Hannahs 88 SR5 4RUNNER- Rebuilding the 3VZ

[twistedtoy92]

Well here she is: CLEAN 1988 SR5 4runner, V6, 5 speed, COLD R12 A/C, C/C, Tilt, Sunroof, Electric everything, stock Toyota stereo, Rear defrost, 170,xxx miles(had 165,xxx when we bought it for $1000).

I JUST installed a 4'' Trailmaster IFS lift and threw on my BFG 32x11.5x15 tires for her graduation present, I also have the Marlin SUPER HD 2100 Clutch and a new flywheel I'm installing next week, then we ordered 33x12.50x16 BFG KM2's and blacked out aluminum wheels to throw on it    I also installed new front pads and rotors, has new Warn lockouts (soon to be replaced with Aisins), full tune up and we are going to pull both heads and get the upgrade headgaskets, new water pump, timing set, all gaskets and have the heads machined. Its really a nice rig and a pleasure to drive. Even with my foot in it CONSTANTLY it gets 19 mpg...... not too shabby...... We are planning on getting a set of either Marlin or Allpro 4'' leafs for the rear as the rear blocks will not satisfy me for very long....     So here are a few pics, I gave it to her tonight after graduation (I told her the past few days I was doing the clutch   ) and she Loved it..... She's very happy and thats what matters the most to me    

Here are a few pics:







Test fit: 32'' BFGS





On 32''s and 4'' lift

What a awesome grad present. She should be happy.  Thats a clean runner to. Tell her to keep it tire side down.

[twistedtoy92]

She drives like a grandma..... excluding my grandma

Is that good or bad? so you her brother? grad from hs or college?

[twistedtoy92]

I'm her man.... From highschool.... been together for 9 months.... She supports my wheeling/toyota habits

Actually SHE paid for it but I do all the work and have put my fair share of money into it to get it how SHE wants it..... 
Im sad cuz I have to drive the "twinky" now  (1981 2wd yota)

cool grad present good lift and tire combo

Thanks! It was all her idea.... I actually told her to leave it stock but thats what the LADY wanted....

DO NOT, i repeat, DO NOT let go of this girl!!          ha ha seriously though!
Great gift! Love that paint scheme, dont see it too much. thats what was on my old runner RIP     

[minicrawlin]

sweet shop BTW!         

[twistedtoy92]

Future plans after the rear leafs and stuff mentioned above are:

-Marlin rear bumper
-Marlin front bumper
-Marlin rock sliders


Other than these three things that should be about all....... Perfect for a daily driver 

[twistedtoy92]

sweet shop BTW!         

Thanks, thats where I work.... we have a total of 11 or 12 bays! My boss lets me go in WHENEVER I want too since I have keys and my own security code...... its a nice bonus

[twistedtoy92]

[Rocksurfer]

So in the "Your Truck With Your Woman" thread do you stand next to her truck in a bikini or does she, I'm so confused?

[twistedtoy92]

thats a good question.... but I doubt anyone wants to see me standing next to a nice runner in a banana hammick....    Or do they? Im confused

[pumkin toy]

thats a good question.... but I doubt anyone wants to see me standing next to a nice runner in a banana hammick....    Or do they? Im confused

Uh there is no confusion.... we do NOT want to see you in your   hammick!  runner is lookin good!

[twistedtoy92]

Thanks for clearing that up!   Well I scored all new steering for the front end and all the ifs junk from my buddies SAS.... Plus 1 1/2'' ball joint spacers to add when we do the Marlin 5'' rear suspension

Hannah wants to drop a supra engine in instead of a 3.4 when the time comes...... Long travel IFS Runner with a Supra engine?? mmmmmmmmm

2.5 Twin 1JZ on TC Long Travel! OH SHITTTTT

[twistedtoy92]

We think it sounds like a good idea 

[twistedtoy92]

we would most likely go with a 2jz with one turbo... or twin..... itll be a year or two before she gathers up the parts.... Whatever we go with will most likely be the same setup as my 92 except mine will have more balls for the insane ride!  That way we can have alot of spares for both setups  

On another good note I am starting to sell my heeler puppies and I dumped some more junk... Plus the $5 raise helped out so I'll be ordering the head for my runner SOON!

Hannahs new meats will be in on wednesday too! 

[THK Matt]

try and get a EURO or North American version of the 2JZGTE made from Sept 97 and up. they are the most powerful 2JZGTE's with over 400hp and 391 ft lbs from the factory

[twistedtoy92]

Out with the old FACTORY clutch.....



In with the Marlin Super Heavy Duty 2100 clutch and new flywheel......



And last but not least.... Hannahs new 33' KM2s and 16'' Raceline Raptor wheels.....

[THK Matt]

dAMN!! that thing looks trick dude. nice 4runner and nice lookin girl!
