I would like to introduce you to my new 88

I have decided on an 88 4runner with 88k original miles. 5-speed, 22re, swapped in SR5 gauages, new BFGs, 94 alloys, top has NEVER been removed.

Comes with an extra short block, another motor, engine gasket kit, etc. I have enough parts to build another motor.

Barry, bsmi16490, is a great guy and as straight up as they come. Can't wait to get it in my posession on Tuesday or Wednesday.

imageshack is being strange, so no picks now--I can e-mail them if someone wants to host them.

Very excited about the new addition.

The list of new/ replaced parts is rather extensive

umm yes, but not right now.

I will slowly assembly parts. First I need an axle and I will start from there. For now, just my DD.

pics should be up shortly.

I am very excited about the 4rs future.

this one will be done right the first time.
Not going to do anything to the suspensio (aside from new shocks) until I SAS. It just isn't worth it---to me.

I have redone things over and over on the 99.

I have done a ton or reading and have a lot more to learn about setting this one up right.

It will cost some $$$$ to get it the way I want, but so long as I take my time this one should come out lookin' GREAT.

---Brian, I know you love the color!!! I actually like it and whatever.

For an 18 year old rig, this one is CLEAN. Plus I have emough parts to build almost 2 complete motors, and extra w56, gaskets and tranny

As soon as it is in my posession it will be like Christmas
