is it my new lift, but i think the rear is sagging? (i realy could be wrong)

 

[donnyr_az]

probably because ppl just add a 2" lift to the back to accommodate for the factory sag

 

[darkness]

yeah maybe but i know mine was higher in the back than the front but your seems to be lower in the back than the front and thats more than 2 inches of lift

sick dude! im getting the same thing just a 92, tell me how it is. mine is gonna be the same color. i wanna get a tuff country 4" lift, 33" BFG Mudders, and a sick system in mine!(prob a kicker 15" sub and an alpine deck)

 

[darkness]

i can tell you they are great

 

[dkurtz42]

donny's got it. Before the lift the sag on this thing was just about riding the back tire. It looks even typically. This is parked on a pretty steep incline, that might be giving it the appearance of a little read end sag. Keep in mind, its only a 2" lift.

Brewster. I know a lot of folks say the 3.0 V-6 is the worst engine Toyota has made (as opposed to the 22R/22RE/3.4V6) but I've had nothing but luck with the 3.0. It is pretty underpowered, but since I use the truck as a commuter, all I do is get it to 55 and cruise. I'll hit 20+mpg in the summer. If you get 33's she'll have enough torque to get you by on the trail, but don't expect her to be a dragster on the street. The factory sound system is TERRIBLE. You'll need new everything if you really want good sound, head unit, all speakers...

I love this truck. I have a '98 too and I just keep driving this one...

 

[Mr Brewster]

yea sounds good, well i dont have it yet so idk if it is the 3.0, but i do know it is a v6, is the 3.0 the stock engine for a 92?

 

[dkurtz42]

Yeah, the 2nd Generation had a 3.0 liter V-6 3ZE something or other. For the 3rd generation the switched to a 3.4L V-6. The 2nd Generation 3.0s all had a head gasket recall which Toyota fixed for free for years and years. You might want to ask who you are buying from to make sure that the head gasket has been replaced. (99% chance it has if its still alive at this point). My Toyota mechanic claims that even the 3.0 V6 should last 250-300K with regular maintenance. I'm at 200,500 right now adding 72 miles a day. It burns a little oil, but not even enough to have to add any between oil changes. I also see a very very slow power steering fluid leak, a drop or two a week. Not worth fixing...

Other then the rims it looks just like mine, color and all.

 

[grousehunter 61]

try a little bigger.

I think your seeing the higher fender cuts up front. Measure where the green lines are to see how much of a lean if any.

 

[Diver brian]

Awesome. Love owning a rig that long

 

[NINNINMAN]

Looks really nice! I got a 95 with way to much rear sag! (fixing soon)

 

[diggitydan]

I found a 93 with 113k, everything works, power windows, and the guy already had the head gasket recall from toyota done

 

[broad.named.maude]

Nice!

It could be an optical illusion due to the grade of the driveway.

I just got my '93 SR5 but it sports 17" rims from a new model 4Runner with 32" radials.

Looking for a front skid plate cuz it did not come with one.
