hey guys im a new member to these forums...i recently picked up a 89' toyota 4runner with on tiny tiny rust spot on a fender for only $675 i have been searching for a runner for about a year now...being a 17 year old money is low so i finally found this its im amazing condition but blown headgasket and bad timing chain/gears/chain cover but paint is georgous so i couldnt pass it up

I was a jeep guy....but all my buddys i go wheelin with have toyotas and i was the only one breakin s*** so i got sick of it and they all talked me into gettin a toyota lol it is currently stock but soon to have a 6 inch lift and lockers...and in a couple months hopefully a straight axle

i live in utah in the pleasant grove/lindon area....it is by orem and american fork...if any of you guys live around me and wanna go wheelin let me know ill be more than happy to go

ps sry if this is in the wrong spot lol was just gonna introduce myself

ps sorry they are so big....if a moderator would like to make them smaller that is fine i dont know how to lol. im a computer idiot
 
that thing is too nice....
 
wow that thing looks prestine! i would kind of hate to soo its first rock rash. i have a friend with an XJ that has 8 1/2 inches with 35's... pretty cool lookin jeep but definatelly interesting as an every day driver.
 
yeah nick both those jeeps are sittin at 10-11 inches the red one with 37" tires and white with 35" tires but the jeep axles cant handle those tires worth crap lol..so thats basicly why i bought a yota..but anywayz hahaha i would sell a jeep and use the money for the runner but it is almost in working order...just have to put everything back together....it was only another $400 to get the headgasket and timing bs all done.... now all i need to finish it is a ih8mud.com sticker and it will be complete. how do i go about getting one of those

***EDIT*** sorry for language didnt know the forums would block out that word loll
 
o and i dont know how to make the pictures smaller either... unfortunatelly i just realized that i dont have my pictures on this computer and my trcuk is havin the engine being rebuilt because it locked up on me on the way home from an expo... i dominated it though and had absolutely no body damage! i had a few jeep guys that were mad at me. i will post pics as soon as i can!

nice man....yeah ive learned that toyotas are extremely capable rigs even stock. cant wait to seep pics
 
just go to the IH8MUD store at the top of the page... VERY top of the page and order one. i have one on the back of my yota and everyone just laughs at it. its only because they don't know. o and i live in southern louisiana and thats kind of all we have. unless i want to drive atleast 100 miles north, which i do about once a year.
 
(see post 5) lets play "spot the one with a frame"!


:grinpimp:
 
Welcome to Mud :flipoff2: :D That's a nice Runner, throw a locker in the rear and run it! You found the right place, and no worries about the pictures. Glad to have you, but yeah, watch the language, we're family friendly here....

and yeah im so stoked to have a vehicle with a frame lol

mmm frothy! :beer:........why do I feel like a chocolate shake now? :hmm:




I meant to tell you before yotaelmo9, but its happened so many times to so many people. People more familiar with other brands tend to blame the vehicle if there repairs don't work. I don't know the extent of your mechanical knowledge and do not doubt it from what I've seen or heard so far. But I just want to make sure you're going to repair it proper, so it will serve you proper.
(however this comes across I mean no dis with it)



Are you going to have the head redone?

You sound like a mechanic/ fabricator.


(I'm a pilot, see my profile, about me :grinpimp:)




......and a big'ol DUH for me, I just looked at yers. :D
