4banginRunner's 87 4Runner
Well figured it's been long enough, might as well make one of these.
Original Stats:
1987 Toyota 4Runner SR5
22RE
Automatic
Cruise and A/C
Gray with Gray interior
Power windows, locks, mirrors, antenna
Bought it with a 3" BL, mix-matched P235s, a "new" black tailgate, cracked sunroof, no passenger side door panel, and a dead battery. After eyeing it up for almost 2 years, I finally got enough scrap money together to bring her home.
First change was a brown and tan interior out of an '85 4runner with an altimeter, new sunroof, a tune up, and new meats
Sunroof
"New" meats (265/70/16 BFG Rugged Trails on Taco 16s)
Half way through swapping the interior.
Next was some new sheet metal. New drivers fender, doors, and tailgate. Started the multicoloredness
Bash bar off my old 90 4runner and the top off
Next up was getting her one color, took it off road for the first time.
stock IFS flex..BL on still
Next was a set of 4.56 V6 thirds, Flowmaster 40 series and some used Rancho's for the rear
Removed the sway bar. Ride, flex, handling made a night and day difference.
Started getting rid of the rear rot...not proud of the way it was done and the amount of bondo...but it looks presentable.
"Finished"
Random mud shot before altitude changes
Took the BL and bash bar off, replaced with new Energy Suspension body mounts and Grade 8 hardware.
Bought a set of 305/75/16 Nittos at the Bloomsburg Jamboree, added a Toytech lift (1.5" BJ spacers, AAL in the rear) and went primer gray for a while.
Over summer break, I swapped in a W56A out of a '85 4runner...world of difference! Started averaging 22MPGs
by golly theres a stick where an auto used to be!
finished up
Painted blue with black trim
Her first stuck
custom Zuk mod results
Battery/Intake swap with homemade AFM adapter and marine terminals
Updates will come as time and money allow
Feel free to PM me any questions
and..............
