Hey everyone. Just bought a '93 4runner SR5 last night. 3.0 5spd. This is my first Toyota, I have been driving Fords since I was 16 (21 now) and also the first truck I have owned. I do welding and fabrication as well as fiberglass fabrication so this won't stay stock long. My buddies have been trying to convince me to get an offroad rig since highschool and I finally gave in lol. Like I need another project.. The exterior needs a little bit of work. The rear fenders have rusted away though not too bad consindering its age and being in VT. The rear bumper has some issues going on but I haven't looked to see just what is wrong yet, it is not sitting straight. Other than that the exterior is in decent shape for a $600 truck in this area. And the frame and underbody is in great shape. She's got 180k on her with a new clutch just recently put in. The engine runs smooth as can be and seemed to be running strong on the drive home.
Here is the only pic of the outside I have atm. I'll take a few more when I wash it or the rain does it for me
The red sexcort in the back is my current winter beater/dd
I didn't even realize it had nice polished aluminum wheels until I got it home and noticed it under the mud LOL. Anyways, I spent most of today vacuuming and cleaning the interior. It was not a pretty sight when I got it. I brought it back to life and it looks pretty good except for the stained factory floor mats which will be replaced with rubber mats.
It has many power options, AC, cruise control, electric windows & locks, electric mirrors, electric sunroof, CD and cassette player, tilt wheel, rear climate control, and i believe it has ABS. I'll be giving it some TLC that it needs soon. The exhaust is cracked right at the muffler so I'm thinking of just making up an entire new one from the manifolds back. And probably end up making an intake for it I have a bunch of aluminum pipe left over from my turbo setup in my car. I was thinking of fabricating a set of headers for it but it looks like a real pita to get to so thats undecided.
Here's a few pics of my other project that I've spent way to much money on. Sleepers are too much fun though.
