Grovedogg's 1st Gen

Just purchased this nice little 84 Runner SR5, come to find out I am just the 3rd owner with loads of paperwork. Still in stock form little/no body damage inside and out. AllPro Rear Bumper is just about the only aftermarket item on this rig.
I have looked at many of ur rides and have gathered quite a bit of information, as I am a "newbie" to the yota scene as well as 4x4.

Already ordered the Coleman Safari Rack and AllPro Shackles.

Here's a few pics of when I got it home.





Bailey loves the new Runner



Cool feature from the PO was relocation of the spare, but I'll have to move it to sleep.

Yep, got the rack from Costco for only $65
They even sent me the front shield, but the tabs to attach it to the basket were not there.



Ah well, have to FAB somethin up.

well, no progress yet, you know how the economy is now, I have a tough time just filling the tank, here in Cali a gallon goes for $4.30

list of upcoming mods:

Marlin front bumper
used 3" springs all around (so really 2 1/2")
added benfit... the springs come with shocks
sway-bar quick disconnect
4.70 tcase gears
33x12.50's
4.88 diffy gears
diff breather mod
front and rear rock lights ( for the late nite tip )

I've thought of engine upgrades, but it's a 22R, who am I kidding.....
maybe get a header, full exhaust ,and a replacement pipe for the CAT location
other than that, i'll be in 3rd gear up hills...
