.
An additional mod that I did was to replumb the vacuum actuated A.D.D. system, such that, the actuator stayed permanently locked. What this mod does is to allow you to shift easier into 4 HI, because w/the hubs locked, everything is rotating, including the driveshaft, thus allowing for an easier shifting. It also allows you to keep all the bearings, including the drive shaft's, dry, moisure wise, and well lubricated, by locking the hubs and driving in 2 Hi for around 25 miles once a month, a once common recommended procedure by all the 4 wheel drive manufacturers when we had REAL 4 wheel drives rather than todays Yuppy generation of 4 wheel drives. See http://www.off-road.com/toyota/tech/add/index.htm for the directions.
My Tacoma has a simular system, except that it is now electric and not vacuum. I evenually want to put a standard locking front end in someday. Shifting into 4 Hi isn't always easy, because of the transfer case gears not meshing properly. I have to at least see about maybe installing manual hubs, for a little more fuel economy. Again I gain around 3 mpg w/the mod on the 4-Runner.
