I have a 91 and I love it. The engine is a dog, but got it with 0 rust and 150k with everything working. I added 285/85/17 wheels and tires with a 2.5" lift.
I hear a lot of complaints about this particular year and want to see what solutions there are for overcoming them easily and would like your recommendations.
1. Non full floating rear axle. Can I swap in a later model pretty easily? Did the later models have rear disks?
2. Small brakes. I have 17" wheels, can I swap in a later model system or a Power Stop system? Do I need to swap the master cylinder as well?
3. 3FE is slow. I will regear to 4:88 and add ARB air lockers so it is back to factory slow. When it dies, if ever, I'll do a swap.
Any other negatives about this year that can be overcome without a mountain of effort? Again, I love the truck, but looking to upgrade where possible.
