1988 was the first year of that crappy 3.0 V6. Also remember that the 4Runners ran from 84-89 and the trucks of that same body style ran from 84-88 and in 89 the trucks got the new body style while the 4Runner did not change until 1990.

from what i've gathered on the truck:
87 std cab
Auto
22re
a lil bit of rust haven't seen it in person yet but will go later today, prob will buy it on the spot
owner says it leaks a lil bit but im not beyond replacing the timing cover if i have to., power steering mine leaked till i switched to atf.
says he doesn't know what's wrong with the ac.

got the truck. drives good handles decent ( suspension is stiffer than ) 230 something miles, doesn't have that tick tick tick noise.
bad- bed is FUBAR not worth all the sheet metal work
fuel guage doesn't work (maybe sending unit or fuse but pump works)
suspension - shocks are good but to small and it rides like a dump truck
looks like the valve cover gasket is bad ( got a new one in my eb-master kit)
Exhaust is a joke has a glasspack alum taped in place and wire strands holding it (nothing i can't fix)
when i hit a hard bump CEL and some other lights came on (did this maybe 2 times hasn't happened again)
Overall - im digging what it's about to look like after i paint it and throw on a toytec lift
gonna be a DD and wheeler) It Even has window vents, sliding window, and STOCK MUD FLAPs

1st gen = different. 4" lift will clear 35's easy on an IFS truck. Heck with just a torsion crank on the front of mine a few hammers and a valance removal I fit 33's and most like my stance. The front I would say is a little over 1" taller due to torsion crank, rear is raked maybe 2.5" total, with the flatbed and no fenderwells in addition to extra weight I carry I needed it. No body lift here BTW.
