My '85
Here is a pic of my recently purchased '85 4runner. I has been sitting for 10 years so I have a lot of work to do but it only has 81k! Sorry, I don't know how to post big pix.

Holy Cow! This thread has some of my original posts! DANG!
That same 87 runner has had A LOT of changes, and is now a parts truck for my new 89 1st gen 4runner.
Way to much to list that has been done to the 87, but it went through some pretty good changes: ARB's, Complete DOM steering redo, dual cases, flat belly, bumpers, sliders, gas tank relocation, etc....
The 89 has a redone front frame, a 3.4 L, FJ80 front axle, hellfire fab knuckles, ARB's F/R, coilovers, links, and is still very much under construction.

I ran a 4.7 by itself for a few years. Didn't like it inbetween obstacles: Way too slow. But, on the rocks, it was pretty good. I like duals with the 4.7 a lot better.

On obstacles, just a touch of the gas peddle is needed. But, it sucks between the obstacles, like fire roads, etc. Knowing what I know now, I would prefer 2 stock cases bolted together at least. At the time, I couldn't afford to replace the crossmember again, let alone get the drive shafts re-done.
I went with a single 4.7 case because I bought the whole thing for $250, case and fresh new Marlin gears. I'm always looking for the deals!
