This is my first post, I've been lurking for a couple months and finally got a 4runner last week!
It's a 1987 22re Sr5 5-speed. 210K on the Body I think... The odometer is broken so just going off the PO.
Let me know what you guys think!

that rig make me want to sit on a corn cob! i am not gay but i would do dirty things to that thing! man i would finger bang the ˟˟˟˟ outta that thing. i love mine! those look like 32 or 33s it on also what kind of lift do you have on it.

 

Yeah man I agree that thing is tits! I am a fan of the older models. As long as it runs good I wouldn't worry about the mileage, every ride can and needs to be fixed/maintained at some point in it's life. I am fairly new myself but welcome.

 

That is one of the FUNNIEST things I've ever heard on here!!!

I hate to say this, but I think it's kind of an allure that we first-gen 4Runners have...the "requirement" to fix things that just aren't right on our rigs. There will always be some kind of tinkering on our trucks.

Nice 'Runner by the way!

 

yea ,nice 4runner man .. i see your first mod was removing the top good luck with it man .

 

Thanks guys! I'm really excited about the new rig and I cant wait to make it my own, the PO didn't know too many details but as far as i can tell its got 1, maybe 2 inches of body lift. It may also have the torsion bars cranked, but i dont know how to check. Any suggestions?

 

my rim wants to be pounded by that thing ooooooooooooooo baby

 

GROSS.

 

Looks great! The only thing I would change is ditching the chrome rear bumper for a black one

 

That's exactly what I was thinking, drmix. It would just look better all black!

 

This is my understanding and quick visual check, I could be wrong:

Look at the CV Half Shaft angle, if they are pointing upward from Axle(tire) to Differential, torsion bars are cranked. If they are level, torsion bar isnt cranked.

See in picture, how the picture, the angle of the CV shaft is pointing upward from tire to center of truck.

 

Thanks alot hgill, It looks to me like my torsion bars are not cranked, but by no means am I an expert, so here you guys go. This is my right front tire looking from the back. (sorry about the bad picture)

 

On a different note, I recently purchased a 1200w constant/2400w peak inverter for my 4runner. I wanted a location that was well ventilated, yet still out of sight. These two requirements seemed to contradict each other, until my buddy thought to mount the inverter on the door of my rear cabinet, instead of inside of it.









As I will only be using it while stopped, the ventilation will be perfect, I also put nuts between the wood and the inverter in the hopes of keeping it even cooler. Unfortunately, the biggest wire I had was 8 gauge, so I will be ordering some #4 along with an 80 amp fuse soon. Let me know what you think!

 

That looks great! You have my rims I think

My first mod 9 years ago was taking the top off the day I bought it.

Looks awesome!! I had those headlight covers too but they rusted and were crap :/

 

Lets go wheelin!

 

i have a rear smitty built black that i dont need layin around! too bad you live in oregon..i do just live in washington though haha. road trip?!

 

Yeah Philbert, when I put my new h4's in I left the headlight covers off. And northbend, if there's a black bumper shortage down here, a road trip might be worth it!

 

haha well we could make a wheelin trip out of it and hit up some spots around here! i got no need for the bumper since im getting custom armour all around this weekend

 

If i'm ever up in Washington i'll hit you up. Your truck is NICE!

 

thanks man! its my dream truck. im lovin it. you ever heard of an led dash light swap? that and some hids would look killer on your runner! im workin on doin that dash swap in mine.
