Bought this from a friend's dad who was the second owner. He had it from 96 till now. Trans was rebuilt along with clutch. New motor at 210,000 miles now has 223,000 miles. New paint job,bed swap ,bumpers front and rear along with all new weather stripping two years ago. Webber 32/36 carb and new exhaust. Wondering what you would do next for some ideas. Also going to be my daughter's first vehicle so can't go wild with it. Thanks

LCE headers and full exhaust to help it breath better is what I’m running on my 89.
Out af all modifications I have done to my truck is the one I feel is worth the most!
 
Nice score!!!! Besides general maintenance idk. What is she gonna use rig for?

I'm assuming you being a cruiserhead that you know some parts are best to go through dealer. I only use yota oil filters. Just replaced my aftermarket t=stat with a toy one and difference is significant, much more beef on toy one. Our valve train likes a bit of zinc in oil. But our syncs in tranny don't. Bushing in IFS spindles like to go dry, if you google "toyota spindle lubricator" will make greasing them easy. If you want more braking power swap out the single diaghram brake booster for a dual diaghram one off a later V6 truck, do the same with the master cylinder and front calipers, all are plug and play. Parking brake mechanism in drums likes to rust up if not used. If you bleed brakes don;t forget LPSV behind gas tank.

Bout all I can think of off the top of my head.
 
Thanks Muddpigg. That'll give us some things to change out while she's got her driving permit. Got a year till she'll be on her own driving. The truck will be her daily driver/ play toy. I've actually gotten out of the cruisers and into a 1st Gen Tundra. Thanks again all.
 
One thing I'd do is put a fuel pressure gauge and make sure that the fuel pressure is correct for a weber. Most just put them on and if I recall correctly the Weber prefers a lower fuel pressure.
 
My daughter wanted either a yota or sami. currently in upstate NY and they simply do not exist, damn road salt.

Thanks, Muddpigg. I'm not a fan of IFS but I'm not going to get around to SASing my '88 mini any time soon so I might as well know how to maintain the IFS ... Here's a nice DIY writeup. It looks like Slee sells a lube tool but it's marketed for the 100 series LC. Dunno if it would work with the mini IFS ...

Oh, and FWIW, I found an article (Toyota Owners mag, IIRC) re: oil filters. It appears Purolator makes the filters for Toy here in the US. I eyeballed the Purolator v. a genuine OEM filter and could detect no difference. I use Purolators on all my Toy trucks now. I use only OEM Toy thermostats too, which solved some cooling problem I had a while back.

Tally, the Weber looks like it's leaking gas. I may be in the minority here, but ... go back to the Aisin carb and stock air cleaner. Use a K&N or other oilable air filter. I wheeled my '85 minitruck up stupid steep hills (and it kept running), scary sidehills (never missed a beat), over mountains of rocks, through mud and water that stalled the engine because they soaked the dizzy, even with a boot on it ... about 18 years of continuous abuse before the carb finally needed a rebuild. Just sayin' ... And be glad no Sami's available for your daughter. I had a CJ-5 as my first, and short wheelbase, tall center of gravity, primitive steering and suspension... Not for beginners. Safety first ...
 
Puratator...huh. Had no idea.


Might wanna find skid plate for the front. Very common for them to be missing. Will help keep crap out of engine bay even if not used for offroading.

I think this is old news. I believe there was a time when it was true. I just went out and checked my stash of oil filters. DENSO baby.
