Dammit now you've got me looking at toy Toyota's on ebay

 

That's such a good looking truck!

 

My 88 4Runner painted Toyota Pyrite Mica (4T3) with a 5.3

 

Just picked up this 1990 SR5 4Runner, 3.0, 4x4 a few weeks ago. 249,000. Body and interior in great condition and engine looks well taken care of for a 30 year old vehicle, but want to get everything up to its best working order so it can be a fun/light second driver and weekend truck. My first 4Runner and 2nd Toyota truck. Formerly owned a 2012 2wd Tacoma. So new territory here with a classic truck.

 

pretty much stock besides the head unit and the shell.

 

Nice clean truck, what gears in rear end.

 

I looked through both of these bins and didn't find your 4Runner once.... LOL

 

I drive 4runner 1990 whit only 182 kilo .

Some IFS flex. All the hard work paying off! Sorry about quality. It's a zoomed 8n cropped image from a video still. Lol

 

That's some serious movement for a Gen2,given they dont really flex from factory!

Was looking at mine couple of days back. My fronts barely compress up into the wheel well compared to this. What have you done up front?

Mine:


Your tyre seems to get past the body rub strip. Are they 33s as well?

 

Soften suspension a little. 1.5 inch spacer lift. and cut the bump stops to about 1/2 inch. 1.185 inche wheel spacers.
thats it.

 

How are CV holding up?

​I keep flipping on the idea of BJ spacers as dont like the idea of increased CV angles, having broken one before. Did you drop diff as well?

The droop on the far side is huge.

 

Key is to get OEM rebuilt or OEM new cvs. Everyone else uses crap materials. Thats said, if you relax the suspension you reduce your lift about 1/2". This way you are an inch taller and softer which allows for more flex. Never broke a CV. I installed manual hubs so CVs dont spin unless im im offroading.

All of this info is on the forum, don't want to get carried away in the pics thread . Check out my and other's builds. See signature below.

Oh and sorry, totally forgot. No sway bars.
