I'm going to get the title and pay for this today

I have a few questions though:
The current owner didn't specify if it was 4wd, do does anyone know how pleantiful the 2wd versions were?
How's the clutch replacement for these units? That's the only thing that really needs to be done to get it completely up and running.

 

Im pretty sure every 1st gen was 4x4..
dont qoute me on that tho.

 

Yeah, I just called the guy and he said it was 4x4. I'm so pumped. It's a screaming rebuilt 22R.

 

They never made 2wd 1st gen 4runner. What is the point of a 2wd "4"runner.

 

Nice Runner! clutch is not to bad, pull tran and trasfer case, slid them back and you got enough room to work, just make sure to do all your seal and bearings ect while your in there, i highly recomend the mc hd clutch kit, just put one in my runner about 2 weeks ago, and have your fly wheel resurfaced or buy one from mc for 100.00

 

invest in a cheap tranny jack adapter for your floor jack.. took me 2 weekends but it was the first major job i ever did!!!

i could do it again in 3-4 hours

 

nice find, i was gonna get a nice 4runner, but he said he might not be able to get the title so i went with my truck and got cheated out of one and now i allways cram friggin 3 peple in the truck when i go wheelin...

 

Thanks for all the feedback. I'm so pumped on this rig. 20 miles on the rebuilt 22. Headers. Magnaflow exhaust. New cams. Rebuilt carb/intake. Cragar sot 8s. So very very excited

 

take er easy till shes broken in at least, lol

 

I'll try to. I'm gonna throw a BL on it and maybe some add a leafs with BJ spacers then regear. It's good now though because I won't be stranded when I'm working on one of my trucks because I'll have the second to drive.
