I am the middle of purchasing an 88 4Runner. Its auto with 150k. The lady that had it babied the hell outta it so I think its gotta nother 150 on it. Anyways, whats the first things I should look into buying for it??

 

Welcome to the board!

As for the 4Runner, buy what ever you want.
Sorry. just kidding.
If your rig has the 22R or RE engine, there is a plethora of aftermarket parts; turbo, headers, cylinder heads, stroker kits, etc. LC Engineering has all the parts you're looking for. Ask for Carl. He'll help you out.
You can lift your rig, you can lower your rig, you can out bigger tires on it, you can put smaller tires on it (why, though?). There are lots of things you can do to a 1st gen.

 

Yeh, I'm sticking with 31-32s and maybe a little better lift but nothing huge.. does anyone have any custom interiors, be it wood boxes instead of those ugly metal ones, or just anything intresting? Pix please I love the outside of it, but I want to juice it up some. I'm getting a Thule rack w/ lights (i work at a bike shop), a skid plate and better bumpers. The stock ones are chrome and true they look like the day it came from the boat but it isn't beafy enough... so pix please...

 

Welcome to the board. Is this going to be you first Toyota truck?

 

Yeh, everyone at my shop has one so they made me get one. Well no they took me off roading- and as a biker I got hook on it.

 

Put a lift then bigger tires and a locker. I would try to fit 33's.

 

Welcome I see you've been bitten by not only the toyota bug but the mod bug too. Look out! The list is endless on what you can do to a first gen. Seems to be alot more parts out there for them than the newer ones. Here's an extreme case 88 Bada$$ Runner Good luck with your purchase.

 

Big HEY to you!!!!
