well here is the latest project in the works. I will continue to update this thread as things progress. I picked her up last weekend, big thanks to my buddy Jay for driving me down there to pick it up! I drove it home 2 hours from Maryland it and rode pretty decent up to 60 mph. The frame is in great shape but the interior is beat up andneeds a little work.
The plan is to fix up the inside a bit while collecting parts for the SAS. The fuel gauge, e-brake, and 4wd light aren't working and the back window won't go down on its own.
Specs
1989 4runner
22re 5 speed 189k miles
Manual hubs
Mucho bueno stereo tape deck
Bone stock except for a bull bar (removed)
The day I brought her home
Snowed on her already
The previous owner booger welded the bull bar right to the frame so I chopped that off, looks alot better already
Picked up an inclinometer and SR5 gauge cluster from a dude parting one out by me. Need to wait for the new oil sender to get ordered from the local vato zone before I swap it out.
Future plans:
Fix the back window and rest of interior
Check the timing chain/install new metal guides if needed
SAS ideas:
FZJ80 front axle with RUF
Ruffstuff or diamond FZJ80 width rear axle
Cheby 63 swap for the rear
Hydro assist
dual cases
lockers of sort
big ass tires
cool ass bumpers
Stay tuned. Look forward to some of your guys input as I'm a newb when it comes to these older rigs and I know you all got some bad ass ones already
