I no theres something like that. My old boss had them in his jeep. I don't know what they were so i guess im not much help except to encourage you to keep looking. I'd do suspension and maybe jus find some seats in better condition out of another 4runner.

 

Memory foam...ahhh, that makes me feel comfortable just thinking about it.

Also, after driving a couple hundred miles this weekend. I think cruise control would be something I wouldn't mind spending some money on. My left leg was killing me.....

 

I think I will end up doing the suspension first. It really rides like crap. I can wait on the seats and just drive the ranger more often.

 

Do you plan on doing any rockcrawling?

 

No (my message is to short, this makes it long enough)

 

Just wondered if you knew about or considered this as an option for your suspension.

I spent a grand total of $45 to do it, and I'm willing to bet it's better in function and durability than a new set of leafs. I think some like to poo-poo the idea. I don't know.....maybe it doesn't "look" so hot. I think it looks pretty neat, myself. As far as comfort, well maybe it's not as soft as grandma's towncar, but it's pretty damn nice....especially with a good set of shocks and a bushing replacement. I've hauled 1000lbs-1600lbs several times over the course of a few months and still maintain the same ride height....1/2" higher in the rear, almost imperceptible really. Zuk sold me a pair of coils off the front of a 200? Jeep TJ and I found the load rating to be just perfect for the application. If you don't haul any considerable weight, maybe something a little lighter duty would be better. But, consider how heavy the front end of a Jeep is......

So, I just thought I'd mention it. It'd save some money for other things you'd want to do.

BTW, probably not the "desired" mod for crawling....which is why I asked.

 

I've seen that before....I'm weary about it. The OME springs aren't that expensive.

 

If OME is what you want then it's what you want. But, what are you leary (wary...weary, whatever..hehe) about?

 

I tried leary, but it came up as a misspelled word and suggested I either capitalize it, or replace it with weary.....Idk.

After reading that other thread, I don't think it's a good option for me.

 

Man of few words? That's kind of vague as I don't what thread you're talking about. However, I'm just curious. So, no need to satisfy curiosity if you don't want to.

Oh, because it's spelled "leery"....

 

I wonder what Leary is....a name?

 

Timothy ring a bell?

 

no, Now that I think about it Dennis does.

 

Haha...yeah, that would the actor "Dennis Leary". Timothy Leary would be from the generation before ours. Big time experimentation with the world of psychadelics. In fact, the LSD guru of the 60's. Kind interesting, but kinda not.

 

that's too bad, i would go with a rear locker. u can get an aussie for less than half your budjet. best mod!!!!!

 

Nothing but ARB for me. None of that cheap crap.

 

OK

 

sounds like u spent too much for your locker? go aussie!!

 

This is a good thread because I was wondering where to start on my 88 4Runner,3Lv6(slow) SR5 w/ A/T. Who does the 3.4L swaps? how easy is it to do? I am thinking you need a wrecked one first so all the parts are there. Anyways, I am starting with rear susp. I figure with the sag I have, 3" should bring it back to normal, plus some good shocks. Who likes OME and how do you buy it (links, please)? Anyone have any other faves for leafs, Downey, etc? I've lived in Reno, Nv for 3 years now, just getting into this thing, plus it's my first Toyota. Thanks, Phil

 

I'm getting the OME set up for my suspension. I'm getting it through my local 4x4 shop because that's the best deal I've found.

basically the kit here:

4 shocks, T-bars, Steering stabilizer and rear springs

As far as the 3.4 swap, that's cool and all, but I personally would be much more interested in a diesel swap.
