89' runner, front end noies and longevity
this 4runner kicks ass this is sort of an update, i"ve had the the 22re hustling around jersey roads road up and down the hills to get up to my place "mountain" roads ridiculous in the woods 4x4 low is incredible good on the roads and highways i'm all over the place, even with the 32"s wrapped on the 11.5's
its even a decent city driver, lots of ruff stuff out here in jersey
cops aren't busting my balls too bad on the paint job, but a local cop was busting on my exhaust leak and "unapproved equipment" gave me a seat belt ticket instead of the moving violation cause of the company i work for,
3n1/2" lift in the rear
32" t/a Bfgoodrich
i'm concerned I've been taking too long of trips, but the truck loves to run'
airs been cold and the engine likes to be warn, should i be really concerned about my front end? , only noises I've experienced have disappeared

It was a run on sentence for sure, but Allan's had run on paragraphs and novellas too, so this one's fairly easy to understand.
As for driving it... keep driving til it breaks. Nothing you're doing to it is something it wasn't designed to do. If that was the case, things would be breaking or it wouldn't make it where you wanted.
The cold air / hot engine thing is not a big deal. As long as the coolant circulates when the engine warms up enough to need it, your heater works and the rad and fan do their jobs, little to worry about there. If it takes a long time to warm up... you should have warm (not necessarily hot) air out the heater within a few miles of driving... the thermostat may not be operating properly. If it's a cold idle / warm idle problem any one of several things could be causing that.

wow i didn't think that would confuse people all that much,
well thanx i don't have a prob with the way the truck runs.
i was more concerned with the highway driving cause of the fact it has big heavy tires,. I was only pointing out the truck loves to run warm and the cold air was good for horses.
