i posted this in another forum too...

im going to look at it after work. its an 87 4runner 4cyl, header, mild cam new clutch.
5:13?(they are 5-somthing ratio cant remember) gears. with a rear locker

the sfa is a pro-comp kit that swapped in an 85 toy front axle, i didnt know pro comp did sfa kits. it has crossover steering and 35" swampers.

my plan is to daily drive this truck to work on days when i cant take the motorcycle 35 miles one way...70 total. could a truck like this handle the commute? i would probably keep the swampers for weekend use and get some 33" all terrains for commute. how reliable are these 87's with an SFA? should i step away now or give it a chance. i really want the older style though because of the removable top and they are hard to find in my neck of the woods unless they are all rotted. he says this one has no rust on frame and a little on the body...i could care less about the body damage just as long as i can get an inspection sticker.

thanks ahead of time for any advice guys
ill post an update after i go look at it and maybe even i pic

That rig is geared too low (5:29 probably) to be running 33's. Your gonna have to leave the 35's on it. I'm not sure about the streetability of a SAS'd 87 4runner .

If the SAS was done right you shouldn't have any problems. I agree on the gearing though. You'll be at a high RPM at highway speeds. Shouldn't hurt anything, but it'll get worse mileage.
