A little more info about my build.

1986 Toyota 4Runner SR5 daily driver, I added nothing to it for the years I drove it, save for some 31x10.5 AT tires. It had the IFS and some really worn out shocks. Clocking over 315,000 miles on the odometer now, definitely not all on one motor! I think it had around 145K when I bought it used for $800. It has electric windows, electric doorlocks, the dashmounted extra gauge cluster, sunroof, and a backglass that had come off the regulator and the person I bought it off of had a bunch of folded up cardboard holding the back glass up, so it looked half ass normal. 5 speed manual trans. Tons of fun to drive and like a good Toyota, hard to stop no matter how it gets treated. Although it was a functioning 4wd, it sat so low from old sagging parts that it looked like a 2wd.

1985 Toyota 4runner. No motor, auto trans that I have, but have no need for. Body in fair to poor shape with rust and a thrashed interior. I found this gem in the SE a few years back and purchased it for $500. It was sporting some aftermarket leaf spring shackles, front and rear. Running 33" rubbers. I think it still had the factory leaf springs on it. Running factory steering equipment.

I gave the body a 2" lift when it got swapped.
