Might be good to see if those cutout flares are hiding rust. That would be #3 on the list.

drive it for a while and see what you think needs modifying.
change the fluids and make sure the brakes work. make a list of anything that doesn't work.
record your mpg. then do a tune up and compare.

get an FSM!
welcome!from an 85 fsm std 171 psi
limit 142psi
diff of pressure between cylinders less than 14psi
Nice truck, wish my runner had the sunroof and SR5 center gauge cluster. In regards to 33's you will want to regear, I think you'll find the 4cyl even more anemic with that size tire. I have what amounts to a 30" tire on my 86 runner, I feel any larger and I would need to regear. One thing I would suggest is to do an EGR valve delete, send out the injectors for a good cleaning and clean/hot tank the upper and lower intake manifold, you will probably see some increased power and MPGs.
Nice truck and good luck!

Im trying to get all the parts for sas but toy parts in my area are getting hard to come by if I cant find parts ill probly put the money in gears it does pretty good with the tires that are on it cruises at 65 with no problem
First task is to learn the way of the FSM.
See the FSM for your year. Look in the FAQ thread for links to some online FSMs. FSM = Factory Service Manual. Most automakers publish them for all their vehicles. They are your best reference source for how things should work. They also have good troubleshooting sections for most parts of the truck.
My thoughts on mods. First lockers + regear for tire size. Then sliders. Next front bumper, and finally rear bumper.
If you knew the way of the FSM you would know this answer or atleast where to look it up.
