I have just got an 88 toy 4runner. I have been working on the body got a little rust. I am wanting to make it a good crawler but still an everyday driver, i am looking for good ideas any i could get would be amazing.

It is the 22re it runs good. I would like to know if i should do a solid axle swap or leave the independent front. I would also like to know if i should do dual transfer case or leave it single and how hard dual is. I also need a new tailgait if anyone has one for sale i would be very interested.

I'd keep ifs and do a blaze land long travel kit or a SAS. Either way you can make it ride better than stock. Duals aren't really that hard and I'd do stock geared duals so you don't have to redo drivelines twice.

I would suggest just getting some good tires on it and running what you have til you get some trail time then you'll see better where you need improvement.   I would run the ifs til it falls off

I've run several IFS trucks pretty hard and only have snapped one front axle. The main thing to remember is it is IFS and you need to take care on the throttle so as not to break stuff. You will also learn to take different angles at obstacles over a straight axle rig. Oh and get used to 3 wheelin'.

you have a few options 1 keep the ifs and add better tires and rear locker option 2 ifs lift 33s and duals option 3 sas either yotas axles or full width 37+ tires duals but pick and have fun building

Start wheeling and cruising the board. Tons of sweet ideas on here.
