IH8 MUD Noobie with a 86 Runner with a 22RE with 272,000 miles. 5.29's f&r, Detroit TT (f) and Lock Right (r), 33x12.5x15 MT Baja Claws on 15x8 AR Outlaw II's, MC front tube bumper w/ stinger, Smitty rear tube, nerf bars, and XRC8 winch. I have a 3" BL on it for now, but just got a 4"IFS lift and 3" Downey springs with a 2" TG shackle. Then the BL rear tube and nerf go. I am getting a MC rear bump, and some sliders. I also need some Syn winch line. Good to be here.

Here's my '92 I bought about a year ago for 1500. The PO had been told that the headgasket was blown, but in hindsight I don't think this was true. I did run "steel seal" through it and replaced the badly leaking waterpump, with new belts, hoses, tune up plus Rancho 5000 shocks. I also replaced the exhaust manifold as it was cracked. The PO had just put in a new clutch, plus it had recent brakes. Searching the receipts, I found it had a new headgasket, radiator, timing chain, etc. about 35K miles ago, by the original owner. It has about 178K on it, I'm guessing because the odometer went out a few months ago. It has almost zero rust and runs great. I've really appreciated having a pickup for my day job and construction/ handy man projects.

Man with just a minor lift and some 33's that thing would look REALLY good.

That is the twin to the first new truck I had ever purchased. 1992 I was on the line for Thomason Toyota, I think I paid the weekend ad price of $11,995.00 Had side vent windows, 4cyl, 5 speed, SRW, cass and a/c. Man I loved that truck!

I dubbed it `Blue Diamond`
My 1993 3.0 ltr Hilux Surf SSR-G that I`ve owned for 3 whole days.
All stock except a pan heater, remote starter and turbo timer. The remote starter and turbo timer are not working in synchronisity so far but I`m hoping that will be remedied shortly. Points to anyone who can identify where I posed the truck. I bought it site unseen and my test drive lasted 1500 kms which was an awesome way to get used to the RHD.
I`m looking forward to getting a lift eventually and some great winter tires.
Cheers

Here is the BONDO-TA

Since this is a trail rig, did not spend tons of time trying to fix every dent or weld in all new metal where the rusted out bed creases were. Instead, used Bondo and then painted the whole thing with Rustoleum and Tractor Paint!

When I bought it, it had the 5.29 gears, spool in the rear, the body lift and bobbed bed. Since then, added the 8274 Warn on the front, 4.7 Trail Gears in the tcase, Hi-Steer, ram assist, and a new front dshaft.

Future plans are Lock Right in the front and Chromo axles, and mounting 36" IROKs on a set of double beadlocks I have in the garage.

This is my 85 4Runner I picked up in Portland, OR from a dealership for $2,000. The first day they put it on the lot and it was mine by noon. It has the stock 22RE and the truck currently has 182,000 miles on it (152,000 when I bought it 5 years ago). The truck currently has a 2" Rancho suspension on it which I hate, but next week I'm putting a 2.5" OME suspension on it hoping for a better ride. Other than the 32" BFG MT's and the suspension upgrade, I don't really have many plans for it. Stored winters here in Michigan. Lot's of fun in the summer though...
