Topic: i dont know if i should buy this? 1991 sas runner

[bajabooster]

yea i seen that runner i love it but he lives way to far away...ill drive if its close like cali,colorado navada or AZ

[Tallchevy]

Infernal, this has the Disgrace & your Fontuky fab threads all over it  Did you have something to do with this rig 

[89toy]

cool thanks guys i see why....why do i want a solid axel? same reason anybody would its a must for articulation and a locker, you snap axels left and right with ifs with a locker .

  I realize why somebody would want an SAS...just curious why you would?  If you have the size tire you were looking at (the runner you were checkin' out) you will still break axle's left and right with a toy solid axle (if they are stock birfields).  Good choice on not wanting it anymore (if it is even for sale anymore)...I'm checkin' out some of the forums looking for a runner for you...hopefully somethin' pops up close to NM.

now you got it....the price still seems a bit high but you can probably talk him down some 

[89toy]

seriously...I think yes...did you notice he dropped the price?  6500...seems good to me...you can always add a front locker later.  You dead set on the 2nd gen body style?

[89toy]

If your not dead set on that body style... http://board.marlincrawler.com/index.php?topic=36054.0  I was going to try and buy this one if my truck would ever sell.  Both are in NC 

[bajabooster [OP]]

im not dead set i just like the 2nd gens and his is clean i like that 85 but still your so far away too...really clean interior though

Not worth it.  It's not even locked in the fron and has a 3.0.

i like the power from the v6..2nd gen runner go for that much stock from what i see here in new mexico..

[46&2]

Yeah man I would recommend looking at the classifieds on here and on pirate4x4.com. For that price you can get a well built, quality truck. That thing is just a disaster waiting to happen. Even with a toyota solid axle as soon as you took that 4runner out on the trail you would bust your front end in minutes. Steering, axleshafts, birfs, that 4runner has way too many weak links. Buy a trail rig or a stocker and build it up yourself. That thing is not worth the time or the effort. its a piece of crap.

[bajabooster [OP]]

thanks for all the help...im really diggin the runner from NC on pirate

Don't count on a huge amount of power from the 3.0 v6.  Its an ok motor, but if you're looking for v6 power, you should look for a 4.3 swap, or a 3.4 swap.  I'd guess a 22re would struggle in a runner, due to the extra weight over a pickup, but that 6 is more like a strong 4 cyl.  Not to mention they are EXTREMELY finicky when it comes to heat.  If  you take care of it though, the 3.0 will last. You can't be bombing it though mud or anything though, that'll kill it quick.

thats just a show truck with all the shocks and chrome
