Hey Friends, I decided to join the group. I have been perusing the info on this site for a few weeks. I recently obtained my 1st gen 87 SR5 as a partial trade. Ive been a Ford and Dodge guy forever, and begrudgingly accepted this runner as a partial trade for another truck. I must say, after a few weeks of tinkering on it, its growing on me. My main issue with the rig is the wire that connects to the knock sensor melted in an apparent engine fire. The check engine light comes on at 2,000 RPM and the timing retards so bad its hardly mobile. Currently searching the site to figure out how to fix this issue.
Just added FJ wheels, full tune up, all new fluids and filters. A million trips to the car wash....Several rub downs with the buffer. She was neglected, but is slowly making it back to the sharp SUV she once was.
Nice Looking ride. Been through Raton several times. Beautiful county!
Just got this baby. 1st 4runner, 1986, 91,000 miles, pretty much garage kept until the guy I git it from left it in the weather with windows down for God knows how long. Replaced brakes, shocks...next up valve gasket and suspension looks a little rough.
22RE, someone had also run a CB wire between the top and the seal putting a permanent crease in the seal and creating a leak. I need a new seal but Yota doesn't make them anymore, I guess I'll have to manufacture my own.

Actually has lots of road/wind rash that I'm slowly working on.
