ToyoTech559's 1988 4Runner Long Travel Build-Up Thread
 
Parents owned this 88 runner since new. dad wanted to have every option possible so this runner is fully loaded. i got this last year cuz they upgraded and now i have added to my collection
it has 224749 current miles on it. i recently did a timing belt, water pump. cam seals, crank seal, drive belts, valve cover gaskets, plenum gasket, and put some 32s. im slowly repairing anything broken and doing minor mods to make it look and drive the way i want. mainly be used to go on trials and the snow. few dents and dings here and there but the passenger door and side was due to a delivery truck backing up into it.

unmolested toyota are really hard to find! what are your plans?

ToyoTech559 02-18-2011 09:45 PM

thanks guys. im looking at doing the zuk mod or OME lift kit. the runner wont get much mods as im currently putting most my money on the 82 4x4 you see in red 1st.
i added those 32s today but i might color match the wheels with the truck (cream white) or a gloss black to match my truck's wheels
i also have downy headers that i installed last year. CARB legal and passed last year with them.
i know in 88 they stopped putting those inclinometer so i got lucky and picked up a mint colored matched one for $50 shipped

that is a CLEAN cab/dash set up...wow!

What's the story on the "double DIN" radio - is that OEM?

the ZUK mod is pretty easy (hell, I could do it...), and you ARE sagging in the back there :)

$70 for the springs/shipping, plus half a day of your time. Get an angle grinder/cutter, bottle jack, LARGE jack stands, and socket set, and you're good!

ToyoTech559 02-19-2011 02:31 PM

the stereo system is OEM and is the premium stereo upgrade. never noticed the sag with the factory wheels but i can see it better now and zuk is a must lol

we had it garaged most of its life. when it was outside, we had a dash cover. the interior is pretty mint but the seats, carpet and fabrics needs a cleaning.

Had the same runner sorry to let it go.

Wow, nice 4Runner. I wish my dad would have gave me his 64 Buick Riviera instead of selling it. Although I would have been 18 and it had a 401 nailhead v8, that would have been a bad combination. I like seeing white 4Runners.

ToyoTech559 02-22-2011 08:29 PM

thanks guys. i need to figure out which spring i need to order to even out the ride

The snow pictures looks good!!!

ToyoTech559 02-27-2011 09:43 PM

been dying to go drive int he snow. i have always had lowered cars my entire life and now i just got into 4x4. thinking back, wish i didnt get the s2000 and waited to get an all white FJ trail edition. guess older toyotas will have to do since the new stuff just isnt that great anymore if new recalls every week lol

87hillbillyoter 02-27-2011 09:47 PM

where are those snow pics taken at? looks familiar

ToyoTech559 02-27-2011 09:48 PM

drove up to shaver and than to china peak (sierra summit)

87hillbillyoter 02-27-2011 09:53 PM

ToyoTech559 02-27-2011 10:15 PM
