I never thought about that, but now that you mention it, it does make sense. This truck is not going to be my daily driver by any stretch, (I have a tundra for that) but I do want it to be street legal and "semi" comfortable.... I guess you cant have it all...

I can see it in my head too, and I cant wait to get it started I love the 6.0! it can handle so much power and its cheap!! I get what your saying and I would not want to do this in a completely stock 4runner, but I plan on running a pretty nice roll cage to keep me safe. I love the 1uz, I am...

I just joined here, and I absolutely love seeing all of these old first gens!! I have already owned 3 toyotas, and I loved/love every one of them. My first truck was a 89 4runner with the 3.0/auto, loved the truck, hated the engine/trans combo. Sold it. Clean Dirty Second was a 90 22re, 5...
