Alright, everybody post up their favorite mod they have done/installed on their first-gen.

So far, my favorite is my maglite mounting clips:

 

so far its that i bobbed my longbed 16"

 

Is the Chevy leaf spring mod for the rear of 1st gen 4Runners worth it? or should I get replacement springs with a lift (3" to 4") from a vendor?

 

everybody says the 63" chevy swap is definately worth it...gives around 3in. lift...and has good flex with 4runners...as long as u got some weight on the rear..(like u do)...then it should be worth it

 

this thread is for 1st gen trucks (79-83 PICKUPS) buttttt i'll be nice

63" chevys are a cheap and easy mod, if u have the time & welding exp. 2 do so

3"-4" replacement springs are probably the simplest being in most cases bolt-on and will maintain your stock ride quality

 

I kind of like my tube doors during the summer...

Hope to have the dual cases in around the first of the year so that might be new fav...

 

I love my ARB


Or my maybe my favorite is my Weber, or my Thorley Header, or my cam, or my onboard air system, or my 4.88's, or my 4.7's, or my high steer, or my 34's...

I can't pick a favorite, I just like the whole truck.

 

the mud ..

this is my old rig .. /80 , 7" lift (NO body) ARB's , 5:29's , 36" swampers , 150HP hi-brid engine .. ect .. ect ..

 

Those would be high on my list too!

 

Here's my favorite mod, a 231 buick engine (this one should put out about 230hp), I put the first one in when the truck was almost new and was real happy. I've gone thru a few motors (the last broke the crank), but it's held up well for lots of miles.

 

heres one of mine. i have too many disc parking break and twin transfer adaptor
a custom low profile crossmember

this isnt on my 83 (yet) but its something i think is a really good mod
what do you guys think? i also put a little clear fuel filterin the fuel line to, just for s and giggles

 

what is it for what does it help to put a direct line of gas to the carb?
