What breaks the most on 2nd Gens?

So here's the deal, I just got my motor pulled from a '91 4runner and swapped into a '90 4runner. The 91' is now only missing the motor\clutch\trans, everything else is there. I'll be parting everything I can out, but I'd like to keep parts that I will most likely be replaceing on my new truck after hard wheeling.

Any parts that come to mind worth keeping that may break on my new one?

keep the mass air sensor, third members, front brake calipers sieze up a lot with mud and water, radiators get messed up easily. and just other dumb little ÅÅÅÅ.....if you have the room to have it around

Yeah I wheel it hard, do a lot of mudding too. I was mainly concerned about selling off electronic parts, as mine may be shorted out some day. Any electronics I should keep? Coil\Ignitor? Fuse box? ECU?

Pull the idler arm and tie rods for sure. Steering on 86-95 Trucks and 4Runners is pretty weak. Pick up a pickle fork and keep em as spares.

Might as well take the front axles too...
