This weekend the wife and i went and picked up this 91 4Runner. Currently I drive a 06 Jetta TDI but it has had electrical issues and cost us way to much in repairs, I wanted to get something I could work on myself and was 4wd. We had a 93 XJ and while I could work on it, it needed a lot and just didn't feel right, so i sold it and promptly bought this 4Runner.
specs:
1991 4Runner
22RE
5-speed
3" (or 4) lift
33" tires
4.88 gears
ARB locker in rear but needs a compressor (have not verified locker yet)
sun roof
I had planned on putting a header in it and a new radiator but it already has a Doug Thorley header and a new radiator in it. So i will catch it up on maintenance with a full tune up, replace all the hoses, change all fluids, verify the locker and if so add a compressor, add dual batteries (more than likely in a custom box where the spare is currently located), tire carrier rear bumper, winch/bumper front, big 3 upgrade, higher output alternator.
planning on repairing this and getting some seat covers
back seats in good shape
onto the rust spots, while its not horrible, they do need addressed
somebody has already been into the AFM, and there are 3 different types of fasteners loosely holding it together and the piping is cobbled together, i am going to get a cold air intake and build a heat shield for it.
new radiator
i am not surprised it has a power steering leak, even though it is not directly coming from right here
and i thought this was mud caked on until i took my knife to it and yup, more rust. so far it looks like the frame rust is isolated to the front, i need to look at the frame again but the rest looked ok. so i am going to hit it with a wire wheel, cut as needed and weld in some new steel.
