been a busy year and haven't even gotten to the bodywork yet lol
previous owner didn't do ˟˟˟˟ on this thing, but that's what I get for impulse buying a suspiciously cheap 4runner on ebay sight unseen lol. Canceled my Bronco reservation for this instead and have been loving it! Wouldn't trade it for anything.

My New 1992 V6 5spd as of August 2021. Before and After. 3rd Owner, very little rust but lots of cleaning to do! 3" 4crawler body lift, Marlin tube bumper, oem wheels on 33"x9.5 Superswampers. 4.88 re-gear with rear spartan locker, manual locking hub conversion.
My original owner 1992 4cyl/5spd 70k miles serviced only by me or Toyota with original paint, no rust, never wrecked baby got T-Boned at the RF wheel. Bummer.
Bought this from an old friend for a winter project. Po said he was tired of putting money into it and hadn't run in 2 years. Trailered it home and had it running in a couple hours. Didn't run good but it had a pulse, and quickly turned into my daily driver.
