Nice runner!!
I got a 91 pickup.

It's currently my daily driver my plans so far are to get some all terrain tires on her and a cb radio, also I plan on making some rock sliders. I would love to find one of the original tube bumpers and install that also. And possibly a Zuk mod because the rear leaf springs look like they are on their last leg and my buddy is going to give me the coil spring off of his parts jeep in a couple of days so that might happen soon. As this is my first truck and I'm new to the party I don't plan on pulling a engine swap or anything major. (And I don't have the funds to do anything that major)

haha im in the same boat,

i dont think an engine swap is in my future any time soon either but posibly a SAS. any ways sliders are a great thing to have on your rig (i think the best protection) and you can make them yourself. i built mine with my buddy and family ant i got to make them the way i wanted to. im also making a plate bumper for the rear as well now. here is a link to my build https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f199...-build-277032/

and an idea for the cb,
i cant see how muck space you have but i want to put mine under the center dash under the ash tray and lighter

Nice can't wait to see what happens with that bumper. Just make sure you don't make it too heavy, my buddy made one and I was helping him reinforce the mig welds with arc and stuff like that... But regardless the thickness of the metal and the weight added up and now his bronco sits a little lower in the front then the back (maybe a solid 2 inches) it's hard to tell since it's lifted quite a bit. As for the cb just be careful where you put it. I plan on cutting into the center console/arm rest thing and put it in near where my elbow would be, and have a mic sticking out of the box so it'll be nice and tucked away so no one with wandering eyes gets any ideas.

Very nice clean 4runner. Sometimes I wish I could find a clean one in stock form and just leave it alone and drive it everyday.

i hope it does not get to heavy it says its 74 lbs from the cad drawing with welds but who knows. i rented a plasma cutter and got all the pieces cut out and now they are just a pile sitting on the rest of the plate. if i dont get volunteered for anything tomorrow i will try to get some progress and pics up on my thread.

So I have been trying to figure out the wiring lately but the previous owner had a aftermarket audio system installed. Then they cut the after market wires and left me with a rats nest of wires and connectors.

So just an update I'm having issues with the car starting up reliably. It seems like it has difficulties starting up when it's been sitting out in the sun and it's really hot? But regardless it's been pestering me and I am going to be taking a look at the throttle assembly in a day or two

Just an update I have installed speakers and cleaned the carpets and re-installed those. I'm working on putting the back seats back in the car.
