Feel free to post on this thread as it is just in the 86-95 Trucks & 4Runners section.


Well my first toyota ever was a beat up (but running strong) 1987 4Runner. picture:



After I had that for about 8 months i decided i wanted something else. Something a little nicer, maybe a bit more power, but still a 4Runner. so i started looking and it took me forever but i finally found the perfect 4Runner for me. A 1988 Toyota 4Runner, 3.0 5sp. I traveled from Bloomington, Illinois (my home town) to Madison, Wisonsin to pick her up.

Pictures of when i picked it up:




More pictures Here in the original thread.

Now here are some pictures just after having it an hour at my house. i took the running boards off and changed the wheels and tires:



Since i have bought it i have changed the cd deck to a JVC unit. Highflow cat, and flopro muffler, new stock black bumper (front), shift knob, nothing special.

Just a few days ago i ordered my NEW rims and tires. the rims are 15x8 Rock Crawlers, and the tires are 31x10.5 Kuhmo M/Ts.

Heres some pics of how it sits not...





Much better in my opinion. The tires do very good in the mud. I am very pleased with how everything came out.

It now has just under 200,000 miles and runs very good.

 

looks good the 3.0 anit a bad motor just keep up on the maintenance

 

Those tires look really good; do they have good road manners? How are they off-road? In mud? What was the cost? BTW, I love those models, I wish I had one like that =(

 

These tires are a very good all round tire IMO. they hum on the road but what m/t doesnt? they are real nice in the mud also. way better then my bfg a/ts were.

ill try and post some video and pics from today soon...

 

Thanks! I'm looking at getting new tires/wheels this summer along with my lift, and im curious what to get as far as a M/T goes.

so when you changed from the SR5 rims to the stock steel rims were you on drugs??? cuz im pretty sure that those steel rims are the ugliest thing toyota has ever made aside from the 3rd gen 4runner.

man i probably upseted a few people with that.

 

from lookin at the pics again i cant really tell if those are stock rims.... o well.... looks better now though. i love 1st gens. damn the man who made them so hard to find.

 

i am not sure what you are talking about? when i changed from SR5 rims, i changed to after market centerline aluminum rims, and now i have the rockcrawlers...

 

yea i saw that from the pic on the 87. but the pic of the 88 looks like those ugle steel toyota stock rims. but i figured you probably put on the rims from the other truck. they look like it anyway. the pic was deceving
