I plan on selling it. It's got 160ish on it, has been rebuilt within the last 20k, and was bored 20 over. It just needs a head gasket, and whatever I need for the swap. I'm the 3rd owner by the way.

I figured i'd post some pics. i've been here for a couple of months and already the truck has gone through some mods.
When i bought it:
Emerald greenish color. Like every other yota that is exposed to salt, the bed rusted out pretty bad. i found one off of a 2wd that was perfect!
took a wire brush to everything on the frame i could reach then applied POR15 to pretty much everything i could hit it with.
Off with the factory color, and away with the stock wheels/tires! 11 cans later...
american racing outlaw 2's with Kuhmo road venture a/t 31x10.50
This is my first 4x4 and im already enjoying it. tryin to save up to life it 3-4 inches and then some lockers!

I haven't done much work in it since I got it, but I have plans to build a rear bumper and sliders. I'm looking into getting a Badlands bumper for up front. For suspension I'm going to go with Bilsteins all for corners and a BJ lift up front, and Chevy springs in the rear.
j/k

Picked up this 86 4runner about 99% rust free (RARE in Iowa). Gutted it, sprayed bedliner inside and along the lowers. Built a grille/bumper and rear bumper, threw on some tires and rims...
New timing chain, head and cam from Engnbldr, Thorley header, swapped the battery to the driver's side and shortened up the intake, balanced the injectors and cleaned it up a bit too.
Have some 63" Chevy leaf packs so I'll be putting those in sometime and get rid of the wounded AAL's that are in there.

I love those bumpers. How much would it cost to make another pair? Rear bumper looks good, but what about the front one without the "grille" peice, just the bottom part with a stinger on it? I may have to start saving for one of those!
