slosurfer's '93 4runner

[slosurfer]

Here is my '93 4Runner 3.0L auto, tow pkg., sunroof, and power everything. I bought her in the spring of '03 with 64,000 miles. She was basically just a grocery getter in Santa Barbara. She now has 106,000 miles on her. Still the grocery getter, but also a whole lot more.  We have taken her all the way up to Vancouver Island and this summer all the way to northern Minnesota. Now on to the pics:

holy crap, looks just like my 4runner. excpet mines is white and i have f/r bumpers. i'd suggest doing armor and a rear locker first. those things are WAY more inportant than exhaust and headers. also, wait til after you SAS to do exhasut and gears. the exhaust goes right where the rear leaf springs go and you'll have to redo it and setting up front gears would be a waste of money if you are going to a solid front axle.

Thanks for the heads up.  I have some Stubbs Deluxe SKO sliders sitting in the garage right now and am taking a welding class so hopefully I will be making f/r bumpers soon.   I agree about your order,  I actually have a 5.29 front diff also in my garage to throw in the front when I regear and lock the rear (I have the factory 4.88's so I need a whole different rear third to regear).  Should hold me over till I SAS.  NIce to know about the exhaust, although I will only get a new one when the original system falls off.  I am glad you told me that just in case I need a new one before the SAS.  Really the only reason I want headers is to get rid of the factory crossover that superheats the #6 cylinder.

What kind of bumpers do you have?

i made my own F/R bumpers.
