Hey man, just a quick tip for you. Anytime you are loading a trailer you should always try to center the load over the axles of the trailer. Putting the weight to far forward like you have transfers alot of tounge weight onto the tow veichle....if you had not pulled the silver 4runner up on the trailer as far it would not have squatted the rear of your tow rig near as much and been safer. You are transferring weight to the rear of the red 4runner, taking pressure off the front tires & limiting you braking & steering effectiveness.

As long as you got it home safe then that is all that matters. Sounds like you got an awesome deal on the silver one. 3.0?

Its time to put the snows on, I know its a little early, but Im going to be doing a lot of highway travel in the next month, and putting the stockers (snow tires) on was easier and quicker than putting the 4.56s in. Now pushing that off till spring. haha.



I also picked up an RC crawler for poos and giggles. Man these things are fun. I know it a jeep body...kills me too, need to find a yota body

Here's my 91 sr5 3.0.. Bought it about a year ago from the original owner with 100k on the clock. He drove it 12 miles a day to and from work, 5 days a week and only used the 4x4 when it snowed (and here and there to keep it in good shape). Had the head gasket recall done at 75,000. Not a scratch or dent on the thing and the interior is perfect except for a wear spot on the drivers seat. He ordered it with all options except AC as it doesn't get that hot around here. Plenty of life and power left in this engine.
I plan to do an AAL and new tires but leave it pretty much like that. it's my DD and wont see much action other than forest service roads and some snow.
I thought I had the cleanest 91 till i saw some of the trucks in this thread!!

What do y'all think?

I agree, sweet truck (but you are not supposed to ask how much someone paid unless they offer to tell)

Trippy on the tires thing....amazing how much extra wear can go on things that weren't built for larger and meaner applications, eh? I'll be happy when I get to 90% restored. I'm getting there, slowly but surely.... and DANG it's been fun......mostly..... no really, it has! hahahah.

Take care, Big, ...
